We have a lot of bank holidays, I recently realised. It’s weird to me to get a day off in honour of some religious happening that may or may not have actually happened and that none of the people I know really cares about. I gladly join the party, though, when we celebrate the fact that we live in a country that’s more or less ‘free’. But that’s only a bank holiday once every five years. Weird priorities? Yes. Is it important enough to change? Not really. Am I bummed out by that? No, not at all, this was just a little observation of mine that I wanted to hurl into cyberspace, along with a semi-appropriate picture I took recently that’s also pretty by itself.
