Today (Monday) is not Presidents Day. The official name for the federal holiday is “Washington’s Birthday”. It’s been that way since 1886, but in the late 1960s, when Congress was moving around a bunch of federal holidays to make three-day weekends, Illinois pushed to change the name to Presidents Day to honor Abraham Lincoln. But Virginia blocked the move to protect its native son, and it remained Washington’s Birthday — as far as the federal government is concerned.
But state and local governments can call the day whatever they want, and some refer to it as Presidents Day. And, of course, so do many retailers when promoting their big holiday weekend sales. Thus, the myth of Presidents Day persists.
By the way, George Washington was born February 22, 1732

A group of inmates doing some work on a highway median saw the frightened mom and ran over to help. One of the inmates who had a history of breaking into cars knew what to do. Using a clothes hanger, he was able to get into the door and unlock it, allowing the mom to get her baby before any harm could be done. The baby was unharmed during the time locked in the car. The mom of the rescued 1-year-old said she plans to find out the names of the inmates who helped and will contribute to their commissary accounts.
