Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!

If you are from the U.S., chill. You didn’t party so hard over the weekend that you blacked out for a few months. Our Labor Day is in September. In the U.S. today is May Day (as it is in Japan and a few other countries). It is also Save the Rhino Day in the U.S., in case you forgot to send cards. And if you are in Hawaii, it’s Lei Day.

For a lot of the rest of the world, like in France and Thailand, today is Labor Day. And for just about as many countries (including Taiwan and the Netherlands) it’s Labour Day. In Vietnam it’s International Labor Day. In Mexico it’s Día del Trabajo. And in Australia it is Labor Day but only in Queensland and the Northern Territories. Spain and Burma have gone with Worker’s Day as their holiday today, just to be different. Oh, and while it is Labor Day in Thailand, it is also Mid Year Day, which is odd since regardless of which of the three New Year’s the Thai celebrate that you use to calculate, none reach the mid-year point at the beginning of May. I’m not sure which of the two holidays the banks close in honor of, but they do, so consider yourself warned.

Almost the entire planet celebrates today but no one can agree what the holiday should be called. Hey, but any reason to party, ya know? Regardless of the mass confusion over who or what is being honored today, I’m going with the blue collar worker thingy ‘cuz the naked Rhino pix just didn’t do a thing for me. And since I can’t spend the day with the Brothers Caz, I’ll throw in a small salute to Lei Day too.

Hope wherever you are and whatever you decide to call it y’all have a wonderful celebration. And if you managed to not kill a Rhino today I thank you on behalf of my countrymen.
