I'm glad to see Labor Day come, after which, the old fogies like DH and I can vacay around other old fogies in cooler weather and quiet.

Labour Day where I live is Monday 6th October and it is a public holiday. It used to be called "10 hour day" and later "8 hour day", celebrating improvements for working people. These improvements, including the 40 hour working week, were hard won by trade unions.

For most of us Labor Day is the entrance to the fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Christmas season. Like myself, fall is the Holidays and Football. My favorite time of year.

It isn't that way here in the St. Louis area, it's a day, it's all about traffic and where it intends to go. Its insanity on the cement out there.

Yes, I'll be laboring that day. Have to work since 3 people will be off. But, I'll be happy to see cooler temperatures arrive with the shorter daylight days.
