The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged inmilar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingman's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Somewhere in Texas, a village is STILL missing its' idiot(s), but I am not going to get started with that again today. What you are reading here is a kinder, gentler Billy Bob, and no harshness shall come out of his mouth. I am not sure how long I can do this, but we shall see.
Somewhere close by they are getting some rain, but so far it has not been over us. Jody and I went into Round Rock earlier this afternoon and had dinner at Fire Bowl. It rained great big drops of rain for about ten minutes, but there was not a drop here at the house. We can see the rain falling all around us, but so far nothing for us. There is still time, so we are keeping our fingers crossed.I did very little today except take naps and then take another nap. Nothing wrong with that. I have a feeling I will leave early in the morning and play catch-up in the office for a while. It should be a full day in the office, Wednesday night I have a dinner to attend, Thursday will be busy and Friday morning will be pretty full. Friday afternoon I will head to Dallas for five days, and that should be a good conference.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, RAIN ALL AROUND, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
