One of those occasions when you take the leap and dance in front of everybody and while dancing think “this may look kinda cool” and then you see the video!

The dance moves are from the musical Oklahoma and the live Celtic hybrid music is from IONA. Larry, a buddy, is the brave soul on stage with me.

It happened at the Virginia Library Association 2009 Annual Conference, Williamsburg, VA.

Packing Heat

hoping to soon find time to edit the new Car Less Brit video: “Packing Heat; a short survival guide for the bike commuter.” Even Ride Solutions, who I thought was my eternal sponsor and $ provider, won’t get near this one.

taxation according to distance from urban centers

wow! kudos to plans to tax according to how far one lives from urban centers to offset the extra infrastructure costs that housing choice incurs for all.

‘doubt plans will gain approval but well done for trying!

Margaret and Emily in Car Less Brit Museum, with an essential tool for road biking above them (artist, Joe Kelley); Margaret riding the bike lane in the museum; and the iron-on patch leaving gift they gave me.

They were guests of mine for a couple of days, leaving today, stopping in Roanoke during a 3 month bike trek from Vermont to New Orleans. They found me through http://warmshowers.org

em and marg were a delight to host
