On George Washington’s Birthday, sometimes called President Day, City Images looks at the way our POTUS preferred to pray.

Washington's Birthday became a federal holiday back in 1879. Nearly one hundred years later in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved several federal holidays to Mondays and established Washington's Birthday as the third Monday in February. At that same time, it was recommended but not adopted that the holiday be renamed Presidents Day, to celebrate Lincoln's birthday as well.

Nobody likes going to the dentist. I just experienced having my tooth pulled and I recalled that popular phrase, just like pulling teeth.

While it should not bring us pain, having my tooth pulled was a real strain. I can also say I felt a slight pressure as my tooth was being loosened and extracted.

I also heard a snapping or creaking sound. This was perfectly normal, as the tooth and its socket are both hard tissues and mine came out in two pieces.

The USA has now surpassed 800,000 Covid deaths and a grand total of 50 million cases thus far showing the world how we really are.

Some new variants, like Omicron, are especially concerning because they may have made the virus more contagious or more deadly.

Americans’ brains overreact to scale, like a major plane crash. We react less to everyday threats that are more in our control. We can beat #COVID. Get vaccinated, wear your seat belt, and keep hanging your Christmas stockings with much care in hope that Corona won’t be spreading there.
