i love RI but sometimes i wonder...

tomorrow is a state holiday celebrating VJ Day, aka Victory In Japan Day to celebrate our victory over Japan in WWII.

now i have posted about thia before but doesn't something just seem not right about this? especially since RI and UT are the only two states who actually celebrate it?

either way i am a bit jealous that i don't work in RI and get the day off but i guess i get patriots day off so it all works out.

I've been told they're called Angel Chaps. We asked the old mormon dude with 11 kids that question and he got huffy.

this reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Mississippi, which is known (officially i believe) as Robert E Lee Day.
