Tuesday, May 1, 2012 — The following items ran in our “Admiral Fowle’s Piscataqua River Tidal Guide (Not for Navigational Purposes)” for this date:
“1999 — The New Hampshire Gazette resumes regular (fortnightly) publication in Portsmouth.”
“1989 — New Hampshire Secretary of State for Life William Gardner assigns legal ownership of The New Hampshire Gazette to the current editor.”
The Occupy Movement has issued this call for a General Strike today: “We ask you to do one of two things to commemorate this day: Don’t like what you do? Don’t do it. Take one day to do something you love, instead. Love what you do? Do it for free. Take it to the next level, and bring it to the public.”
We are fortunate: we get to do something we love. And we were for the 99 percent even before we snatched the Gazette away from the world’s ninth richest man. So, in solidarity with the 99%, we’re working today.
