Today is Presidents Day or Washington’s Birthday

Today, the third Monday in February, is Presidents Day. It is a federal holiday, which means the banks and all government offices are closed. In addition, as I learned this morning, the food banks are closed. There is also no mail today.

Presidents Day began as Washington's Birthday and is still known as Washington's Birthday. George Washington, the first president of the United States, was born on February 22, 1732. Today is a good day to learn about the presidents of the United States.

In Las Vegas, this Presidents Day is cloudy and rainy. It is cold enough to put on a sweat shirt or a sweater. It waited until Mom and I got back home this morning to rain, so I did not drive in the rain. That was probably just as well because traffic was thick and rain would have made driving in Las Vegas worse.
