I live in Maryland, but very close to the Delaware line, and I have
lots of family in Virginia. I may want to be reminded of holidays or
observances in three states. Unless I'm mistaken, the "automatically
pull" configuration would pull the national holidays in three times,
would it not?

And now you've got me thinking I should split my holiday.rem file up.
When I started, I used the one you shipped, and added new ones as the
whim caught me. I've got national holidays like Easter and Christmas
in with state holidays like Maryland Day and Preakness and oddball
observances like National Nothing Day (January 16) and National Short
Girl Appreciation Day (December 21) and even an Armenian holiday
(Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, April 24, because a friend's
mother is from Armenia and it matters to her). My holiday.rem file is
kind of a mess, even with it divided into sections and with vim's fold
markers.

I needed a new project. :D
