The Mayor of Almont

I would love to have a mayor that looked so much fun :-)

He looks like the best mayor ever.

well hello there Russ!

great!

Your mayor's a deadhead! ;)

Can we borrow him :-)?

he'd get my vote no problemo!

so do you think he carefully plans his look each morning? stands in front of the mirror and figures out just what will 'go' with the t shirt?

we need more men like this. congratulations on your mayor.

the madness of Almont is so appealing!

Oh please let him run for mayor of London, PLEASE!!!! :D

So, that's where folks from Berkeley, CA retire to!

Thanks, Everyone! Russ is a very nice, interesting and engaging man.

Srose, I think Russ just wears what pleases him. Labor Day weekend is a 3 day party and it was quite warm, so... ;D

E, he's a Michigan native. (I think.) ;)

He looks like a beardy Mr. Greedy from a wierd sixties time warp ( in the nicest possible way) Glad to see someone's mayor gets their hands dirty doing some work! What is labour day exactly?

Thanks, Ali. :) Labor Day: United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the "working man". It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many. Labor Day became a federal holiday by Act of Congress in 1894.

In other words, a long weekend. :D

There's a huge Wiki on Labor Day. Barbecues are prominently mentioned. :)

Keep coming back to this, the guy is just too cool for words!!

Hahahaha. I'll have to tell Russ about this post when I see him. He might like the idea of running for Mayor of London. ;D

Does he ride a Hog? Fab pics : )

ah, so it's like a British bank holiday but designed for workers - cool. The August bank holiday weekend is a very popular equivalent. Generally speaking, i think beer plays a much larger role than bbq's, and going to the seaside is very high on the agenda too. Did you know, that in Britain you are never more than 2 hours from the sea? I ache for the seaside - haven't been since April

Hell yeah, he'd win hands down :D

Jane, I have no idea and I might be a bit afraid to ask! ;D

Ali, you're much closer to the seaside than I am! I miss the ocean terribly. Beer is so much a part of Labor Day weekend it hardly merits a mention. The whole thing is a 3 day party. A *drunk* party.

I survived Labour Day weekend.
It was so strange this morning seeing everyone marching off to work or school, all dressed up and clean.

I survived also. Technically, I think I'm still recuperating. :)

We flew over Bismarck on the way to Santa Barbara - is that far from you?

Is what far, Bismarck or Santa Barbara? Santa Barbara, yes. Bismarck, no. We're about an hour away from Bismarck/Mandan.

Just catching up, this is how all mayors should dress, in fact I will go one step further and say this is how all politicians should dress :)

Hahaha! You know, that's a good idea Maggie. A very good idea! :D
