    Thankfully, no self respecting drunk would be caught dead in a minivan!

    CHP/LEO presence everywhere I've noticed in my area. Gonna avoid that and drunk jeepers altogether and just ride dirt this weekend.

    Longerfellow - I'll be up Forebay Road in your neck of the woods on Sunday for sure. If you dirtbike, you're invited.

    A hardworking Irish-American named Peter J. McGuire is credited with heading up the effort to create "Labor Day." He was the founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, and he helped work toward the eight hour day and was a driving force toward the creation of the American Federation of Labor.

    It was on May 8, 1882 that the 29-year old McGuire, speaking at a labor meeting in New York, urged Americans to set aside a festive day, between summer’s last official holiday and Thanksgiving, in public tribute to the nation’s toilers and to those before them "who from rude nature have delved and carved the grandeur we behold."

    On September 5, four months later, the first Labor Day was observed in New York. "Few were the workers who got the day off, for employers took an exceedingly dim view, some threatening dismissal to paraders. But over 10,000 people showed up to march along Fifth Ave. with McGuire and other labor leaders to the stirring strains of "Killarney." On that day, picnicking and dancing, as well as speechmaking by McGuire and others set the pattern for Labor Days to come. The idea of a Labor Day holiday spread rapidly, and the Knights of Labor adopted a resolution that the first Monday in September be considered Labor Day and set about having it recognized as a holiday. Colorado and Oregon made it a legal holiday in 1887, and New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts soon followed. On June 28, 1894, a bill passed Congress with little opposition making Labor Day a legal holiday in the union and the territories. By 1923, all the states had fallen into line and Labor Day became legal throughout the country…"

    Let's not forget how this great nation was built, union labor~
