The first thing I touched this morning was a dead cat. Ralph.

Ralph fell off the ledge today from the 25th floor.
At 5:30 am I woke up to people talking loudly. I asked them to talk in the other room.
I didn’t know they were talking about Ralph. I got up, went to the bathroom. Chad, sitting […]

A couple of blogs ago I mentioned that a strange man in a van tried to get me to stop. Stop for an unknown person, on a road that’s considered dangerous, which runs along the Mexico border.
Despite the fact that most things people say are dangerous turn out to be not as menacing-I was still […]

Hey y’all. Raffle drawing date is extended. I won’t be drawing the winners until the pot reaches at least close to  the amount of the prize.
Contributions jumped up yesterday, so now we are HALFWAY! Yee-haw. Don’t forget, this nice NEW bag was generously donated and Timbuk 2 will ship it directly to you. Run fast […]

Quite frequently I see debate amongst Folks in scooter forums about the pros/cons of having a windscreen. Almost once a day.
Folks, no crosswind has ever outweighed the advantage of having my windscreen. It keeps me safe from wind exhaustion and mostly helps save on gas. And just look out how many bugs it has killed! […]

Burning rubber, I left Jackson at 1pm, but not without a deep look into my Dad’s eyes. It brought chills to my skin.
The drive was estimated by Google to be 5 hours. I added 2 to that, but much to my surprise, reached Hwy 11 in just 3.5 hours! Hwy 11 is in Slidell and […]

Oh I love these raffles! This one wasn’t very active at first, but close to the finishing line a bunch of people entered! Thanks everybody for helping to raise $130 this week. However, this week we have a Timbuk2 messenger bag,donated at $150 value, that scooterists, SUV drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike will LOVE. […]

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Well, here it is Mother’s Day, and mine is far away. Irony has it that I’m actually visiting my father, in Jackson, MS. It’s appropriate-I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on Father’s Day. And I wouldn’t be alive and scooting for Peace without their combined effort to bring me here.
The history […]

Whilst lagging around in Asheville to coordinate a visit with my Aunt later this week, I was able to line up some volunteer dates. Volunteering is something I mentioned doing last year. I studied non profit administration in school and have done a lot of volunteer work. For those of you who are new to […]

Wow, the 24 hr countdown has now started. Although today I have the most incredible list to accomplish-I still owe a report about 4 more LDS. (long distance scooterists)

“PJ is a great fellow. He was the inspiration for what I’m doing scooter-wise. I hope I eventually get to meet him. Thanks, PJ!”

The […]

Just a reminder that there are two days left in the raffle. For a chance to get the goods, hit this link.
I’m excited to draw the names at noon E.S.T on May 1 and will immediately let YOU know if yours was the golden tix. Prizes in my possession will be shipped that day-and then […]

The other two wheel traveler for today’s honorable mention is Matua, of Vespadition. Actually, it is in his honor that the one long distance scooterist a day for two weeks even came about, as I heard him say in an interview that, “there is a reason no one has done this before.” And so I […]

Wow, what is this?
P.E.A.CE tour shirts? Why, you betcha! Proceeds from these go towards the fuel fund and towards the fundraising pot for nonprofit organizations. Basically, purchasing one of these swell designs is helping to fuel many good things. And of course the support is deeply appreciated!
The classy designs are the product of both […]

I’m searching for quotes, at work, for our quote board. I just came across this laughable gem by Ken Olson,
“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.”
- Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977
 I hope that 30 years from now people can’t remember life before their […]

The coolest Easter gift I’ve ever been given-a virtual gift at that. Daphne made these from 700 miles away and sent me the pictures. Take that Easter Bunny!

I’m not a girl who asks for help often, this is a new thing. But, hey, I’ve just been smacked in the head with a realization. Maybe you want to help me. Maybe you aren’t sure if you want to help, but have some time on your hands and think, “Aw, what the heck.”
Great, I […]

 Why not? We have a Department of Defense.
reposted from Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice:

Charlottesville City Council meets at 7 p.m. on Monday March 17 and Monday April 7. On March 17 a group of local high school students will urge the City Council to pass a resolution in support of a bill in Congress […]

Welcome to P.E.A.C.E SCOOTER upgrade, thanks to the help of zeitgeist agency.
More to come, but for now, espressos to make….people awake…

What is the common denominator between those things you ask? I just tucked Audre, the P.E.A.C.E SCOOT, away after a spontaneous winter night ride through Charlottesville. I’m shivering a bit, frozen ovaries I think, typing away while dressed clumsily in about 14 layers.

I don’t have the gloves on, which didn’t work worth a damn anyhow […]

Help support P.E.A.C.E.-share this video with your friends, family, and Peace waging organizations!
I am so happy to present this uber compressed video to you. This is my first real editing venture-trying to get experience for the 2008 trip since there will be more video blogging! It’s a shame that my fancy hi-def files wind up […]
