Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Happy Labor Day. When I was a kid Labor Day was the official end of summer and time to go back to school. Now kids have been in school a week already and the significance of Labor Day has been diminished. How ironic the the significance of Labor Day was probably destroyed by a labor union - the Teacher's Union... Good advice... If Hillary Clinton was a Harry Potter character - there's no doubt in my mind that she'd be Delores Umbridge...  The modern Bukowski will Tweet his poetry and go unnoticed. As an aside Modern Bukowski would be a good name for a band or fantasy football team name... The answer to why there is crushed stone along railroad tracks. And all this time I thought it was to make it easy for kids to throw rocks at trains... A person at age 20 should read the top 50 classic novels of all-time and repeat the exercise every 10 years for the rest of their life. It's amazing the wisdom that can be gleamed from the same material from different points in your life...
