    Thank you, Sandie. This writeup on the conditions in those mills is a vividly horrible reminder of just how bad things were all around, LESS THAN 100 YEARS AGO.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Labour Day is always a big weekend out here also. Not for the deplorable conditions you've posted (hard to believe how bad it could be) but to honour the hard working people who deserve to be recognized. Last big family gathering for the summer out here.

    My point EXACTLY! You have a family gathering on July 4th, but you KNOW what you are celebrating: Independence Day.

    Remember how far we have come in less than 100 years, remember what we are honoring on this day.
