My DNC Trip - Sunday, August 24, 2008

Well I am here and have already met a few attendees from the media. The long shuttle ride from the airport yesterday evening was full of media and me. Well there was one older couple and a friend getting dropped off at their homes. They were bored with our conversations. Media folk were:

Boston Phoenix, David Bernstein - here's his blog: http://thephoenix.com/Blogs/TalkingPolitics/
Hopefully the wireless Internet will work for him

Christian Science Monitor (didn't catch her name): http://www.csmonitor.com/

A blogger from France (he's an American living in France). Wow, his trip over had them above Greenland looking down at the glaciers.

And a media logistics woman staying up in highland Denver perhaps on friend's floor.

Well, it is time to get ready and head downtown. This will be my first light rail ride in Colorado. The D Line from Englewood station should bring me right to the convention center then I will walk to the operations command center. - wish me luck

Chelsea Handler Lesby Friends

July 26, 2008


The STAR of Chelsea Lately was at Treasure Island Casino . This was what she called her 'lesbian' look. Nice vest.



xShe was sassy with an audience memeber. I didn't love looking through the quasi-mo hawk all night.

Ahhh, it was worth it. Book, 'Are You There Vodka? It's Me Chelsea' signing after the the show. She is a little gal. I think she was saying something about "Red Wing, Suck it."

CSA Share - Week 7

Mixed Lettuces (in bowl), Walla Walla Onions, White Ball Turnips, Northern Lights Swiss Chard, and Provider Green Beans & Eureka Yellow Beans (in bag)


This week's produce has less lettuce than weeks past. We enjoy the change. More to come on how we prepared the chard. A couple weeks ago we got Joi Choi Bok Choi and grilled it. Yum.

Our Community Supported Agriculture farm is Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm in Harris, MN and we split our share with Jon and Deb.

Lunar Eclipse

Looking up at the eastern sky

Last night we went out in the freezing weather to catch a glimpse of the lunar eclipse. Here is the view at 8:38pm CT.

Jittery effect, oops.

I changed the setting on the camera to 'twilight' and it unfortunately captured my movement.



These shots were around 9pm when the eclipse was in its totality.














Pictures just don't capture the awesome view of this incredible astronomical delight.
