Deb is one of the few people that commands my total respect on this network - not by dint of any particular history, not because I agree with 100% of what she relates, nor because she's been far more respectable than the majority of us, in general, nor has she ever kissed my ass - but she simply commands my total respect.

I don't ignore those kinds of commands unless they're tendered with words. Deb tenders the command with something else. I guess I'll call it "an oblique communication of total respect".

I've never seen her disrespect anyone, or assume something, or mistake direct language for disrespect. She seems to have that rare ability to understand what is being shared, and she seems to value it. That's rare. We're all better for having had access to this example.

Burn Continues - Alameda tonight
Tonight I'm meeting up with some friends in Alameda so I had to get online to find the place. It's called La Pinata Restaurant at 1440 Park St., Alameda and we'll be there around 7:30 PM. My friend Cross Sydthe has dialysis on Friday and he'll be done around 7 so we're going to meet there at 7:30.

If anyone else is in the Bay area and wants to meet, feel free to drop in, the more the merrier.

I'll write later about all wonderful events of the burn. It was very healing. And I hope many ... read more

Moving on - Playa memorial activities for Caleb Schaber
How to remember Caleb Schaber this year at the burn? Playa time being what it is, pick the one you can fit in to your schedule or that helps you to say goodbye:

• Bring a “found item” like a piece of wood that he might have painted on to add to the on-playa Outsider Art sculpture that we are creating. If you have one of Caleb’s paintings, photocopy and bring that to put on the sculpture. Bring that email that haunts you still. Heck, Caleb once created a piece of art from a pizza box! There... read more

Caleb Schaber
Caleb chose to leave this world on Friday, April 17th at about 2:15AM. I wish he hadn't made that choice.

This song was one of his recent favourites and somehow playing it is giving me some comfort.

Caleb liked this version: www.youtube.com/watch

Created by Portugal. The Man

I don't know how we were created
But I know we all die

Go pick up all your tools and build a roof
I'll pick up all mine and build one too

I just do as I do
That's all I can do

Maple Syrup Revolution
We've had a busy few days in Canada while you folks were having your turkey. Actually we had a bit of a revolution. Maybe you've heard that we elected a minority neo-con government on October 14 then watched with envy as you folks chose hope on November 4.

Well, we might have fixed that little problem. It's taken four days but...

About 20 minutes ago, the news came across the wires that our three parties on the left have united in a coalition and will be putting forth a motion of non-co... read more

Re: MOjo riding (in Radical Life Institute) UberSatan;

How sweet to see you! And so happy we've made you smile.

I recall a day a few months ago when I was trembling in tears and you shared a conversation with me privately online that brought a smile to my face too. As they say, what ... read more

Re: Playa care (in Burning Man) Good question, Chris. Hopefully burners will sign the petition and possibly put a stop to a landfill on the playa. The locals sure don't want it. We had an impact on the Sempra coal question a couple years ago by voicing our opinion. Maybe we can ... read more
