I had little to say today. Just one of those days, I suppose. So I chose a selection of videos that tweaked my interest. I hope at least one tweaks yours.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Today is the 10th Anniversary of Englishman, Jason Lewis’ circumnavigation of the globe using only human power. It took him 13 years to complete the goal using a pedal boat, a bike, roller blades, a kayak and his feet. He survived a crocodile attack, blood poisoning, malaria, being jailed for espionage and being hit by a drunk driver, causing both legs to be broken.
This video is 20 minutes long (just a heads up) but worth it.
