Today is the birthday celebration of George Washington. Washington was said to be "First in War, First in Peace and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen."
My wife purchased this old ad, from a 1930s Life Magazine from the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The C&O often billed itself as "George Washington's Railroad" as one of the predecessor companies, a canal company was chartered by our first President. Never to miss an opportunity, the ad also reminds the traveling public of the "fully air conditioned" train The George Washington with daily departures from both Cincinnati and Washington, D.C., with connections to Louisville and Newport News.

George Washington's birthday is Feb 22nd.
Humm! IT does say "today is the birthday celebration of George Washington's Birthday"! Not that today is his birthday!
I know, but today is the Federal holiday of "President's Day" which began as a celebration of Washington's Birthday. You also have to remember I am a laywer, and as such, you must read what I write very carefully...
Very true, it is also the celebration of all of our presidents. I am old school, I still recognize Feb 22nd as the day.
What is a "laywer"?
A laywer is a lawyer who often types too fast for his own good.
OK, you two, please take this outside. People are trying to sleep.
