More Than Just a Day to BBQ


"Labor Day", a US national holiday since 1894, is actually more than just a benchmark as the end of summer, the last day of wearing white clothes without scorn by snotty fashionistas, or a great excuse for a BBQ.   Check it out here at the History.com site or here at the US Department of Labor site, to name just a couple.  While I'm not a big fan of labor unions today, they certainly did a job at the turn of the century (no, I mean the century before this one) for workers all over the US.  Take a minute to learn something about it, eh?

And have an enjoyable BBQ on your day off, wearing white shoes while enjoying the last day of summer!
