Ebonic speaking dictators should be
classified as ESL dictators. Contractions, dropping letters, making up your own words make it much harder to transcribe. Since this is a verbatim account, with light editing allowed, I should leave all the verbage that is being used.

Yes, Columbus...

Packing up as we speak...it IS sad.

Columbus Day
I really hate to be a stickler but... you are seeing the ships a little bit early. Today is the federal observation day of Columbus day, so that there can be a 3 day holiday. However, the real Columbus Day is not until October 12th. Wish the government never would have fooled with real holidays and would let them fall when they are suppose to. Sorry, just irks me that we can no longer celebrate holidays when we are suppose to.

Columbus here - nm
