Labor Day, a Holiday named after Labor, yet designed to Avoid actually doing any Labor.
I do enjoy this little holiday even though I seldom participate in the national goal of avoiding all work on this day.
I like that it is the transition from the hot summer days to the start of our fall season.
A time when people are thinking about getting back to school.
A time when people are thinking about their hunting land, and of course hiring a Forester.
A time for preparing for the cold winter that will be here soon with lots of snow and frozen ground, ideal for fully enjoying all of the best of the NorthWoods.
I have always thought that it was kind of funny that we spend so much time celebrating a holiday designed for laborers when most of us do not really do that much labor, we are now a white collar country that farms it’s labor type jobs out to other countries.
We do have some labor left in our country, the service workers, like the folks who are working this weekend to make sure that those who are taking the weekend off from their white collar jobs have a comfortable vacation.
My advice, turn on your phones, celebrate Labor Day by doing some work, and sell a few homes while your competition snoozes on the beach!
