Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Yikes - fuckin xspace closes campground....GRRRRRR

It's twilight zone - a sheriff's car blocks the route to Boca Chica Beach where folks can camp for free while enjoying the waves of the Gulf of Mexico and the sandy beaches. I'm PISSED - it's bastard e.m. who is going to do something with his billions project based here so the road to the beach is closed today and tomorrow - it MIGHT open tomorrow nite but then close again the next day.

So I'm stuck driving another 25 miles back north to South Padre Island. I could stay at the walmart or a gas station but who wants that? I want a beautiful place on the beach so off I go - and a beautiful place it is. I'm camped for two dayz on the county campground which is about $45 more than I intended to spend for these two days. But I can walk to the beach and then hike along the shore. The sand is packed down solid and although the campground is ugly, I'm camped close to the bathrooms YEAH - and they have a lovely, hot shower.

Also, I'm re-painting the back of my truck. I decided to paint over the gender critical statement instead of the "disarm" part - I couldn't bring myself to paint over that after the most recent mass killings.
