>>>A three day weekend coming up to thank that great explorer Christopher Columbus who found Ohio I think because America does not seemed to be named after him. So to all people living in towns named Columbus get out their and have fun....

>To all those living North of the border Happy Thanksgiving and all of those of the Jewish faith Happy Yom Kippur...

Happy Yom Kippur? I think you're thinking of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.< s > That was last Saturday.
