This coming Monday is Presidents Day!
This vacation is especially noteworthy in that no person appears to know easy methods to punctuate it. For instance, USA Right this moment appears to assume it’s “President’s Day,” though their very personal headline explains why that is improper:
Come on, it’s for ALL PRESIDENTS! If it was simply “President’s Day” then we’d solely be honoring one president at a time. I don’t understand how that may work, although perhaps we may spin a giant wheel yearly:
There’s a lotta fascinating facial hair on that wheel:

I suppose what I’m getting at is that I gained’t be updating this internet go surfing President’s’s Day, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the day after that. And by then it will likely be the weekend, and so I’ll be again right here on Monday, February twenty fourth at which level I’ll resume common updates. The rationale for that is that the colleges are closed all subsequent week, and so I’m taking the entire household tenting at Mount Rushmore in Teddy Roosevelt’s nostril.
Oh, and blissful Valentine’s Day–or Valentines’ Day should you’re polyamorous:
[Talk about wayward apostrophes…]
Sure, it’s that magical time of 12 months once we have a good time each love and presidents, and massive, huge financial savings on automobiles and vans collide.
Anyway, if you end up at unfastened ends subsequent week, perhaps you possibly can benefit from your idle time by studying easy methods to clear your bike:
Is easy methods to clear a motorbike one thing individuals actually battle with? That is like when Kramer didn’t know easy methods to take a bathe:

Effectively, hopefully he figures it out quickly, as a result of there’s nothing worse for the surroundings than using a unclean bicycle:
In opposition to my higher judgment I clicked on the linked article, from which I realized the next:
So principally don’t have a house, don go away the house you don’t have, don’t do something, and don’t eat something. Why don’t they simply come proper out and inform you to kill your self? After all, should you do kill your self, simply make certain to do it in an environmentally pleasant vogue, ideally by burying your self alive on the native compositing website.
Nonetheless, should you do selfishly insist on residing, make certain to blather on about sustainability if you go to the native bike store:
I’m positive they’ll actually admire it:
And emailing your favourite bike model is a good higher thought, as a result of if there’s one factor the biking world wants it’s extra smug lectures from John Burke:
Nonetheless ready for the announcement that they’re going to cease promoting EPS foam helmets and plastic bicycles.
Till then, thanks for studying and journey secure, however simply be sure you accomplish that on a clear bicycle. You understand, for the planet. I’ll see you again right here on Monday, February twenty fourth.
