You can NOT upload a file called
Labor Day Card.gifand then call it
LaborDayCard.gif from the forum. It doesn't work that way. You HAVE to rename it BEFORE uploading to rid the spaces from the name. I fixed it.

The pose seems to imitate the famous WWII Norman Rockwell "Rosie the Riveter" war production poster, where Rosie is rolling up her sleeve to get the job (winning the war while asserting women's equality)done.In this version, the worker clenches her right fist to reveal her bicep muscles while rolling up her sleeve with the fingers of the left hand. Were she making the (universal, not just Italian) F-U gesture, the left hand would be clenched in a fist, wouldn't it? But however one chooses to read it, I think the challenging spirit of
labor comes across strongly.

We just recorded our second (since records began) rainless August here (August is normally our monsoon season). We've had about 1/4" so far this year and Lake Mead is now about 65' below normal level but of course we 'Vegans continue to use water at twice the national per capita average. Nevaditude lives!
