1. Labor Day—commemorating the unofficial end of summer and the American workers who sadly have seen their wages under Obama totally stagnate. 2. Neither Snow Nor Rain Day—celebrating not the curse of a major drought affecting California but the opening on this day in 1914 of the U.S. Post Office building in New York City on the cornerstone of which was the this inscription-- "Neither snow nor rain not heat nor gloom of night,stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
