No bra day.. Free the tatas.

Only if they were paid federal holidays

Shouldn't this have been "22-OCT, CAPS LOCKS DAY"? In fact everything on the 22nd should have been in caps.

will be October the 25th. That's when I start my 3,000 mile drive to Mexico for the winter !!!

The whole first half of October was a paid federal holiday, this year, since they "shut down the Government" and "furloughed" the people, and then still gave them back-pay for it!

Yea, (I sarcastically say) that's how to save money for us all, by screwing so many out of services and then still paying for it as if it happened anyway!
