AI Thread Summary
A user seeks an online 2016 calendar that can be imported into LibreOffice as a text document, featuring dates, days of the week, and holiday annotations. The desired format includes entries like "January 1, 2016 Friday New Year's Day," followed by space for personal notes. The user emphasizes the need for holiday notations, which vary by location, and mentions that while creating a calendar in a spreadsheet and exporting it as a text file is possible, they prefer a ready-made solution to avoid the effort of researching holidays. The discussion also highlights the significance of both U.S. and Mexican holidays in their area, noting that U.S. holidays have legal implications, while Mexican holidays often coincide with local celebrations. Suggestions include using applications like Evernote or OneNote for flexibility, or dedicated software like RedNotebook, though the user remains focused on finding a suitable text document format.

I keep a daily journal and for next year's journal, I'd like to find an online 2016 calendar that could be imported into a word processor (LibreOffice) as a text document so that each day would have date, day of the week, and annotations about holidays. So the document would look like:

January 1, 2016 Friday New Year's Day
...text to be inserted by me ...
January 2, 2016 Saturday
...text to be inserted by me...
January 3, 2016 Sunday

Anyone know of such a calendar?

I want to import the calendar into a text document, not into a spreadsheet.

Except for the holiday notations, you could create this in any good spreadsheet program, and export it as a text file, in about 2 minutes.

Holidays are location dependent. Depending on your location there are usually in the neighbourhood of 20 holidays per year. You could add those by hand in just a few minutes more.
 
You could try applications like Evernote or Onenote, which will give you much more flexibility than a word processor. Or you could try a dedicated software like:

No, I couldn't do that. But I suppose a user of spreadsheets could. The holiday annotations are the only reason that I want to import a calendar. I can type the date,day information as I go along. I want to save myself the effort of looking up the definitions of the holidays.

In my location, the USA holidays have legal significance (e.g. banks being closed) but the Mexican holidays often coincide with local celebrations - e.g. the closing of downtown streets for festivals or parades. So it would be nice to have both annotated.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
