Re-jacketing

Jacket collar buttons

Festival for workers

Bolt industrial night

So, Labor Day in the US of A dates back to the 1880s. Today, the gains in labor conditions and workers’ rights during the interim seem…like a given; they actually represent a huge shift in top-down attitudes and governmental policy. Still, I’ve worked several Labor Days, but not this one—not punched-in work, anyway.

We got wild and opened the PAMA this evening to celebrate…. It’s too yummy to just keep around, though….
