What does Columbus Day mean to you?

I had not remembered about Columbus Day* until I tried to print postage for Monday ships and stamps.com pushed it up to Tuesday.

I remember when I was a kid, all the stores would remind you by having big Columbus Day sales ("Ladies Underwear half off for Columbus!" OK, I made that one up) but not so much anymore. I understand it's a real big deal back east. They love him in Sheboygan.

Apparently there are many who don't like him because he started the whole colonization thing. But hey look, if it wasn't him, it would have been someone else. Eventually an airplane capable of going to the edge of the world would have been invented, anyway.

At any rate, we can't ship anything until Tuesday morning. I hope this doesn't put a crimp in anyone's toothpaste.

* Columbus Day, not "Columbo" day, whereupon everyone wears a raincoat and asks lots of questions
