To bad it’s a lottery. I could see the Wild being last in the league and end up picking 4th or something like that 

That'd be our luck

LOL all we try to do on the PP is feed Dumba or Hunt,  seriously  I mean there are guys on the ice too.

PP #2

Being I’m an Eagles fan because of a nephew on the team they can make any QB look like Joe Montana. I’ve never seen a worse defensive backfield. By the way I grew up a Vikes fan and still am unless of course they are playing the Eagles. Heading to Philly Wednesday to help my daughter move there for her new LPGA job. Going to a Flyers/Stars game Saturday night 

LPGA meaning the Ladies Professional Golf Association I presume.

Here is what I found

Why do we celebrate Columbus Day?

The first Columbus Day celebration recorded in the United States was in New York on October 12th, 1792, held  to honor Italian-American heritage. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937 proclaimed October 12th to be Columbus Day, a national holiday. In 1971, the holiday date was changed to the second Monday in October.

For various reasons, many places have changed the name of the holiday. Berkeley, California, replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day in 1992 to honor the original inhabitants of the islands where Columbus landed.  In 1989, South Dakota started calling the holiday Native American Day. Alabama celebrates a combination of Columbus Day and American Indian Heritage Day, and Hawaii calls it Discovery Day. Other countries also celebrate Columbus with different holidays; for example, in the Bahamas, it is called Discovery Day, and as Día de la Hispanidad and Fiesta Nacional in Spain.

Although when I was in grad school in Connecticut, I think I still had classes on Columbus Day.

not even sure why we Celebrate it as Columbus never set foot in America  he made it to the Bahamas but never actually set foor in North America to my knowledge.

If we were playing the Islanders, we'd be playing an early game as well, as they "proudly" celebrate Columbus Day.
