What a beautiful day we had today. Perfect for a nice trip across the Golden Gate bridge. Imagine my surprise, and those of the tourists and others that backed up at the roadblock set by the Highway Patrol, when we found we couldn't get across the bridge.
Of course cars could get across, since they are obviously more important than us with bikes and those walking. Oh, and if you wanted to peacably assemble and walk across the bridge, you couldn't get across either.

So you want to center your images on the diary? It really is simple.
See below for an example.
I find blogs fascinating, or more specifically I am intrigued by the people involved and the interactions that develop. Like a small town that can only communicate through computers without seeing each other. A big experiment that we are all participating in.
But people move around in this town, sometimes going to other towns when they no longer feel comfortable participating or for any number of reasons. This diary explores the concept of Blog Dumping: leaving one Blog and joinging another.

Most of us have probably seen 'An Inconvenient Truth' by now, or at least know that our planet Earth is reaching limits that are stressing our planetary system to the breaking point. Once certain limits, the tipping points, are reached, positive feedback will create irreversible and rapid deterioration of our environment.
Who are the people that don't believe? Can we work together to solve problems effectively? How do other species cooperate?
I signed up to be the leader of this Country, oh, the US I mean, not some lame duck president quacking by himself for two years without any power to do good. I like hard work, as you know, and besides, I had this dream last night, and I just feel glad for me to be in the winning party again. It feels good, and bipartisan, 'cause Cheney will stay a Republican. It was either that or take a two year vacation.
He's a British guy that just started in May, so you definitely can't blame how the situation is there on him. This was his first press conference and all. He's one of those guys that has gained that subtle ability to speak military. You know, those military guys have a tough job and get the unfair association of everything they touch blowing up or getting holes in it and dying. So they do have to put on a good press conference and I understand that. Read More
Last week in in another diary Benjaminwise discussed "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins and it struck me that with the anniversary so close and the importance of Iran in the news today, a quick summary of the book and its lessons would be useful to those that did not know the story.

I then cross-checked it. In the Washington Post:
In August the agency completed an 11-question form detailing the potential damage done. In September, Tenet followed up with a memo raising questions about whether the leakers had violated federal law.
And then I found a copy! Read More
Even here in San Francisco, where styrofoam will be banned starting next year:
Polystyrene foam "is a notorious pollutant that breaks down into smaller, non-biodegradable pieces that are ingested by marine life and other wildlife thus harming or killing them," the legislation reads. There is also no easy way to recycle polystyrene foam, according to the legislation.
No easy way? Read More
Just an observation from a neophyte here, but it seems like a bunch of talented people want to help and yet, how is that volunteer effort organized?
Are we making the best use of the people and talent that we have to get things done? Maybe. Read More
