It’s International Workers Day, AKA May Day. Most of the world takes this day off. In America, most people work just like any
other day. In a sad irony, the Grand Old
Party celebrated International Workers Day by blocking a bill to raise the
minimum wage from an “extravagant” $7.50 an hour.
Baby Boomer: A person born during a baby boom, especially one born in the U.S. between 1946 and 1965. I am a boomer; son of a U.S. soldier and his Italian war bride, back from Europe to make their lives in California. I’ve seen generations of change in culture, society, technology and politics; some good some not. I've witnessed wars both cold and hot. This is my America. A collection of stories, events, nostalgia and commentary, sometimes wry, through the eye of an American Boomer.
