Sometimes we forget midst all the hot dogs, hamburgs, family get togethers, and camping that we are really honoring the workers in our country for their dedication and skills.
It is quite sobering that 1 out of 10 people do not have work this year. . . . .

Labor Day

It's Labor Day. The unofficial start of Fall. The apex of my annual angst. My soul still longs to live according to the 4-season calendar, despite having lived in a 2-season environ for 21 years. Here in Florida our 2 seasons are overwhelmingly-swelteringly-swelteringly-hot, and not-so-hot. . . . .
