August 31, 2023 6:50am CST
Summer is almost over and what better way to end it than with a beach day! Today is my Friday since I took tomorrow off and wont be back in the office until next Tuesday. My wife is also off this weekend so we decided to book an Airbnb in Rhode Island to enjoy one last beach day before summer is over. I'm just glad its going to be 89, 90 Sunday-Monday, Cant wait for my mini vacay! What's up with you guys? Any plans for Labor day weekend?

I am from Philly Back in the 1980s, I went to college in New Hampshire. After college, one of my roommates was from Rhode Island. One 4th of July weekend, we all went to his dad's place on the bay. It was the best fireworks display I have ever seen in my life. I hate fireworks, but I love Rhode Island beaches. Years later, I discovered that my 10th great-grandfather, William Freeborn was among the 23 Christian dissidents who signed the Portsmouth Compact after being banished (along with Anne Hutchinson) from Massachusetts Bay.

It's not Labor Day here in Europe, so this coming weekend is a normal weekend. Our Labor Day in Europe is the 1st of May.

I live in the UK and we don't have Labour Day. And we spell it differently too!

No Labor day? How do they honor the working class in the UK?

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I have no idea, I don't know that they do. Ask the UK government!

That sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you and your wife. I know you’ll be bound to have a good time. I don’t plan on doing anything for Labor Day, myself.
