Columbus Day

[Big Babooba]

In fourteen hundred and ninety - two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Discovered America?
That may not be true
But I get time and a half
And the holiday pay too!

I had a Indian (Native American) customer on my route that would give me hard time about things like Cloumbus Day. We kidded back and forth about such things as the Indians trading Manhattan Island for $24 worth of beads and he had such gems as - the best thing his people ever did to get even was to introduce the white man to tobacco. He always closed his auto body shop for Columbus Day just as a joke and I had to work.

I just got back from visiting some family on a reservation, and pretty much the whole rez takes tomorrow off for Native American Day (other than the Casino, which pays double time

The "storm" of the century is supposed to hit today here in NorCal. High winds reaching 60mph in some areas, up to 6 incehs of rain. All I know is my dog doesn't like to "do his business" in the rain. This is my challenge on raining days

11 months a year in Prescott. Not likely unless you don't mind riding in snow. 11 months on my side of the mountain is do-able. I don't because I don't like freezing my ass off, but there are many who do.

Columbus wasn't exactly the intrepid adventurer we read about in elementary school, nor a particularly good guy. Fred must agree, because we are always on straight time every Columbus Day. Another benefit of being a Teamster.
