I have thought about this problem before. Here is the solution:

Get rid of Martin Luther King day in January when no one wants a holiday, and create a "Civil Rights Day" in August to honor King and Rosa Parks and all the others. Voila! Three day weekend in August.

April has Palm Sunday, Passover, Good Friday, Easter, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Administrative Professionals Day.

May has Mother's Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day.

Even Mexico doesn't have a holiday in August and those m'fers know how to fiesta.

And a bargain at that. I remember the first time I was there, coming from Vegas and the land of $20 dances, I asked the girl how much a dance was. She said $5. I about choked, pulled out a $100 bill and said "wake me when you are done".

you could write our lawmakers and ask them why there are no holidays in the month of august... but every Aug. they take their summer recess.
