The Johnson Family's summer has been crazy. We have been out of state 3 times in the last 5 weeks. Twice for a family reunion and once for a funeral. Andrea and I have driving across the midwest with small children down to a science. I have been riding some. All I can say is that Elm Creek is a godsend! I can jump in there and ride for an hour and get home to help Andrea with the kids. Work has been crazy and it has been hard to not let it consume my thoughts and time. Andrea's sister is getting married next month and it promises to make September just as busy as the summer. I hope all of you are having a great summer. I have been reading the blogs and email and it sounds like a lot of riding and fun is happening. See you in the park or on a ride!

Chris Matthews Tears Up Kevin James on Hardball
Seriously, Watch this. Realize that you need to understand history to not repeat it. You will be hearing alot of crap from the right during this election. The vast majority of it is as intellectually uncurious as the current president as well as their current candidate for said office.
Houses: Pennsylvania
Either John McCain can't remember how many houses he has because he is going senile or he has so many that there is no way he can relate to America's middle class. Either way, It's not a good thing.....

T. Boone Pickens and the Pickens Plan
I read something interesting on MSNBC.com this week about T. Boone Pickens, multimillionaire oilman from texas, that has a plan to get us off of oil by utilizing wind and solar power on a massive scale. He has a plan to utilize the wind corridor stretching from Canada to northern texas. and then shift that energy out to the nation from there. Fascinating stuff. He thinks that the natural gas that is now used for energy generation can then be shifted to transportation needs getting us off of oil to a great degree. I was skeptical (I know, shocker) but then I was watching NBC news today and the guy had bought TV time on National television to promote the plan. There is a website (actually, a whole slew of them). This guy is on the environmental movement bigtime. He realizes that oil is like crack and we're giving money to a dealer that doesn't like us very much. I guess time will tell but it is good to see that since our politicians can't put anything together like an organized plan to provide secure, reliable, energy infrastucture that is both clean and renewable, this old oil dude can.
