I'll be at the rally in Montpelier VT tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping that the mercury cracks 0, but it's not likely.   Boy Doug R, I wish I could walk two miles here these days. Usually it's been 0 or below, and by the time I make the 1/2 mile walk to work my nose is falling off.

As for why I am marching, well, my buddy Joel who I've known since we used to go fishing when we were five, has been called up, and to me it seems to be mainly about oil, not weapons. If we were serious about weapons, we wouldn't still be sellin' them to the highest bidders all around the world. When will we ever learn?

I was very upset about the twin towers, and am upset when Americans are killed. I just am not entirely sure I value american lives over the lives of other folks in other places, particularly when those lives are taken for fruit, oil, cheap labor or the profit of some weapons manufacturer. So, I'll be out there in my silk long underwear, parka, hat, scarf, mittens, wooly socks, sorrel boots, heavy jeans . . . .
