I now have dates for my trip.

I'd love to meet any local Buffistas who can manage it. Email my profile address or drop by Atlantic Canadians to make plans.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Attention Fanfiction Writers:
I have an ass and a half load of webspace.
It occurs to me, as I finally start setting up my domain and subdomains, that my personal site, while text-heavy, is also image free and likely to stay that way, because I like things that are simple and work in Lynx.
If any of you have a site that you need moved or put somewhere, let me know. First few takers can live under my roof. Profile good. Thanks.

Hey, everyone, if you click here: [link] you'll apparently help fund free mammograms. Seems legit enough. Worth a click-through, anyway.

Anne, is there a hyphen?

Sorry about that. My brain fritzed when I was typing in the link. It should be fixed, now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Rice for Peace
To quote briefly:
In the 1950's, tens of thousands of people sent small bags of rice to President Eisenhower convincing him not to attack China. Now a nationwide effort has been launched to send the same message to President Bush about Iraq. If we are going to send something to Iraq it should be food, not bombs.
Send a half cup of uncooked rice in a plastic bag and padded envelope with the message "Rice for Peace - No War On Iraq" on the outside of the package. [My interpolation - must be padded or in a strong box.]
Mail to:
President George Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington DC 20500
E-mail us your city and state so we can count your message for peace.
RiceForPeace@indra.com
I know there were some objection (mailing a white substance to the President, symbolism unclear) - but I talked to some local activists. First of all a LOT of Peace groups are promoting this. So part of the idea is the overwhelm the White House mail room and force them to pay attention.
And the powers that be are split on this. Whatever Occupant thinks, no President governs alone. It is not just a minority of ordinary folks who don't like this war. A lot of really powerful people don't like it, including a large portion of the most wealthy, some very strong people in the military, a large portion of the Press. The balance is close; I think there is a real chance that public pressure can tip the balance. I'm not saying fifty fifty or anything but real. So I urge people who oppose this war to put aside their misgivings if they can, and send that rice to White House. And I understand that some people who oppose the war see strong objections to this tactic and cannot in good conscience do this.
