It's Labor Day...AND...

   OK. Here the scoop!
   This is Labor Day. It always falls on
the first Monday in September. It's the
unofficial end to summer. It used to be
the day after which schools reopened
for the Fall semester.
    Somewhere along the way that began
to change.
    The fear of having less than the
required 180 days of school prompted
many districts to begin their year before
Labor Day. So those students return.....
study for 2 or 3 days, then take 3 or 4
days off to observe Labor Day! Go
figure!
    Anyhow...while the first Monday in
September is always Labor Day....Labor
Day is not always observed on
September 5th.
    That date is set aside for two other
'special' observances.
    The 5th. of September is, for instance,
"Cheese Pizza Day!"  While some have
referred to it as a 'National Holiday' there
is no evidence of any congressional records
or Presidential proclamations supporting
that claim.
   What have they been doing?
   It seems a safe assumption to celebrate
the day by ordering or making a Cheese
Pizza.
   But if you're ordering ....don't count on
it coming on time!
   You see September 5th is also "Be Late
For Something Day!"
   According to the website 'holidayinsights.com'
it's a great day to be a procrastinator!
   Nobody seems to know who came up with
this special day. We're still waiting to hear
from the person or persons responsible. They're
just running a little late!
   Maybe they stopped for a Cheese Pizza!
   Anyway here's hoping your Cheese Pizza-Be
Late For Something-Labor Day is happy and that
all your NEWS is good! 



 Many
schools now reopen before Labor Day.
    That, of course, makes it tough for
resorts and amusement parks to get
the labor they need to finish their
seasons!
