    No, but while working, I've been listening to podcasts about his life.
    It includes interviews with people who knew him well.
    Sometimes it makes me cry, thinking how wonderful he was, his message, his integrity and courage, and the horror that there is so much hate in the world that someone had to murder a preacher of unconditional love and human rights.

    Laziness is a positive thing...despite what the goofballs who came up with the seven deadly sins say. Sloth rules.

    No MLK is not celebrated here.  The Embassy is closed and the Consulate is open however.  Note, the Marines are working as is most of the staff

    Element I know that however in Austria, the Consulate was open; the Embassy was closed.  Normally with GS4 and Austrian security most facilities for US Holidays have no US Guards, DSS or Marines on Duty except one on duty at each facility regardless. The rest are all at Marine House having a BBQ on Commissary or UN Commissary Booze.

    This year the prick of an Ambassador took a personal day and made everyone else work - The State Department is fully funded.  This political appointee is a joke.  We also have the UN Mission, and the Tripartite Committee here.  Each has its own Ambassador and Marine Security Guard contingent who live at Marine House.
     
    The overall Ambassador told everyone to work, he took the F-ing day off
