Car Less Brit

river laker ↘↖

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.

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.
