The birthday of the pioneer. One of those days that'll go down in history. We'll soon start to refer to this day as simply 9/20, much like 9/11 or 11/22/63, though for different reasons.

To my fellow pilgrims, as we approach year 2 of the Pioneer, I'd like to humbly misquote our dearly departed Kennedy (speaking of 11/22/63 amiright??), "ask not what the pioneer can do for you. ask what YOU can do for the pioneer". I implore each and every one of us to strive for more, strive for greatness, strive for a community hungry for cutting journalism. WE can be the change we NEED to see. Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell yourself, that the Pioneer is here to stay, and wherever he goes, we will follow.

Let me conclude by saying thank you Pioneer for your great work. In a year I'll be right back here in the comments, but with an additional 500 of my fellow weary travelers, thirsty and hungry for prose of future prosperity. This land is your land, this land is my land, this land is OUR land.

-- A pilgrim
