This post ran first on Labor Day 2015 and every Labor Day after that. I thought it was pretty good advice, so here it is again.
***
In honor of Labor Day, I’ve decided to boil the top ten list down to the most essential items. Let’s all remember those who make our lives easier and more pleasant. Of course, the remembrance includes us authors.
Top Ten Things Not to Do on Labor Day
10 through 1
On Labor Day, have fun, but do not drink and drive. If you do, at best, you are a fool. At worst, you could hurt or kill an innocent person, not to mention your guilty self.
Happy Labor Day, all.
Good message, John. And since a lot of people won’t listen to you, I’m going stay home. Enjoy the day.

Happy Labor Day, John! I hope people heed your advice not to drink and drive, and that includes drinking and boating, which has also resulted in fatalities in our region.

Good message, John. Labor Day here means a continuation of the horrible heat we’ve had this summer, although today is really nice, a good break. Let it snow!

I’d have preferred to NOT go into the office but there were a few annoying things to take care of so I drove into town, worked from 9 ish to almost 2 – enough to claim an extra day down the line…

That is certainly important advice. About the polar bear cartoon. We had 101 degrees this afternoon. Since I am originally from Sweden I don’t that is cold. Anyway, we had a goo labor day. We had a barbque and rested. I hope you had a good labor day.
