Labor Day Is My Day Off

Well today’s Labor Day. It used to be a favored day if I was working where it was a paid holiday. I usually worked Mondays so it was double pay, rare indeed for food service workers. I was a professional cook. So today I’m going to take off to read more of the present book I’m reading, “The Culture of Make Believe” by Derrick Jensen. A 600 page opus, plus notes and index. There really isn’t any news worth mentioning as holidays are usually news-light anyway. So reading a big book such as this takes time so I’ll start reading and hour or so earlier today. Peace The Ol’ Hippy

P.S. I did post short pieces on Caitlin Johnstone and RHennerley
