There's a lot of accumulated errors in the law, and I thought it might be a good idea to just take a minute and fix them.  This bill strikes all the empty sections and directs them to be renumbered, and confirms the existing text where it is in doubt.  I think I got them all, but I'll still need to go through and check to make sure no references are being broken.

(I had a snow day today.)

THEREFORE, the section Lexh.A.9 shall be struck from the law, and all subsequent sections and subsections renumbered sequentially.

FURTHERMORE, the text of Lexh.A.16, which currently reads:

QuoteExcept as provided in A.17, whoever does any of the following is guilty of a crime subject to punishment by banishment, revocation of citizenship, any combination of civil disabilities and any other authorized punishments:

shall be replaced by

QuoteWhoever does any of the following is guilty of a crime subject to punishment by banishment, revocation of citizenship, any combination of civil disabilities and any other authorized punishments:

FURTHERMORE, the section Lexh.A.17 shall be struck from the law, and all subsequent sections and subsections renumbered sequentially.

FURTHERMORE, the subsubsubsection Lexh.D.2.6.5 shall be struck from the law, and all subsequent sections and subsections renumbered sequentially.

FURTHERMORE, the subsubsubsubsections Lexh.D.2.8.2.8-10 shall be struck from the law, and all subsequent sections and subsections renumbered sequentially.

FURTHERMORE, the section Lexh.D.5 shall be struck from the law, and all subsequent sections and subsections renumbered sequentially.

Quote2. The list of public holidays recognised and observed by the government is as follows:

2.1. Feb 28-Mar 1: Ziuas dal Anavatan - Combines Landmark, Culture, and Cestour Days into a multi-day festival leading into Berber Heritage Month. It is a celebration of all things Talossan, with a special emphasis on the special relationship all Talossans have to the Greater Talossan Area. On leap years, Feb 29th should be marked by the staging (digital or otherwise) of a Talossan Opera.
2.2. April 20: Reunision Day - Celebrates the healing of the great National Schism, and the history of the Talossan Republic of 2004-2012.
2.3. May 1: Flag Day - recalls the theft of the national flag in 1984. In true Talossan fashion, this day should be spent NOT displaying the flag, to encourage meditation on national symbols and Talossanity in general.
2.4. 20 April. Reunision Day. Commemorating the royal proclamation of Reunision and the end of the National Schism.
2.5. 1 June. Republic Day. Commemorating the foundation of the Talossan Republic as a day to honour democracy and the popular will, for both Republican and Monarchist traditions.

By golf scoring, I've won by a landslide.

For the first time in years I fixed a favorite Eastern European winter soup called borscht. It has beef, beets, cabbage, potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, and celery. And I like to top it with sour cream and dill and have a side of rye bread. It is a soup that takes a few hours to complete and while it is worth it I now know why I only make this occasionally. Recipe was from The Joy of Cooking.

RESULTS
1. Me - 190
2. AD - 180
3. Breneir - 179
4. Miestra - 177
5. Iac - 66
