Did laundry, folded and put away everything, all floors were vacuumed,
tiles mopped. Both bathrooms cleaned complete, kitchen cleaned,
appliances polished, trash taken out, clean sheets on the bed.
Oh, wait, the cleaning ladies did that. I played on the computer and
paid them when they were done.

the vegetables to "cook down" or "reduce" (there has to be a

As is most of the cleaning, landscape, construction, farming. Florida could not exist without them.
I needed some help about six years ago and found a local business. Sometimes I get a different person, but all do an excellent job. Never raised the price, but I just started paying more twice.

My trash gets picked up on MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Juneteenth
(I'm suprised Trump is keeping that one), and Veterans' Day. The
local municipality contracts with a private hauler, which doesn't
feel the need to observe those federal holidays. We don't have
any state holidays that aren't also federal holidays.

Never met a Cuban in this area that I was aware of. Most are in the
southern part of the state. There are close to 2 million Cuban
Americans in the state, Miami being the biggest concentration at 60% of
the population. .

Trash and recycle guys are all city employees and the city
honors all federal holidays.
People in this area have to hire private trash pickup. No city or
county trash pickup. The major outfits (Republic Waste, Waste
Management, Sunshine, etc.) do *not* pick up on holidays. A local
outfit does pick up on holidays and charges a hell of a lot less for the service. Guess which one I use? ;)

A lot of school systems fold it into their "spring break". For
a while the company I worked for had a Catholic CEO who made it
a holiday for us. His successor stopped that and gave it to us
around one of the summer holidays (late May, early July, or
early September), resulting in a three-day weekend. Most people
deemed that more useful.

When I was a kid we had Easter vacation. We had Good Friday off and
working people had Easter Monday free. Students had the whole week off. Somewhere along they way it changed. Easter is a long weekend and
students now have a March break instead of Easter.

Except for Thanksgiving and Christmas, most holidays are seen as
prime retailing opportunities. Banks and the government are closed,

I don't really see much the point of paid holidays if they are just
going to be retail sale events. Banks, major businesses and government offices shut down for the day and everyone goes out shopping, so the
lowest paid sector of the economy end up having to go to work. Nuts to
that. If it is a statutory holiday everyone should have the day off.
We observed Family Day on Monday. That is a relatively new holiday and I
was surprised to see that just about everything was closed including
grocery stores. Even my local corner coffee shop was closed.

If I ran the world we would be back to the Blue Law Days when everything
was closed on Sunday. No one makes any more money because stores are
open one more day. Sunday used to be a common day off when friends and family could get together.

You have different garbage collection companies collecting garbage in
the same street? That sounds insane.
Free enterprise. No central planning.
Some places also have more than one electric utility providing
power, using the same transmission lines.
We have that with electricity and Internet too. But they don't have to
send trucks and people here to do their thing.
I suppose if it were inefficient, the market would take care of that.

Supermarket used to be closed but now it is the busiest day of the week.
We did our best. Saturday was the day for work around the house

In some areas, retailers would close at noon on Wednesday too. That

A lot of school systems fold it into their "spring break". For
a while the company I worked for had a Catholic CEO who made it
a holiday for us. His successor stopped that and gave it to us
around one of the summer holidays (late May, early July, or
early September), resulting in a three-day weekend. Most people
deemed that more useful.

We were not allowed to work on Sundays, and my parents were not
religious. Sunday was usually spent visiting my grandparents or aunts
and uncles. Occasionally we would drive to my father's home town about
40 miles away.
I don't remember exactly when we started opening. It was a hot issue. We
live close to the US border and NY allowed Sunday opening so people from southern Ontario were flocking over the border to shop. There were definitely better prices and selection over there and the exchange rate
was low. Retailers complained that they were losing too much business to
the Americans so the allowed Sunday shopping. Stores and malls are
pretty busy on Sundays. It's all the people who would have come in the
middle of the week so there is basically the same costs for staff and utilities each day for seven days to generate the same sales they used
to get in 6.

You could go a long way to solving the problem by going after the people
who are bringing them in and those who are employing illegal workers.
Huge fines would counteract the appeal of low wages being paid.

local municipality contracts with a private hauler, which doesn't
feel the need to observe those federal holidays. We don't have
any state holidays that aren't also federal holidays.
I don't get it. Ours is delayed a day and the pickup people have
to work Saturday. I don't know if they get paid extra for it but
the work is the same.
I tried several different trash pickup services over the years and
they always promised next day after a holiday pickup but they never
did show up the next day. Or even necessarily that week. Republic
Waste, Waste Management, Sunshine Trash Services.
I finally found a local service that not only picks up on holidays
but charges less for their weekly service.
It's not that I begrudge anyone taking a holiday off. Take the day
off! But don't promise you'll pick up a day later and still charge
me for not doing it. Meanwhile, the trash piles up and you don't
show up until the next week maybe? I am so happy I found a locally
based service trash pickup service that actually does what they say
they will do.

Just like 90% of you Canuks do.
But that's not because they want to be close to us. It's just too
goddamn cold if they go farther north, away from the border.
When was the last time you were in Canada?

You are a prick!

26 pints of mirepoix plus 1/4 pint to see if it would seal.
which it did.
5 pounds diced sweet onions
2 1/2 pounds diced carrots
2 1/2 pounds diced celery
20 quart stock pot. veggies and cold water added to fill 1 inch
from the top. after bringing it to a simmer it took 1 hour for
the vegetables to "cook down" or "reduce" (there has to be a
proper culinary term for that and i can't find it) and give up
their juices. let it simmer another 30 minutes. removed solids,
strained, hot filled jars, processed for 30 minutes in the
pressure canner plus heat up and cool down. my canner holds 18
regular mouth pints so two batches.
