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 [...]

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 above [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I came across this video while researching organizations that might need the donations I raise this summer. The below video illustrates how our tax dollars could be better spent. I like it because it isn’t an assault on one’s conscience. It’s a short, no nonsense, practical video that offers alternatives to war. Instead of spending [...]

New to me this year, maybe new to you, but something we can put under our belts-the MBI Awards. MBI is working hard to make sure the motorcycle industry is serving the rider’s. You get to cast your vote for various categories: favorite manufacturer, motorcycle, scooter, and more at the Motorcycle Bloggers International Riders Choice [...]

This summer I will complete “The Missing Peace,” which is a 8,000 mile ride to complete an 19,000 mile Peace sign on the U.S. map. This symbol directly acknowledges that however different the climate and culture in America, our future is interconnected and we create the change we wish to see in the world. Last [...]

  Wow, I LOVE this picture. I’m thinking this lady, Jenn Babbcock of Wisconsin, has found the ONE dress I MIGHT possibly wear! Ooh, she’s has such a timeless look too, one that never goes out of style. I wouldn’t know what era this was from without the Obama cues. Obama needs to give this [...]

Hey y’all. You know I’ve got the Peace fire lit under me, but this week the fire has been inside-as I fight against a horrible flu. When not shuffling and hacking my way over to work, I’ve been in bed-thinking, thinking. I need your help, people. Please suggest Peace organizations for me to research. The [...]

I sent this letter out to many people and realized there are readers who might not be on the mailing list, so here it is: The observance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday and legacy was a day of reflection for me. I thought of the time on my journey when I spent my birthday [...]

*****VIDEO AT BOTTOM***** July 15, 2007 was an exciting day, I shot up out of bed and gleefully donned my riding gear. Good ol’ Southern thermostat registered in at 91 degrees. Checking my tire pressure and adding air in full gear provoked some dramatic cussing under the helmet. Even us “peacers” have their moments. 116 [...]
