This coming Monday is Presidents Day!
This vacation is especially noteworthy in that no person appears to know the right way to punctuate it. For instance, USA As we speak appears to assume it’s “President’s Day,” although their very personal headline explains why that is unsuitable:
Come on, it’s for ALL PRESIDENTS! If it was simply “President’s Day” then we’d solely be honoring one president at a time. I don’t understand how that will work, although possibly we might spin a giant wheel yearly:
There’s a lotta attention-grabbing facial hair on that wheel:
Others with a firmer grasp on apostrophe utilization go together with “Presidents’ Day:”

It’s the secure alternative in that it eliminates the danger of a misplaced apostrophe
The apostrophe is possessive, however the vacation doesn’t belong to the presidents (nearly all of whom are too lifeless to get pleasure from it anyway), it belongs to us!
Saves weight and is extra aero
I suppose what I’m getting at is that I gained’t be updating this net go surfing President’s’s Day, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the day after that. And by then it is going to be the weekend, and so I’ll be again right here on Monday, February twenty fourth at which level I’ll resume common updates. The rationale for that is that the colleges are closed all subsequent week, and so I’m taking the entire household tenting at Mount Rushmore in Teddy Roosevelt’s nostril.
Oh, and pleased Valentine’s Day–or Valentines’ Day if you happen to’re polyamorous:
[Talk about wayward apostrophes…]
Sure, it’s that magical time of yr after we rejoice each love and presidents, and massive, large financial savings on automobiles and vans collide.
Anyway, if you end up at unfastened ends subsequent week, possibly you possibly can benefit from your idle time by studying the right way to clear your bike:
Is the right way to clear a motorcycle one thing individuals actually wrestle with? That is like when Kramer didn’t know the right way to take a bathe:
Apparently no person ever taught him the right way to wash his bike, identical to no person ever taught him to…brush his enamel?
Ah, proper, this can be a British publication.
Apparently the primary downside he’s having is that he’s by no means heard of gloves:
Or possibly he has, however no person ever taught him the right way to put them on:
Effectively, hopefully he figures it out quickly, as a result of there’s nothing worse for the setting than driving a grimy bicycle:
In opposition to my higher judgment I clicked on the linked article, from which I discovered the next:
So principally don’t have a house, go away the house you don’t have, don’t do something, and don’t eat something. Why don’t they simply come proper out and let you know to kill your self? In fact, if you happen to do kill your self, simply be certain to do it in an environmentally pleasant trend, ideally by burying your self alive on the native compositing website.
Nonetheless, if you happen to do selfishly insist on residing, be certain to blather on about sustainability while you go to the native bike store:
I’m certain they’ll actually admire it:
And emailing your favourite bike model is a fair higher concept, as a result of if there’s one factor the biking world wants it’s extra smug lectures from John Burke:
Nonetheless ready for the announcement that they’re going to cease promoting EPS foam helmets and plastic bicycles.
Till then, thanks for studying and experience secure, however simply be sure to accomplish that on a clear bicycle. You understand, for the planet. I’ll see you again right here on Monday, February twenty fourth.
