HAPPY PATRIOTS DAY!

[Accipiter22]

It's my favorite holiday of the year, Patriot's Day. To celebrate the start of the American revolution at the battle of lexington and concord....also celebrated in Maine I believe. Growing up I never had school on Patriot's Day, same in college (or I just skipped). Today's actually the first Patriot's Day ever that I've actually gone to work/school. It was great growing up, cause the weather is just getting great and there's a 3 day weekend to celebrate.



pelt me with cookies and shower me with beer..and toss a few presents my way

not everyone gets it off...schools are closed and such, and some businesses are too.

What's with you guys and wars? My friends took me to some beach where they had two towers, which were built in case the Germans invaded Massachussets. I was lol'ing my ass off...why would MA be a target..?
