A Pungent Observation

Remembering some old reporter skills, I took the opportunity to speak with some of those on the boardwalk in the town where I'm surfing attending a very important clergy retreat conference about their "strike" on behalf of...um...the climate or environment or something.  They were a little unclear about it, actually.

Of the teenagers, all eleven to whom I spoke admitted they joined just so they could have a day off of school and, hence, a three-day weekend.  Their teachers encouraged them to do so for the same reason.

Of the adults, none of the fourteen to whom I spoke have jobs, as they were either retired, unemployed, or stay-at-home moms.  It's hard to "strike" when one has no job from which to strike.  Since the moms had their children with them, it looks like they didn't "strike" from being a mom, either.

As long as everyone is having a good time.
