Does the title of this post sound familiar? Those of you who remember the Mamas and Papas song, “California Dreaming” will recognize it as part of the lyrics. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in America.

Hey, everyone. Today is Labor Day here in America, a holiday originally created to celebrate America's workforce. In more recent years, it's more of an "End of Summer" event.
