The Toll Lane on 394 is a Joke

May 28th, 2005

Trolling in the toll lane, in the same old jam
If 394 as a whole does not move more efficiently, then the wrong strategy has been implemented.
Amen, brother.
This is what drives me so insane about highway planning. What is the root problem? Too many people trying to go one direction. Solution, less cars! Definitely not… “make [...]

Abuse Week - Behind Bush’s latest assault on the press. By Jacob Weisberg
Newsweek hardly bears sole responsibility for rioting deaths in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which were fomented by anti-American agitators and reflect both a pathological religious fanaticism and anger over many other issues.

Living Green Expo

May 1st, 2005

From Dome houses to biodiesel, fair trade coffee to compost bins, we saw it all at the Living Green Expo today.
There were quite a few people there, and less hippies than you would expect! Lots of normal looking folks just seeing what they could do in their homes and lives for the environment.
