Another Holiday Weekend!



This is the beginning of what many Americans call the last weekend of the summer.
But we all know that fall doesn't actually start yet here in this hemisphere for about three weeks.
"September 22, 10:29 P.M. EDT the Fall Equinox" to be exact, Thanks to NASA http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-seasons


Labor Day on the other hand is celebrated in different countries at different times of the year.
Ten countries throughout the world celebrate the holiday.

 Bahamas June 7, in commemoration of a significant workers' strike that began on that day in 1942.

Lebanon Labour Day is celebrated on May 1. It is one of the 16 public holidays celebrated annually in the country.
New Zealand Labour Day is a public holiday held on the fourth Monday in October. Its origins are traced back to the eight-hour working day movement that arose in the newly founded Wellington colony in 1840, primarily because of carpenter Samuel Parnell's refusal to work more than eight hours a day.
Trinidad and Tobago Labour Day is celebrated every June 19. This holiday was proposed in 1973[6] to be commemorated on the anniversary of the 1937 Butler labour riots.
United States In the United States, Labor Day is a federal holiday observed on the first Monday of September. It is customarily viewed as the end of the summer vacation season.[7] Many schools open for the year on the day after Labor Day.[8] The holiday is shared with Canada, where it is known as Labour Day.
And so we are not alone here in the USA, maybe on our chosen date, but not on the fact we honor our laborers by giving them a time to enjoy the fruits of their labor!

Now we know, or maybe you all did already but then now I know too?

Any-who on this one of the busiest and fun holiday weekend here in the USA, please enjoy it all and be safe on the roads. If you drink find someone who doesn’t to drive you home call triple A who does usually provide free towing and delivery of you safely to your home.

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
