Labor Day is related to the Haymarket Riot Memorial, especially if one squints a bit. Which reminds me, Richard Linklater is supposedly working on a film about the riot - I hope they film in Chicago and not in some sound stage in South Austin.
anyway, we plan on slacking ‘till Tuesday mostly, also discovered the Movable Type bug that was driving me crazy (underscore vs. dash - and links to pages that don’t exist). Fix forthcoming, hopefully.
