For those who reside or work in the City That L’Enfant Built, it is a public holiday; for some throughout this land, it is a religious holiday; while not a “major” Federal holiday, Post Offices and the Federal Reserve System are closed, though stock exchanges are open.

But US Tax Court is shut. Whether Judges, STJs, law clerks, flailing date-stampers or hard-laboring clerks deem it Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, or a religious holiday, they ain’t around.

So neither is this my blog.
