world's boringest holidays
Ian Ford
coming week is National Transportation Week.

"...inviting the people of the United States to observe National
Transportation Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities as a
tribute to the men and women who, night and day, move goods and
individuals throughout the United States."
May 15th is National Defense Transportation Day.
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/36/120.html
"...urging the people of the United States, including labor, management,
users, and investors, in all communities served by the various forms of
transportation to observe National Defense Transportation Day by
appropriate ceremonies that will give complete recognition to the
importance to each community and its people of the transportation system
of the United States and the maintenance of the facilities of the system
in the most modern state of adequacy to serve the needs of the United
States in times of peace and in national defense."
When I think of all the things to celebrate and honor, "adequate
maintenance" is usually not one of them!
