Today is Labor Day…and that means no labor! (At least not from 9 to 5 for me!)

A quick Labor Day history summary: (info from wikipedia) * Celebrated on the first Monday of September since the 1880s * Apparently the rest of the world celebrates something similar on May 1. * The US doesn’t do May 1 for a few reasons: ** Initially there were some big riots in early May in 1886. We were afraid a “Mayday” would encourage remembrance and spur future riots ** Now we just can’t change it. I mean, let’s face it, we are America and we are pretty stubburd. Just because the other countries do it is not a good enough reason for us.

Happy Non-Riot Non-Mayday Only in the US Labor Day!
