I am still unable to rouse the Tar Sands protestors to find
out where to join them. I have tried emailing and posting to the website. I got a weird email back asking if I've signed up at the website - where do they think I got the email from?
I originally read the early reports saying they were in Livingston
Tx, which is about 80 miles north of Houston – but Democracy Now & other newspaper
articles, are now saying the blockade is in Winnsboro, which is outside of Dallas.
I’m peeved, as I could/would have come thru Dallas,
if Livingston was not mentioned originally.
It’s over 250 miles from Houston,
where I’m dropping Jess off, to Winnsboro. I would only have enough veggie oil
to just barely get there.
After I drop Jess & her stuff off in Houston, I'll be about 250 miles from my veggie oil guy in Louisiana. If I head
north, I’ll be over 500 miles from him, which means at least 50 gallons of
diesel – not just cost prohibitive but how can I justify protesting a crude oil
pipe line if I’m going to be using so much diesel?
I’ll drop Jess off, head to Louisiana to fill up with veggie oil and
continue my trip – and I’ll plan on joining the protest on my return in December.
