Doggone it!

In: Uncategorized

Ugh, I’ve been so busy at work. I enjoy what I’m doing at least. And I’ve started getting income to blog HERE, so that’s nice.
I just learned a little lesson about the best laid plans and I thought I would share my frustration/sadness here.
On Friday, the family adopted a dog who came with the name […]

Now that I am finally home and processing the journey, there has been time to catch up on politics and policy through blogs, diaries and video.
When I hit play on Mccain’s ad, the Summer of Love, every other sound in the house and neighborhood faded into a distant hum. Transfixed by the manipulation of […]

Home!

I must say. People in this country can not drive! After 800 miles on the interstate, we came up with a plan. There will be a cell phone lane created on the Interstates. People will pay to drive in them. Said lane will have guard rails on both sides.  The “cell phone tax” will cover […]

Update, week 10

In: Uncategorized

Hey there! I’m trying to use the daylight, as out here, deer like to use the twilight. Best to motor on, but here is a video from yesterday.

I left my camera in Missoula. One thing I’ve learned about Big Sky Country is that nothing ever goes as planned here. So there’s no point stressing out. It was a late start anyways and so I had to stay put once I retrieved the camera. It’s Montana afterall. The deers come out in gangs […]

Challenge for a cause

In: Uncategorized

So I have 250 keychains.
That’s too many to carry around and I have too little time to sell them on an individual basis. But, they’re awesome and you can say you helped support the historical creation of a 22,000 mile Peace sign-the biggest Peace sign to date.
So the challenge is on. Today Scooterville Montana […]

People amaze me

In: Uncategorized

P.E.A.C.E Scooter takes more work than I ever thought it would. Not a bad thing and there’s really no way I could have known exactly what this would be like. Like today, I compiled a list and a letter, to be sent in mass to 1,000 people. I wrote to tell people that this is […]

Calling for support

In: Uncategorized

Greeting friends, I hope there is joy in your lives. If you get the chance, I would love to hear from you. If you want to be removed from this list, let me know. There won’t be many more of these updates….
Most of you probably know that almost a year ago, I set out to […]

It’s a weekend of Patriotism. Do you know your First Amendment? Trust me, Homeland Security lit it on fire and then lit it’s cigar with the little piece of paper. Here it is….

Hey everybody. I trust you are enjoying the long weekend. I personally rushed to make it to Missoula and rushing was hard, with […]

Rest in Peace Ralph

In: Uncategorized

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 […]

Per the windscreen question

In: Uncategorized

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! […]

WALL OF BELIEFS

Add your own...

  • Even during the wrath of the myraid cosmic winds, the attacks by earthly being's desires, or the depths of eminant death and despair, one mind stays perfectly still and bright, this is everlasting peace.
    mindtraining

  • Peace is being left blissfully alone.
    Nayagan

  • Peace
    "Just What It Is"
    Silence,Serenity,Stillness
    of Hate
    Eager to Love
    Accept & Relate
    to Everyone
    without Debate
    Regardless of Race
    Religion & Regulation
    Peace is the Ultimate
    Form of Elation!
    Tammy Tuthill

  • Personal peace is feeling content and happy in the moment. More difficult to obtain is the larger peace, in which everyone is able to feel this way.
    Jeremy

  • Virginia welcomes you and salutes you. How can we get Alix nominated as ABC News 'Person of the Week' ?
    Andy

  • Peace is knowing you finished this inspiring journey safely!
    John A.

  • Peace is the sun rising on the day I see you again.
    Daphne

  • Peace is being here now, paying attention, and knowing that every move, every thought, feeling, action can be a choice toward peace. At the funeral this morning for my neighbor's mom, I saw peace in the loving embraces and tears that brought us all together to celebrate the life of Dorothy. She inspired everyone with her peace and love. Just days before she died, she had a dream and woke to say, over and over, "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

    Thanks, Alix, for asking us to write what is peace. Thanks for riding your scooter all around the country, and for being here now. Beautiful!
    Liz Stanley

  • Peace: absence of violent and hateful conflict. Abundance of love, compassion, and compromise.
    VaVaVroom Denise

  • Peace to me is, simply, empowerment to follow what is in your heart, given by and shared with those around you. It requires mutual trust and respect and selflessness to cultivate and blossom.

    Peace is hard because fully practicing it leaves one vulnerable, and that makes many of us feel uncomforatable. I think that explains a lot of the non-peaceful actions committed in our world. Those who work on behalf of peace rarely achieve what is commonly defined as riches and rewards but, I suspect, earn something far more valuable.

    Peace is not just an act or a state of being but it is also an embodiment. Peace is you, Alix. Thank you for following your heart and sharing it with all of us.
    Rod Bosco

  • Awareness and Intent.
    It seems so easy, but so sloppy and graceless, to live without these things and therefore they become, for me, keys to peace.

    It is with these things in mind (of mind) that Alix has found her peace and the strength to keep it.

    I support her. I support you. You are peace.
    Dana J

  • Peace is opening your mind and heart to change!
    Alix, You must realize that you have signified change in people across the nation,...we have kept you in our thoughts and hopefully if you are ever in our neighborhood you'll stop by....you have not only opened our mind by our heart to peace for everyone. Keep it up and hopefully it ripply in the the individuals thoughts across the nation.

  • I have many long and short definitions for peace. Today, it is each moment that I am so still inside that everything outside of me is a beautiful expression of that which I also am, no matter what. Loving the expression of needs met and unmet and awaiting spirit's prompting as to what my response in each moment shall be.
    Karen Johnson

  • Understanding that amongst the gays, blacks, whites, jews, Muslems, Christians, and other "dividers" in our world are just a bunch of souls doing the best they can to get through another day. It's amazing how many good people you can meet when you make an effort to assist them in that goal instead of being an obstacle.

    I would also say that the minorities of this world, and we are all a minority in some way or form, need to resist the urge to "get back" at the majorities that have suppressed for so long. It disappoints me to say this is just as much of a problem as discrimination from the majority.
    Eric

  • Definition of peace: Actively seeking out the good in each and every person, regardless of their traits and habits you may not understand. I have always felt that if every person thought for THEMSELVES instead of letting a govt, media outlet, religion, or other person or persons think for them, the world would be a better place.

    I learned this first hand. My parents were of the type that if you made less money, you were lazy and if you made more, you were somehow crooked or greedy. If you drove a different type of car than my parents you might be criticized. You can only imagine what my folks think about different races and homosexuality.

    Please understand the hurdle of NOT hating folks like this. I love my parents and fully understand that they are just working with the knowledge they were provided, never having the opportunity to leave the small town and predetermined thoughts that go with the long established community. The best we can do is try to put "dents" in their armor of status quo. My father has met minority friends of mine and has shook the hand of gay men.

    I have no agenda towards this beyond meeting and enjoying as many souls in this world as I can before I check out. Life is too short to hate someone because they might have darker or lighter skin, different musical tastes, homosexuality, etc. I might draw the line at being a Dallas Cowboys fan (JUST KIDDING!!!)
