Is President's Day now Patriot's Day?
Did I miss a memo?

I was googling to find a graphic of Lincoln and clicked onto a site called "Web Clip Art with Bobbie Peachey, Your Guide to one of hundreds of sites" (link below). No mention of Presidents' Day, or Washington or Lincoln's Birthdays, but they do include "Patriot's Day".

When did this happen?

Btw, the holiday after Patriot's Day is supposed to be St. Patrick's Day. I think it's a typo - for now anyway.

1. One isolated site
I look at my calendar. It says "President's Day".

I think we're OK on this one.

2. I know Mass...
And Maine because it was a part of Mass at it's inception, both celebrate Patriots Day, on the day of the Lexington-Concord skirmish...

3. You got me started thinking
about checking for background on the source, including location.

Bobbie Peachey, the guide for the graphics section, is "on a lifelong study of people and lifestyles while moving frequently around the mountain and desert states of California, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona."

Not sure what that indicates.
