What fun: Life in LA today.

Everyone talking about the Rams beating the Cowboys and now we're one win from a Super Bowl appearance.

Pouring rain causing traffic logjams throughout SoCal in a city where the freeways are already impassable on a good day.

Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) teachers go out on strike--the first in 30 years-and walk the picket line leaving the principals and on-site staff to scramble to find replacements (scabs) and find suitable work for those students in attendance.
(PS--I taught for 33 years at an LAUSD middle school, same school where Jordan Farmar and Jeff Fisher went to school. I walked the picket line with some of my former comrades-in-arms today--just like I walked the line in '89, the last teacher strike. (Solidarity Forever!).

Good for you! Keep fighting the good fight. It's telling how little this is covered in the media IMO. They don't care about working people.

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;

Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,

But the union makes us strong.


Now that's all for the politics. Go Rams.

Boy, it sure is great to see that there are folks out there who know the verses to the anthem of the American Labor Movement. We oughta get together one day, watch the Rams and then bring out our guitars and banjos and pick and sing some of the old union hymns. Go Rams--beat the Saints!
