Labor Day

Hope you all enjoy the holiday for all of us working stiffs. For those of you who have to work today, you have my sympathy. It's been a federal holiday since 1894, signed into law by President Cleveland right after the troops he sent to end the Pullman strike ended with thirteen dead workers. Besides being the holiday for the working man, and woman of course, it also signifies the end of summer and the beginning of football season. My school's team has already lost three games and are looking at going 0-10 on the season. So far their opponents have scored 146 points to the home team's 6. In this case it would probably be better if it were the end of the season, rather than the beginning.

Shop Teacher Bob was also born on Labor Day, with this birthday being #60. I'm not old as dirt, but I do remember when it was new. We had a nice little celebration on Saturday at the boxing club. Check out the DBC post here.

Enjoy your day.
