1. Happy Labor Day weekend! Fun fact, the rest of the world celebrates Labor Day on May 1 but the US changed to the fall to not be seen as supporting socialism, because of course (eye roll). As Prof. Wikipedia tells us,
Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe. In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative, formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law that he signed in 1894.
2. As this article puts it, it’s a bad time to be a hobbyist who likes to shop overseas. I’ve gotten emails from four different fabric shops that they’re just suspending shipping to the US rather than try to deal with all the tariff mess. Is America great yet? (extreme eye roll)
3. I’m waiting on bids from a couple contractors for the basement finishing. I can only hope that one of them includes a drywall guy in an alien suit:
