I for one will NOT be working either this "Lords Day" nor on the anniversary of my Christian Savior's birth (Dec. 25). Will you also be taking advantage of this "special treatment"? In Arizona (and I am sure in Utah) we observe LDS (Mormon) holidays too, simply because there are enough Mormons here to demand it. Try holding a school meeting on "family home night" for example. -- Mike Waters (for your EDIFication) * Motorola CAD Group * Witty remark goes *HERE* Mesa, AZ ...!sun!sunburn!dover!waters * OR moto@cad.Berkley.EDU *
