it had better not snow

 

1. I woke up at 3:30 am MST and it was 44 deg. F.  Winter is going to hit like a hammer this year and be a bitch.  People heading for the high country this weekend were told to be ready for snow.  I don’t think any fell but the conditions were right.

3. Labor day tribute from our own Calvin Coolidge circa 1924:

   “You come here as representative Americans. You are true representatives. I cannot think of anything characteristically American that was not produced by toil. I cannot think of any American man or woman preeminent in the history of our Nation who did not reach their place through toil. I cannot think of anything that represents the American people as a whole so adequately as honest work. We perform different tasks, but the spirit is the same. We are proud of work and ashamed of idleness. With us there is no task which is menial, no service which is degrading. All work is ennobling and all workers are ennobled.”

4. Rich ... Much thanks for that. Ashamed to admit I had not read that before now. Of course, as Drew has pointed out more than once over time, not all Americans have that view anymore, and few in Europe as well.

5. No one can read or know all of any topic of history P man, not even our Buddy Turtler.
   Your Welcome.
   Here these words are appreciated but, and just to make the point, If I wanted to be mocked I would have posted this over at the Daily Kos.
   I can only imagine what Neo Marxist puke they are spouting there for labor day.
