Did you know that the Pullman Strike in May 1894 resulted in the death of 13 strikers? Following the deaths at the hands of the U.S. military and U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with the labor movement as a top political priority. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike.

I should have went to bed nut this was actually interesting.

I just could not get going today. I got up and watered, this took longer than normal as we are trying to keep some vegetation alive around the house. I could not get started on another outside thing nor a inside thing for that matter. I did make some food and and try to work on the job app. The only thing that I got done was the food. I did get to visit with Susan when she came home. I unfortunately felt guilty for not getting anything going.
I hope I can get off my lazy ass and get some things done here tomorrow.
The beef is not ready until next weekend so I do not need to go pick it up.
I guess I will go play a game and then go to bed. Up at 6 AM you know as I do not want to waste these precious days off. 🙂
