On June 19, 1865, General someone landed in Galveston and announced two and a half years late that the slaves had been freed by Lincoln's Emanipation Proclamation. It's now an official state holiday in Texas. (I would like to point out that Texas also celebrates Confederate Heroes Day. Such is the absurdity of Texas.)
Being a state holiday, I get comp time for working today. There were all of 4 people in my office today. The 3 support staff who were there went to lunch at a place called Leaf, which is a make your own salad place. The salads are huge (I couldn't finish mine. This is a salad we're talking about) and really good. It's downtown in an area I haven't really been before. I don't spend much time downtown unless I'm at the drafthouse. :)
