Hey Folks, it's another August! Let's gather around the IAN Campfire and do the Summer Thing.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
OK, we do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

How can it be August already? Well it is--and time for a mini-camp Diary for IAN and all the IAN campers. First, we need a (safe) campfire
or if not in a forest, perhaps on the beach
and some gooey yummies
We all remember S'mores fondly:
How about an update on the ol' S'more?
or this:
We could do an edible campfire:
And remember to welcome the stranger into our cozy circle, no matter how different the stranger may seem at first
So let's set up a comfy camp and talk a bit about our own campfire experiences, old, new, anticipated!
