So I am here and safe in warm and sunny san francisco.
My arrival into san francisco was a little crazy. When I got here both of the people who I had arranged to stay with were away. I went to the BART station hoping that somehow on my ride my hosts would miraculously return. When I got to the other end I went to...

Well the battle continues this week as they continue to spray more neighbourhoods.
Two days ago the Province cut funding to CROW (Concerned Residents of Winnipeg) a group given a grant to educate people about Malathian. The reason their funding was cut was because they viewed washing down playground structures after they had been sprayed as advocacy work.

i just finished re-reading book 5 (because i'm a nerd.) starting book 6 tonight. don't tell me what happens... i'm SO excited for it!

Pesticide Blockade
Winnipeg Sun Article - This is a little biased. The blockade I was a part of lasted over an hour with wonderful people in gas masks and drums. Stay tuned for the next post about today's sit-in/street theatre.
I like to keep busy everywhere I go

Well I have survied the muddest (most amazing) folk festival in recent memory. 4 days of camping on-site, dancing and singing till dawn on top of mud and below lighting filled skies is my idea of a good time. Feist, Kinnie Star, the Be Good Tanyas, Ricky Skaggs, Bo Dollis, Dr. John, Xavier Rudd, and Emmylou Harris all performing on a site full of hippies,...

That sounds lovely. 
Got back from the fabulous time at the SG party in Calgary. Had a great time meeting everyone. Special thanks to Coriander for offering up her futon.
Today I am back in Edmonton. The next few days will be a little hectic but I am hoping to have some downtime before I head off to the folk fest in winnipeg. I can't wait to see...

Back in Edmonton again although not for long. After hanging from the buildings in Montreal I went off to San Franscisco, the city by the bay for a job interview with an activist organization.

So I am off to San Franscisco in August (if...

There are plenty of fine eateries in the area - actuall,y there are plenty of fine eateries within a five block radius of that spot. Enjoy.
As for recipes, I always like a good spinach salad. The dressing is made from chopped vidalia onions, chopped hard boiled eggs, canola mayonaisse, and balsamic vinegar, with some applewood bacon sprinkled over the top. Obviously, not veggie or vegan or even healthy, but it is an occasional sin I love to endulge.
