I was at Bonnaroo last month and as previously reported here, it was awesome. Pearl Jam was the headliner that weekend on Saturday night and rocked Bonnaroo for three hours. I have been a huge Pearl Jam fan since 1991 so it was a thrill to be a part of a crowd of 80,000 rocking and singing along with my favorite band. I purchased the CD of Pearl Jam’s performance that night (since 2000 the band has offered almost all of their live performances for sale or download through their website) and received it in the mail yesterday. Well, I just got done listening to it and got to relive the awesomeness of the show all over again.

I wrote a letter to my Mayor and my City Council this evening with a little push from wecansolveit.org. You are welcome and encouraged to use it as a guide for your own letter. With huge national and global issues, we can't forget that real solutions start locally from the ground up.

Where are all the bicycles?

I don’t get it. Gas is treading at about $4.10 a gallon. Oil is over $140 a barrel. Energy costs are going through the roof. Yesterday, billlaurelMD shared a diary concerning the North pole and the melting polar ice caps. (Santa has recently traded in his sled for water ski’s.) Where is the outrage? Where is the conservation? I see the same amount of drivers on the road today that I did five years ago. As a matter of fact, I ride my bike twenty miles round trip to work, and I am the only bicyclist on the road. Am I in the twilight zone?

On Monday a tragedy happened in my community, Greenville, SC. A beautiful 8 year old girl named Dymia Woody was sexually assaulted and killed. She was found in a closet of an abandoned mobile home. Another child, a fourteen year old boy has been arrested and charged in the case. Below is the story as reported by our local NBC affiliate:

Terry McAuliffe tells CNN that Obama asked Hillary on Friday if he could call Bill. Hillary responded "Absolutley!" McAuliffe said that the two would be speaking shortly but he made it clear that the attention should be on Hillary because she is the political leader in the family now. Okay, but didn't Bill run the country for eight years?

Today my daughter turns eleven.

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that she was born. As a matter of fact, I’ll never forget the day that I found out she had been conceived. November 5th, 1996. Election day. What a day. I was so excited to be voting for the first time and then to find out I was having a child. Actually, that part scared the shit out of me. You see, I hadn’t voted before that day because I wasn’t legally old enough. I had just turned eighteen. Old enough to vote, but way too young to become a father.

I was working on a diary which I will post next week which will explain why Obama can win on both Change and Experience. Real life experience. While doing some research for the piece, I was forced to read John McCain's Wiki for comparisons and I was shocked by some of the statements on the page. None of which are disputed. Let's jump.

I’m getting a little bit (okay, maybe more than a little bit) tired of all the new found love for Hillary Clinton around here. All of a sudden it is not cool to criticize Hillary because we have a helluva lot of her supporters that we need to reach out to. Criticizing Hillary is not the same as criticizing her supporters. To me it seems very disingenuous for all of us to start saying what a great campaign she ran, and how great a candidate she is, and how much work she has done for the people, and blah blah blah. My memory is not as short as some I guess. The following is what I remember about Hillary Clinton, and it's not pretty.

The following is string of emails that I sent to family and friends starting with one that I sent on January 9th, followed by one after the South Carolina primary, concluding with the one that I sent today. Might be a long read, but I wanted to share.

This is a real picture of a guy who got caught expressing his support for Obam(m)a in a unique way (Apperantly after huffing some of the paint he used on the car). The police officers that arrested him could not resist taking the picture first. Don't try this at home!!

I live in South Carolina and like many of you, I am a strong supporter of Senator Obama. I spent many hours on the ground for his campaign in January and will spend many more this summer and fall. I take no shame in the fact that this diary is biased. I want my state, South Carolina, to be a blue state, and I think Senator Obama can make that happen. I’ve done the research and crunched the numbers and I truly believe that Senator Obama can and should win the state of South Carolina in the general election. Phooey, you say....Well read on.
