About Me
- Name: buZ blurr
- Location: Surrealville, Principality of buZ, United States
I'm a retired railroad man who indulged in the folk art tradition of making chalk drawings on the railcars as an announcement of presence, and diversion from boredom. Although against the rules of the railroad, it was a common enough practice by the employees and hobos, by ignoring enforcement it was de facto tacit approval, for I dispatched drawings for 32 years of my 41 years of employment without interference. The initial purpose of this blog is to record the language used in my frequent boxcar icon dispatches.

I appropriated that moniker when I retired Sept 1st, 2003. When the railroad pulled off all the jobs in my hometown yard, immediately following the Supreme Court deciding the winner of 2000 election in January 2001, I finished my career of 41 years on a wretched local on the Cotton Belt. The pre-Xmas ice storm of 2000 had deposited plenty of limbs from the right-of-way trees, and I lived up to my childhood name by piling the 'Brush' in mounds at meeting points returning to our terminal against the opposite directional traffic. Cotton Belt M of W employees referred to the brushpile builder as 'Stickman'.
