Labor Day Preview

All holidays are great–some more great than others. Ones without implied gift giving/receiving have been my favorite for about as long as I can remember.  Being, even feeling, compelled to gift someone something they may or may not like, use, etc…..that often does little more than collect dust then further clog up our mountainous refuse piles deflates my happy-holiday vibe. 
Labor Day~~ first celebrated in the late 1800s, is one of those complete feel good weekends for me. What’s not to like about a three day weekend with (hopefully) the probability that many will, at bare minimum, give some thought to those who actually perform labor to help make our cities, states and nation great. This’ll be a good one if first impressions are any indicator. Right out of the chute a photo perfect sunrise followed by a walk through the neighborhood and a trip to the dog park.

3.5′ Diamondback, Dead Edition
On the walk yet another critter—-this time a diamondback and by many accounts a perfect one—a dead one. That’s just one more that won’t crawl into someone’s garage or yard. Yup–a good weekend to be sure!
