I spent Labor Day weekend at a lake enjoying the beautiful planet we call home. With everything going on in the country right now it felt good to get away and take a break. But it’s also important to recognize the labor of those who came before us, who built the foundations of the society we currently live in. We have some serious problems right now, but what we have achieved could not be possible without the contributions of innumerable others. It is our duty now to make it through these tough times, to make the world better for those who will come after us. Thank you to those working through this pandemic who are already making the world better, making these times a little less tough. Happy Labor Day.
