Is PSA open tomorrow?

lsutigers1973 · October 12, 2008 11:26AM

With tomorrow being a fake holiday and the PO closed, was just wondering if my generous grader will be at work. I don't want to click on "Submission Status" 100 times tomorrow if no one is even at PSA.

What's tomorrow besides Monday?

BunchOBull · October 12, 2008 11:29AM

This pieces me off...I was very much looking forward to checking the mailbox tomorrow.

lsutigers1973 · October 12, 2008 11:29AM

Isn't tomorrow Columbus Day?

BunchOBull · October 12, 2008 11:31AM

<< Isn't tomorrow Columbus Day? >>

It is, I had blissfully forgotten.

<< Isn't tomorrow Columbus Day? >>

Got me?

lsutigers1973 · October 12, 2008 11:32AM

I guess it will just be another day that I won't get either of my 89 Fleer cases.

We should ask Jim if he gets mad at the post office when they don't run on obscure holidays, thus delaying that "big delivery" another day. Other than that, I bet PO employees love Columbus Day.

Columbus discovered America in 1492, about 9,000 years after peoples who migrated from Asia did. LOL

<< Columbus discovered America in 1492, about 9,000 years after peoples who migrated from Asia did. LOL >>

That is part of my arguement. Columbus was a doofus that got lost and never set foot on what is known as the continental US. Amerca was named after Amerigo Vespucci. If Columbus discovered America why isn't it called the United States of Columbia? Not to mention, how can you "discover" a place that is already occupied?

In other words, because he got credit, I will not be getting my 89 Fleer cases tomorrow either. I hate Columbus.

I am pretty sure they were open last year on Columbus Day, so I would guess yes.

The good news is that my 401k won't loose any more money tomorrow

It's the old story - Those who win the wars get to write history. The Europeans beat the Native Americans, therefore they got to write the history.

My school textbooks in the 70's mentioned none of these facts about this, even though the facts were quite obvious with the Mayans, Aztecs and all that, that there had been peoples in North and South America for a very long time...Of course the textbooks mentioned these peoples almost in the same vain as the Europeans found buffalo and other creatures here...like the "Indians" were just almost like another animal found living here. Fortunately the truth is now being told and that's a good thing.

in other words, we stole it from the indians - they never tought that back in 50-60s either

If it's any comfort, tomorrow is Native American Day in South Dakota, Rube

If they are coming UPS then you may get them. A few years ago they gave up CD as a holiday to get the day after T'Giving. Get the tracking # and check in the am. This is assuming that they are coming UPS of course.

In any event the "Indians" are finally getting their revenge on the white man - it's called fleecing the white man's money at Indian Casinos.

Huh, I'm a "Indian" where do I sign up for this fleecing of the white man's money. I could use some right about now.

My Grandma was 1/2 Caddo Indian. Does that mean I get 1/8th of the fleeced money?

BunchOBull · October 12, 2008 10:52PM

For real, I'm a little less than a quarter Cherokee...and I didn't even get my education paid for by rez money...

Me too. My late father's grandparents on his mom's side were Cherokee Indians.

I'm surprised we still have a Columbus day. I've read lots of good articles over the years that all say Columbus did not discover America.

lsutigers1973 · October 12, 2008 11:30PM

I tell my kids if they ever get a question on an American History test in school that asks who discovered America, to answer with Amerigo Vespucci. If the teacher says the answer is wrong, which he/she will then I will go to the school and prove him/her wrong or at least put up a good arguement.

I just called....................

Is PSA open tomorrow?
