Labor Day Lessons

It was 10 years ago today that I was sitting in a bar and grill in Florissant, Missouri, having some post-summer chill time with my co-workers from Camp Mo-Val. While we were all eating, drinking and being merry, the TV flashed from a Cardinals game to the footage of the car crash that took Princess Diana’s life. Later, we would learn that alcohol, speed and Princess Di’s lack of seat belt use would be the main factors that caused her demise.

It’s fitting we keep this in mind at the beginning of the Labor Day weekend. As you’re headed out on the roadways, buckle up, keep your speed in the legal range and please, please hand the keys to someone sober if you’ve had a few cold ones while out on the lake. Enjoy Labor Day, friends, and stay safe this weekend!
