We dont’ celebrate MLK day her in Canada, but I am retired, so it don’t matter one way or other to me.. He was a great person and I am glad that he has his own day.
Love the new emoticons… And the names of those towns had me chuckling out loud…
Have a great day.

Okay this isn’t the name of a town in Indiana (though we have some funny ones…no one tell my daughter there is one called Bacon, In or her bags will be packed and she’ll be out of here), but I found this story…
It’s about naming a government center after a 4 term mayor that was pretty well liked despite his name.

As for the holiday…what holiday? I have to work. (Wait, let me rephrase that….I GET to work. It’s all a part of my more positive attitude I’m going for…although today, not feeling it so much). I’ve been getting ready to paint another room in the house which will only leave 2 more and I will finally be rid of the ugly color and flat paint in my house! If I could only grab some energy now to do the prep work for it.
:sick
