the only ones i really don't see accounted for are jan 30, and april 9, but i do recall something going on, like government declaring those some sort of holiday.

hmm, starting to remember slowly,lol they weren't holidays, but i know there was some sort of gov. closure for some reason, in celebration of something, but not official yearly holidays, lol never mind i'm confusing myself now.
