Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Labor Day


As you enjoy your cookout on your day off, don't forget who brought you this holiday and why it exists:

 The first Labor Day in 1882 was hardly a national holiday.  To participate, workers had to strike and miss a day's pay.
