Long Weekend; Short Name

Here it is: Monday of a long, holiday weekend. It reminds me of how long Los Angeles' full name is: "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Poriuncula."

Here's a Nerdism for you: it can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size, "LA." Gotta love that short name on a long weekend!

Actually, let me enhance the original by 1.8%: It's "Porciuncula." I realize that the missing letter was probably a typo, but math nerds everywhere are digesting their stomach linings over the percentages!

Or maybe not.
