What a difference time makes. We saw 95 degrees on Friday with very high humidity. Yesterday, Labor Day, I wore a sweater as we warmed to the mid-60s. It was wonderful to open the windows and air out this place PLUS how wonderful not to hear the air kicking on and off all day. The meter slowed down.
Labor Day. Parades (even allowing Republicans to participate), grilling, family and friends.
This holiday has a long history going way back to the 1880s. It was celebrate on May 1 or May Day for a while. It has its roots in the AFL and the Socialism Party. In Europe labor and socialism still celebrate on May Day.
Shocked that the AFL is tied to socialism? I set out the challenge to you. Dig back into time and find the truth.
Of course, now we celebrate the three-day holiday grilling, waving the flag and mourning the end of summer.
'til later
