Calling All Occupiers! Calling All Occupiers!
...just a general shout out to everybody! Who all is on here right now, and what's on your mind? Doesn't have to be anything earthshaking. I am in Erie, Pa., I can see the lake from my window. Halfway between Buffalo NY and Cleveland OH. Just finished watching (listening to) Rachel while reading V for Vendettta. I'm up to the part where Evey is imprisoned. Tried a new Ben and Jerry flavor called "Bonnaroo" (Coffee and malt ice cream with whiskey caramel swirls and english toffee pieces) while sipping Cafe. Francais. Mmmmm!

Come out of your tents and say hi everybody! It's beautiful outside tonite!

...to the live stream? I and I'm sure others would like to view this. I hope Freedom is O.K., I watched her cover the LA eviction for hours straight. She was absolutely fearless and street smart, she would have made one of the. Vietnam combat journalists smile. Vibes for her safety.
I can't get the ustream of walmart to play from the link, it stays stuck at 0% buffering. I tried to watch her interview on Ustream, and it keeps stopping every 5 seconds like clockwork for buffering. It might be atmospherics, I'm in a bad location indoors on a samsung intercept. I tried moving ustream to the sd card, didn't help. Shit. Ideas anyone?
Right now I'm in Kaneohe Oahu, to make a presentation tomorrow, then some fun Friday Saturday, then back to work at the school offices!
Good people here, but I like home, too!
...the most beautiful islands on earth, and you wish you were back here with us in the frozen tundra of the northeast? Better drink some more Kaluah, buddy, and stat enjoying yourself! Aloha! 
When I hear the weather reports I get on the phone and make changes to the reservation...
Staying two extra nights on Maui, then I'll come home!!!
...as you walk on the white sand looking at the crystal blue waters...
If so I shared Chan790's concerns simply about the angle of who determines who gets access to the "national Occupy office" and stuff like that (in another thread).
The funding for the project I mentioned was for a much more local and low-key endeavor which might provide some local support for Occupy... when it comes to providing space, living space and so forth I think that's the model Occupy should be pursuing... distributed throughout the neighboroods, possibly with each space providing support for a neighborhood assembly

The problems I was having for work-related stuff seem to have solved themselves, so I'll have much more time than I did this past week.
i'll probably lurk more than i post, but i'm here, in Washtenaw Country, Michigan!
Hope you guys are getting the same warm weather break we are getting here for a change! Erie is usually like the south pole this time of year. Our local Occupy has moved indoors till spring.
at an internet cafe in southern Mexico, working my way back to the States. Plan to be back by mid-March.
Totally ready for American Spring.
We look forward to your return! 
I could always use more schoolin´.
It's ok - I break down and buy it sometimes too ...
Have a good weekend.
I must not eat the Bonaroo.....
... are happening in Seattle! It is 5:28 a.m. in Pa. Right now, I could use a steaming hot cup of Seattles finest!
I will NOT REPENT!!! Memories of going to"the shore" from Philly and eating at "Chris's Restaurant", fresh seafood right off the boat cooked in front of you! another vanished piece of the American Dream.....
Chris's restaurant was a famous restaurant in Ocean City. This was in the 60's. When I went there as a kid. They had a fleet of WW2 P.T. boats that fished and gave rides. It was awesome - this huge wooden boat doing 60 on the ocean, going airborne when it skipped off of waves! And jumbo shrimp damn near big as your fist.... 
It hit 60 today!
... thanks for the radio check!
... bless this young man. I couldn't do it. Too old and busted up. He is a college kid, about 6'3 (no exaggeration) and built like a brick. I spent a lot of time talking to him, he stayed after the rest broke physically and went indoors. I will drop in on him tommorow with doughnuts or pizza. I'll tell him it's from all of the occupiers in this thread.
sp He won't eat any food donation off the street unless yoju help eat some! Actually the unions have been wonderful with assistance to Occupy Erie. But driving past and seeing this lone holdout in the dead of winter....you have to know the story of Commmodore Perry and the war of 1812, and the hardship they faced to appreciate it. Eries motto is "Don't Give Up The Ship". This young man embodies that motto. 
Were never spoken.
