Something to think about on Labo(u)r Day

Having a good long weekend ? Trying to squeeze in as much as you can before Summer is but a memory ? Here too.

But in the midst of all the activity perhaps it is appropriate that we pause to contemplate why we have the day off.

More than the "Unofficial End of Summer" and the Jerry Lewis Telethon, there is a reason for the holiday.

Many sacrificed dearly - some with their lives to gain rights that most these days take for granted. Justice did not always come according to notions of common sense or fairness.

Just something to think about.

Gotta go before I burn the food on the grill.
