Ted Simon's Back in Town . . .

The eponymous Ted Simon is back in town. Check out his latest news on Jupitalia.com - "On the Roller Coaster." A world-traveling writer (most often on a motorcycle) describes his experiences, expresses his opinions, current events. In my opinion (and that of many others), his Jupiter's Travels and other books are some of the best travel writing of our era. But you probably know that, already.

You can hear an interview with Ted on my Miss Adventuring podcast, and another on Brent Miller's Sojourn Chronicles.

Bikers 4 Obama !

Yesterday I was catching up on the news, and got so freaked out by the possibility of a McPain win that I thought about starting a Bikers for Obama group. After a little research, I was extremely happy to see that there already is one: Bikers 4 Obama, and I joined today.

I don't know yet what they're actively doing, but look forward to participating in whatever will help. I may ride to Nevada at the end of the month to register voters, or just to show my support.

Join me! and the top 10 celebrities for Obama.

Motorcycle to Point Reyes?

I love motorcycling up Highway One or through Lagunitas to Point Reyes and other coastal beauty spots. It's only one of our great Northern California natural habitats with lots of sea lions, birds, fishes, manta rays, and visitors like me who love getting off my motorcycle to enjoy a quiet picnic on the shore, or renting a kayak to propel myself quietly along the bay. I want to keep enjoying the lovely scenery, without OIL RIGS to spoil my view, not to mention their potential hazards. Yep, they're really trying to do it. Please help stop the madness. Please visit this site to let Nancy Pelosi know you want her to do her best to keep Big Oil out of our pristine coastal waters.
