President's Day, remember when

We used to have good presidents, or at least successful presidencies?

It used to be, in California at least, that there would be a holiday for George Washington and one for Abraham Lincoln, on their birthdays (being days off as a child, February 12 and 22 are firmly imprinted in my brain). I guess Lincoln's birthday was never a federal holiday, but many states made it a holiday. Is that still the case for the California slackers (almost as bad as Australia there), or is the Golden State down to one day off for the presidents?

Yes, sorry to say.

I recall we also honored Admissions Day on September 12.

Presidents day what a stupid holiday. Kill it and reinstate Washington’s birthday. Now there is a man we should remember, Ronald Reagan of the eighteenth century.
