Labor Day

Today's some kind of American holiday, Labor Day. As a stupid foreigner I asked why they celebrated the day, but nobody seemed to know why. I investigated the matter on Wikipedia and found that it is, not very surprisingly, the American equivalent to what the rest of the world celebrates May 1. However, since Americans usually aren't the ones parading for workers' rights, the celebrations are more likely picnics on the beach. Labor Day marks the end of summer, still I hope to see more sun during the California winter than the Swedish summer...

Tomorrow I'm gonna go to San Francisco for a few days visiting Lovebud and Raingirl. Raingirl's coming back with me to Santa Barbara before she goes to Seattle to study weather...
