I was off Friday (puting in a sprinkler system...weee fun) So when I came in to the office Monday morning there were a ton of posts on the Bankers' Threads. During the day I like to check in see what topics are up. Well, today (Monday) I checked back in and noticed that the number of posts seemed quite low.

Then the light bulb turned on...

Today is a bank holiday...doh!

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!

Don't feel bad, I sorta wondered a few times why the activity was so low; but since we have a big meeting tomorrow, I really didn't give it any serious thought either!! Maybe we should have given ourselves a party today! Happy Dedicated Banker Day

PS And on the bright side, the spam is down today too!!

The best part about a 3 day weekend is a 4 day work week. (And it helps to know that someone else was at work today. I just worked from home while watching TechTV. Gottaluvit.)

Some of us had to work yesterday! But I guess that's ok cause we're off for Mardi Gras and most people are not.

Some of us had to work yesterday and we don't get Mardi Gras off BUT we do get to have a jeans day for the World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale! When you work here you have to learn to enjoy life's simplest pleasures

I don't know how to provide an internet link, but there are several sites out there. Here's an excerpt from one:

"We like the pace a bit slower in these parts. Unless, of course, you happen to be here during the "World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale." Always the third weekend in May, this event - dubbed the "Cowboy Mardis Gras" - consists of three days of broncs being ridden and auctioned off, plus street dances in the "people corral" on Main Street and other western activities. Miles City's population of about 8,500 easily doubles with visitors from the states and abroad."

Believe me, for us it's big time. Those years it doesn't snow or rain that weekend are the best. And I'm telling you Andy, with only 3 jeans days a year it's pretty exciting when they come around!

I grew up 150 miles from Miles City, Montana. Although I have never attended the Bucking Horse Sale I have heard many interesting stories. I plan on getting there some time in the future. If anyone wants to see what the real west is like - plan to attend this.

Hey, is that anything like "Mule Day" which we have at some locations here in the south?

That might depend on how much beer is consumed.
