It wasn't until AFTER I got out of school that I found out that the Friday after Thanksgiving Day wasn't officially a holiday even though almost everyone also takes that day off although for me I hit Walgreens hard due to the Black Friday deals.

I know a couple of guys that run food trucks to the industrial parks and I guarantee they won’t be working during La Puente because almost all of their customers will be home. Most likely they also won’t work Christmas Eve and New Years Eve as well.

“So enjoy La Puentes...”

Sorry to sound grumpy, but what does this have to do with the United States? We are not “Estados Unidos” yet.

When you’re retired, every day is a La Puente......In fact, when I get up in the morning I have to look at my digital watch to see what day it is........

La Puente, Calif., about 10 miles north of Whittier used to be known for its cattle, chicken and sheep ranches. Now, much of it has become the well-to-do suburb of Hacienda Heights and the City of Industry, an incorporated “city” that is mostly shopping malls, warehouses and industrial parks with only a few dozen actual “citizens.” The rest of La Puente, an incorporated city, is a suburb populated mostly by Mexican-Americans.

I am very happy that the new place I am working is closed on the Friday after thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving I was pretty sure about, but the Christmas thing is a real gift, since as a new person I’d never have the standing to take it off. We’ll probably have to work on Friday, Jan 2, but that is OK.
