Today is Columbus Day. Unlike here in Colorado, it is still celebrated in Chicago, and is still a school holiday. I myself was never crazy about school, and was thrilled to get a day off from attending Fort Dearborn Grammar School, located on the south side of Chicago and seen in the photo above, along with one of the Kloak kids (there were many), taken by me back in 1963. Although Columbus Day is still a holiday for Chicago Public Schools, that is not the case for schools in Colorado and many other states. In fact, Columbus Day in this state might soon become Indigenous People's Day. Talk about the power of political correctness! In any case, congratulations to all you students out there who will be getting a holiday this Monday, political correctness be damned. I'm just sayin.'
