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.

Fifty Years Ago To The Day


"Earthrise," photographed by William Anders from Apollo 8, on December 24, 1968































No one had ever seen an "earthrise" before.  I watched it on a black & white TV in my parents living room.  I remember being mightily impressed.

It was a peaceful moment in an unpeaceful year.

We could could use some of the same right now.  Good luck to us all.
