Chuck,
You guys (and gals) in Texas certainly have it made: no snow, no set
Boxing Day, two Independence Days, and the list goes on. Looks like an
ideal place for a procrastinator like me.
Thanks for clarifying this for me. This gives all sorts of ideas.
Let's see, maybe we can postpone the deadline for filing income taxes a
month or so,... I've always been in favour of moving leap year day from
February to July. February is a cold month and we don't have to make it
any longer than it is already. On the other hand, an extra day in July
every four years would be nice.
