Divinipotent About Those Who Labor on Labor Day

"Make yourself necessary to somebody."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

While most of us relax with friends and family, Labor Day will be just another working day for police, firefighters, soldiers, farmers, foodworkers, doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and others who handle our emergencies and provide for our daily survival. Here's to them, and to those searching for work.

"Labor Day. A calendaric conundrum. A day we celebrate what it is we do for a living by taking the day off from work. That is so us."
~ Will Durst

Divinipotent About Sunday Drivers

"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a maniac?"
~ George Carlin

Today, wherever the sun is shining, people will climb into their cars for a leisurely drive to anywhere, only to be surrounded by road-ragers, tailgaters, zigzaggers, weaving drunks, marathon talkers and texters. Some will have the sense to take the slow lane.

“Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then returning home, wondering why the hell you went.”
~ John Updike

Divinipotent About Lazy Days

Today millions of people will have the time to do exactly what they've been wanting to do or needing to do; for many, that will mean doing nothing at all.

"Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired."
~ Jules Renard

“You can't imagine what a pleasure this complete laziness is to me: not a thought in my brain — you might send a ball rolling through it!”
~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
