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 Right this moment appears to suppose it’s “President’s Day,” though 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 know the way that might work, although perhaps we might spin an enormous wheel yearly:

There’s a lotta fascinating facial hair on that wheel:

Others with a firmer grasp on apostrophe utilization go along with “Presidents’ Day:”

Although whereas that is technically right I believe “Presidents Day” might be your best option, for the next causes:

• It’s the protected selection in that it eliminates the danger of a misplaced apostrophe
• The apostrophe is possessive, however the vacation doesn’t belong to the presidents (virtually 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 internet 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 will probably 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 faculties are closed all subsequent week, and so I’m taking the entire household tenting at Mount Rushmore in Teddy Roosevelt’s nostril.

Oh, and glad Valentine’s Day–or Valentines’ Day in case you’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 vehicles and vans collide.

Anyway, if you end up at unfastened ends subsequent week, perhaps you’ll be able to make the most of your idle time by studying the right way to clear your bike:

Is the right way to clear a motorbike 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, similar 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 perhaps he has, however no person ever taught him the right way to put them on:

Properly, hopefully he figures it out quickly, as a result of there’s nothing worse for the atmosphere than using a grimy bicycle:

In opposition to my higher judgment I clicked on the linked article, from which I realized the next:

So principally don’t have a house, don 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? After all, in case you do kill your self, simply ensure to do it in an environmentally pleasant trend, ideally by burying your self alive on the native compositing website.

Nonetheless, in case you do selfishly insist on residing, ensure to blather on about sustainability if you go to the native bike store:

I’m certain they’ll actually recognize it:

And emailing your favourite bike model is a good higher thought, 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 trip protected, however simply be sure you accomplish that on a clear bicycle. You recognize, for the planet. I’ll see you again right here on Monday, February twenty fourth.

Your’s Sincearly,
