In my little town of Olympia, Washington, Labor Day means Harbor Days! The annual festival brings tugboats from all along the West Coast. It's a weekend of fun climaxed by the annual Tugboat Races in Budd Inlet.
Yesterday and this morning; a small pod of Orca Whales were observed in our bay as well. At the bridge over 4th Avenue, the returning salmon will be thick as they enter Capitol Lake and on to the Deschutes River to spawn.
We will be focused on the enjoyment of these events and we hope you will also find happiness and warmth this long weekend.
Never forget the meaning of Labor Day. As so many people suffer in our country and many others around the world; let's send our best prayers to them. May those who are without a job be blessed with strength to carry on and begin anew!
While we are struggling with the results of the destructive side of capitalism which has caused these current difficulties; let us not forget that life is about balance. Balance for all humans....A great country does not succeed by leaving its people without the means to fulfill their hopes and dreams!
My strongest and deepest prayers go out to you that are hurting!
