What do Italian Americans have to do with Columbus day?

While I agree that Columbus was a total piece of shit, based on what I've read about him, Isn't the point of the holiday to celebrate the Western discovery of the Americas?

Classically, the term "discovery" when referring to lands, doesn't just mean being the first to find them. It means being the one to find, document, and retain knowledge of and connection to said lands. By that metric, Columbus(or rather his crew) did discover the Americas, regardless of how shitty he (or they) was otherwise.

Watching the video you posted, your voice sounds perfectly natural. You really should not be self-conscious about it. Anybody making fun of your voice is just a troll who already knows you have kallman's. It really is indistinguishable from any other normal man's voice.

How high off the ground is the deck?

You can drill holes in the deck along where the deck meets the house, then an exterminator with a subterranian injection sprayer can come along with a 4 to 6 foot injection probe and penetrate the ground next to the slab via the access holes you drilled.

If you don't want to have the holes in the deck, you can pull the deck board closest to the wall (or the board ends if they're perpendicular to the wall) and put it back after the treatment.

Source: not an exterminator, but my dad is (35 years exp) and I grew up doing lots of the grunt work. Including sub termites.

That's my point. "Discovery" in this historical context doesn't mean being the first person there. It means being the person to create a permanent connection between the place discovered and the rest of the civilized world.
