Good morning and happy early birthday to our good friend George Washington, who is the reason banks, post offices, schools, and federal offices are closed today. Washington is also a pretty big reason we have a country today, and tomorrow would’ve been his 290th birthday if not for his sudden and unexpected death by way of a throat infection at his Mt. Vernon estate in 1799. R.I.P., King.
Today, we celebrate Washington and all U.S. Presidents, even the ones you don’t like, on this Presidents’ Day 2022. Enjoy your day off, if you get one of those.
Here at KSR, we don’t know what days off are, so it’s business as usual on the internet (although, the radio show is off due to neverending technical difficulties).
