I Forgot How Awful Winters Are and How Delightful Summers Are

|

There are some pretty hot and sticky days in the summer in Upstate New York. Some days in the are dog-gone hot, sticky, and pretty miserable, if you have to work outdoors or spend any significant time outdoors.

The reality is even on the hottest days, it really isn’t that bad in the shade, especially not out in the country or in the Adirondacks — or as soon as the sunsets.

Especially not compared to those bleak, long winters.

I really like summer.

Labor Day

|

Today is Labor Day, the day we celebrate the many works done by organised labor, from the great construction projects of our day, to the people who clean the floors in the offices, to the people who work at the grocery stores.

Most people either get Labor Day off as a paid holiday or are compensated extra for working on Labor Day. Regardless, it’s a day to celebrate their labor and to celebrate ours. We all do productive things to make our world a better place, even if we can’t always see the important role of our own person actions in the grand scheme of things.

Enjoy your holiday, be safe, and look forward to getting back to work tomorrow.
