When we last left our hero, he had survived another weekend in Tuscaloosa, and he was on his way to St. George Island, Florida. Broadwing, the place we called home for a week. The way I’m going to do this part of the trip is that I’m going to hit the highlights tonight, and then provide more [...]

Mr. Gore is at it again… in an interview he says (emphasis mine): I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve [...]

I know that it’s been awhile. My bad. We’re going to break this into three or four parts because, well, I want to. I left Bloomington in the late morning on a Thursday. The plan was to make the jaunt down to Tuscaloosa, party it up, go to graduation on Saturday, and then make my way [...]

I’m currently leaching internet access from a small hotel on the side of highway 98 in Apalachicola — I have no internet and no cell phone access on the Island, but I’ll be back to Bloomington on Saturday or Sunday.
