National Holiday

In Hungary October 23rd is a national holiday.

You can read more about it at:

Since the Holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, Saturday became an official work day and Monday became a day off. This playing of musical workdays will happen again next weekend where Saturday is a workday (at least for the schools) so that November 2nd can be a day off after the November 1st All Saints Day Holiday.

I had high hopes for being able to spend a little time reading and relaxing today but alas, (insert dramatic sigh here), I simply have too much to do. Maybe tomorrow. I got a note from the US Embassy counseling to stay away from the scheduled protests. After last years riots I'm not plannning on venturing out at all, even to any of the cultural programs. I'm praying that things will stay calm and peaceful this year.

I pulled this comic from my archives of favorite comics. It seemed to fit the moment. Enjoy
