That Long Labor Day Weekend

 And therefore summer is over. Labor Day signals the unofficial beginning of fall 2021. I'm not certain as to who, or should that read whom, decided that fall begins on Labor Day. Doesn't really matter all that much. Fall's beginning on Labor Day or the official beginning of fall and that would be the Autumnal Equinox. An equinox happens when our sun is directly over the equator and that is dependent on the north/south tilt of our Earth. So once in the spring and then once in the fall. We're coming up on the fall equinox and that happens days after Labor Day. Just to be specific on the notion. Labor Day was originally invented to celebrate America's working people. You know like coal miners and steel workers and auto workers and workers like that there. The invention of Labor Day had more to do with the political power of unions that anything to do with actual working folk. These days, the Labor Day holiday signals the start of the Christmas holiday shopping season. Of course there is that Halloween holiday shopping crap and then the Thanksgiving Day shopping crap and there you go. So if one happens to live in a part of the America that isn't suffering the ill effects of wildfire and it's accompanying smoke or hurricane damage like the Gulf Coast and then the hurricane damage running up the eastern seaboard, well go out and have yourself a really good time. So with summer being over there's no more 'dancing in the streets'. Just to be specific here. So now, let's shuffle off to the machine art segment of today's holiday weekend edition. 

Wiley Coyote -

Coyote Clan -

a very long time ago and back when I practiced the hunting and killing scenario, I encountered a Coyote a way out in the wilds of Brown's Park. The Coyote was being harassed by a couple of nimrods that were taking great delight in shooting at the Coyote. The nimrods weren't very good shots and they missed the Coyote. Coyote ran up to me and stopped a few yards shy of where I was sitting on a hillside and Coyote asked me, "why do humans kill us?" I didn't have a good answer to the Coyote's question and just sat there stunned. Coyote ran off and down the hillside to get away from the nimrods and from myself that did not have even the semblance of an answer to Coyote's question. So having time to consider being spoken to by a Coyote and considering the disgust I held for the nimrods shooting at the Coyote, I decided it might be time to give up hunting. Which I did and haven't since. Curious no doubt. 😮
