We're celebrating all that we work hard for
11The early observances of Labor Day were not about family or fun, though, they were about improving the quality of life for America's working men and women. That's really what we all should strive to remember - the true meaning of Labor Day. This is the holiday that should remind that what has made our country so great is that we Americans are real workers, dedicated to producing quality products of every type. The work ethic is strong here. We're not afraid of working and, in fact, our citizens are hoping for not only more jobs to be created here, but also to keeping the jobs we have in our communities now. |

Thanks to 'Prof' Powers & Jim Nelson for serving

Dog Days and blue moons
Dog Days and blue moons. As I sit inside our comfortable, air-conditioned den, I am imagining a day that doesn't hit 90 degrees. I tried to reach Wayne Scarbrough at AUB to see what our local record is for days in a row above 90, but was told he has gone to Alaska until mid-October. |
