Welcome

Welcome to my writings or rants or whatever. Primarily these pages contain content of particular relevance to people in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

There are some links on the right which people in Saint Paul might find helpful.

If you feel inspired enough to publicly [although the particular public is not very big] comment on anything I have written, a place is provided. PLEASE GIVE ME A NAME OF YOUR CHOICE [as long as you don't use somebody else's] AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD [to help give identity and establish perspective]. I reserve the right to continue to delete as I see fair and proper.

Leap Year

Tomorrow is the day that only comes quadrennially, February 29th.

Traditionally it was when single women were allowed to propose to the men of their choice, a precursor to Sadie Hawkins Day. I doubt if anybody even takes Sadie Hawkins Day seriously now.

And it is a day when various media will have stories on people who are sixty having their fifteenth birthday [or other similar numbers in a four-to-one ratio].

But you never see what may be the real magic of the day:

It is the wage earner’s and tenant's day of revenge. Wage earners will be paid. Salaried employees work for free. Tenants who rent by the month or year get a day of occupancy free.

So if you work for a wage, smile when you see your salaried boss tomorrow.
