I'd eat the hell out of a potato.

Interesting facts about labor day.  It may be the only thing Grover Cleveland will be known for besides his pseudo-Charlie Brown/ Goodtimes Blacksploitation-like moniker.  Anyway, he and the federales made it an official holiday after government forces killed several striking union members.

So nothing says "I'm sorry" like potato salad and a day off, right?  So enjoy it.  Turn on the radio and listen to your favorite stations top one thousand tracks of all time.  Eat some ice-cream and contemplate the fact that no society exists where someone doesn't have to work there ass off to make it.

When I was kid I loved going to a potluck and finding a box of KFC or Pizza Chain.  But, now, come on, make an effort.  Make something.  Make Potato salad.
