Labor Day

May your Labor Day weekend be soaked in beer and bar-b-que sauce, roasted under the sun's sweat oven.




Before we all started sitting in cubicles for seventy hours a week, folks in America worked Hard. Sure, there have always been desk jockeys and ditch diggers. The ratio for either category has been inverted, perhaps.

Back when there were more steel mill workers than individual Wal-Mart locations, they came up with the idea to give those hard toiling folks a day off.

Big business complained about it, of course. They complained about the end of child labor. They paid thugs to burry clubs deep into the skulls of union organizers. Etc.
That sort of frivolity is bad for productivity and profits.

A few folks agreed, though, folks could use a day off.


Anyway, enjoy Labor Day...
