These days Dana is getting more and more into exploring local produce and agriculture. There are a lot of upsides to the concept, from supporting the community, to eating organic, to reducing the fuel and other infrastructure we require to support ourselves. It seems we're not alone on this, we continue to hear and read about others doing the same, a sort of groundswell of interest in urban agriculture, self-sufficiency, even guerrilla gardening.

So the Weepies have a new album. And it's good. I've been getting to know it over the last couple of days since its release, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. There's some really nice stuff here from this pair of lovebirds.

The common motorcycling theme just makes it that much more appealing.

This is a report I've enjoyed possibly more than any other:

Mike has made the move to his new home in Oregon, and will be working at the new building up there. Of course his move has been in the works for some time, but even so his last day seems to have come upon us really quickly, and I was unprepared for the emptiness he left behind.
