The Red Onion State Prison in Wise County, VA is identical to the Wallens Ridge prison in Big Stone Gap (pictured). These are Level 6 supermax facilities- general population here is equivalent to SHU time at other prisons. Essentially, these places are SHUs. Punishments at these facilities include being strapped spread-eagle on a steel slab in your underwear and then turning the temperature down while not allowing you up to use the toilet, and leaving you in your own filth for a couple days. This is in violation of federal law, the US constitution, international treaties, and United Nations guidelines on prisoner treatment.
The day I arrived I was…told that I was at Red Onion now and if I act up they would kill me; and there was nothing anyone could or would do about it.
There are no vocational programs, no skill training programs, no group activity of any kind, including religious services. Very little reading material is allowed, and is heavily restricted. Even the length of letters is restricted, to further isolate them from the outside world. Visits are noncontact- through glass w/ intercom phone and the inmate is shackled & chained during the visits.
3 ten-minute showers are allowed per week, but there are no doors or curtains and female guards are used at shower time to humiliate the inmates. When this was done at GITMO, they called it torture and there was worldwide outrage.
Life in segregation is even more restrictive. Nobody really knows how many inmates are in segregation because the facilities don't disclose it. Segregation in Virginia is indefinite. DOC policies provide no guidance on permissible length of time in segregation. Inmates do not know what, if anything, they can do to secure their release to general population. While the DOC's operating procedure mandates periodic reviews of an inmate's placement in segregation, it does not specify criteria for guiding the institution's decision-making process. Nor does it affirm the goal of safely transferring inmates to lesser custody as soon as feasible.
Human Rights Watch has issued a scathing report on the human rights violations at Red Onion.
Connecticut used to send prisoners to WR, and when CT legislators visited the prison investigating inmate abuse, they discovered the warden's office decorated with Civil War "memorabilia" and a model of a slave ship. The practice of sending CT guys to WR has stopped as a result of an ACLU lawsuit.
Amnesty International has been unsuccessfully trying to visit Wallens Ridge to investigate inmate deaths caused by tasers and stun belts.
Amnesty International posted:
"A prison system that has nothing to hide and is serious about addressing human rights concerns should welcome scrutiny and advice," said Dr. William F.. Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA. "There are long-standing concerns about misuse of stun guns in Wallens Ridge. That misuse may now have resulted in a death, and urgent scrutiny is required if Virginia is to avoid further tragedies."
Abuse is widespread and heinous at Red Onion.

O' Quinn then began yelling repeatedly in an excited tone "Break his goddamn arm! Break his arm!" with his extended fully outside the slot by Mullins and Tate, O' Quinn began dropping his body weight down onto Mitchell's arm attempting to break it at the elbow joint. (Sgt.

Kevin Johnson #189542 posted:
Fowler and R. Phipps had been propositioning an informant white inmate Dennis Webb #151452 to throw feces on me. On July 5th, despite the required search of the prisoner and his items prior to being brought out of his cell for a shower Webb had taken several bloated bags of the feces mixture to the shower. Second, only Webb, I, and one other prisoner were placed in showers in the unit next door to our own (C500 unit), which unlike our own C400 unit showers has no Plexiglas covering the shower fronts or locking covers on the handcuff slots. The C400 showers are designed this way to keep substances from being thrown from them. So, not only was Webb allowed to take the feces bags into the shower, but we were placed into showers in another unit from which Webb could easily throw the feces.

The EEOC has made it clear exactly what problems it intends to target going forward in its Strategic Enforcement Plan, including systemic recruitment, harassment and hiring practices that are intentionally biased or have an unintentional adverse impact on minorities, women and people with disabilities. Although the draft plan has been submitted for public comment and must be approved by the commission before it is finalized, it gives a clear vision of the agency's roadmap for future enforcement.
The agency has also elevated to the status of "national priorities" a list of currently "emerging issues" that the EEOC specifically intends to target:
- § ADA Amendments Act issues, particularly coverage issues, and the proper application of ADA defenses, such as undue hardship, direct threat, and business necessity;
- § LGBT coverage under Title VII sex discrimination provisions, as they may apply; and
- § Accommodating pregnancy when women have been forced into unpaid leave after being denied accommodations routinely provided to similarly situated employees.
Targeted and integrated enforcement efforts. The EEOC engage in targeted enforcement efforts as one of its "guiding principles." According to the agency, "targeted enforcement efforts will have the broadest impact to prevent and remedy discriminatory practices in the workplace." The EEOC will also "undertake an integrated approach to its work, one that mobilizes all segments of agency operations and emphasizes effectiveness, efficiency and consistency."
The draft Strategic Enforcement Plan also delineates five "nationwide priorities":
- Eliminating systemic barriers in recruitment and hiring;
- Protecting immigrant, migrant and other vulnerable workers;
- Addressing emerging issues;
- Preserving access to the legal system; and
- Combating harassment.
Recruitment and hiring. In order to eliminate systemic barriers in recruitment and hiring, the EEOC intends to "target class-based intentional hiring discrimination and facially neutral hiring practices that adversely impact particular groups." The plan notes that racial and ethnic minorities, older individuals, and people with disabilities continue to face biased policies, including exclusionary policies and practices, channeling and/or steering of individuals into specific jobs due to their status as a group, restrictive application processes, and the use of screening tools, such as pre-employment tests, background screens, and date-of-birth screens on online applications. It's evident that the EEOC will be looking very closely at these particular employer practices.
The EEOC intends an aggressive effort in targeting these emerging discrimination issues: "Swift and responsive attention to events, recently enacted legislation, and developing judicial and administrative interpretations and theories has the benefit of preventing the spread of discriminatory practices by promoting greater awareness and enabling voluntary compliance." With the EEOC's recipe for enforcement and targeted practices in hand, employers should consider an updated audit of their own employment practices.

We only had 6 Trick or Treaters. You are probably wondering how I got my moneys worth out of my costume with only 6 Trick or Treaters?
Don't worry my Grandparents think it is worth every penny. I even wore my costume to the pool that morning and modeled it on the pool deck. The first time I tried on my costume I cried. There was so much laughter I thought I was being made fun of. Now I now they were laughing with me, not at me.My Mom told me kids would knock on the door and say "Trick or Treat" then we would give them candy. Funny thing is nobody said "Trick or Treat." They all said "Happy Halloween". I guess that is the politically correct term these days. Maybe next year I will get candy out of the deal.

Why not celebrate this season of valentines with a love letter to the sweet monsters in contemporary children's literature? This trio of picture books is sure to capture the hearts of the young readers in your life–and touch you as well. Let us know other charming monster books on your book shelves!
Love Monster by Rachel Bright
It's daunting to be a hairy, red, googly-eyed monster and live in Cutesville, where are the resident are, well, cute. . .not to mention fluffy and cuddly. So Love Monster sets out on a journey to find someone who will love him for himself. Like all of us, he yearns for love and acceptance as he searches the world for a kindred spirit. Very British, no-nonsense but sympathetic tone. The print-making is bold and bright in reds and purples that reflect Love Monster's emotional palette. A lovely book for toddlers and their parents to enjoy together. And there are more books to come for Ms. Bright and her sweet monster. We'll keep you posted.
Leonardo, the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems
Leonardo has a very different problem from Love Monster. He wants very much to be a terrible and scary monster, but he can't seem to frighten anyone. Finally he meets a very timid little boy and manages to "scare the tuna salad out of him." (This is Mo Willems, after all.) But it turns out that Sam is actually crying for a whole laundry list of reasons–not that Leonardo scared him. In the end, Leonardo decides he'd rather be a wonderful friend than a terrible monster. With Willems' signature sense of humor and pacing, and not to mention delightful drawings with irresistible facial expressions, this one is a real winner.
Mostly Monsterly by Tammi Sauer and Scott Magoon
Bernadette would surely befriend Love Monster and Leonardo if they were to meet. Like these other individualistic monsters, Bernadette's interests are so different from her classmates at Monster Academy. While they are perfectly content to uproot trees and eat fried snail goo, she prefers picking flowers, singing friendship songs, and baking cupcakes. On the other hand, she is "mostly monsterly," lurching, growling, and causing mayhem with the best of them. Can Bernadette both be herself and fit in? With its humor, suspense, and beautiful illustrations, Mostly Monsterly makes a great read-aloud!


text: Hi friends! Thanks so much for the love & support with WPTB! It's been a fun ride, and I've loved blogging about how to be a wedding planner! But I've noticed that I'm frequently compelled to write about other topics, in ADDITION to weddings (let's be honest, I will always be obsessed). For this reason, I will be re-branding WPTB to make space for other interests/stories/lessons. The site will be evolving slowly, and I will keep everyone posted! I hope you'll all stick around to see how this new path evolves. I'm excited to see where it takes me!

Reading the comments from Paula's post,I feel really inspired by the support and understanding from you all. I have 82 lb to lose and just found out I have under active thyroid so my weight keeps going up or stays the same. I can lose 2 lb one week and put it on again the next. I have lost my will power to keep fighting a losing battle.
However, healthy eating and exercising on the 12 week plan is not a quick fix its teaching us how to be more healthy. So my thinking right now is as along as what's going in is good for me I really can't lose. At least I'll be healthy and I can get lean with exercise
I am going to give the 12 week plan a go.
Thank you for inspiring my to keep up my will power and not giving up x

Charles Ferguson's brilliant documentary Inside Job may be the most important movie of the year. It is a harsh but fair explanation of the misdeeds that led to the recent near-collapse of the global financial system. Unexpectedly, the film begins in Iceland, setting the stage for the collapse and kicking off the easily understandable explanations of the various tricks and bamboozles that have hidden behind their own complexity.
Like this year's other best documentaries, The Tillman Story. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work and Sweetwater, Inside Job gets out of its own way and just lets the story speak for itself. There is no need for a Michael Moore to portray the financial sector as criminally greedy and reckless – the facts speak for themselves and the audience can be trusted to "get it". At the showing I attended, there was general applause at the end.
Besides the obvious villains at the investment banks (Goldman Sachs, etc.) , the insurers of credit default swaps (like AIG) and the rating agencies (e.g., Moody's), Ferguson also takes aim at these thieves' political enablers and economist apologists. There are some 60 Minutes-style ambushes, but they are far less interesting for the squirming of the subjects than for exposing the completely clueless entitlement of the financial sector and its governmental and academic lackeys.
Inside Job exposes our Wall Street government, and is unflinchingly bipartisan in meting out the blame.
Matt Damon narrates.

On the surface, this does not seem like a trade worth talking about, but it could have a significant impact for both teams. The Detroit Tigers continued their evolution from a team that completely sold out defense for hitting and power hitting to a more defense first team with the acquisition of Gose who will replace the defensively challenged Torii Hunter in the OF and likely become their full time CF. Gose, at least so far, is not much of a hitter going .226/.311/.293, 2 HR, 15 SB, 9.1 BB%, 27.0 K% in 274 PA with the Blue Jays which are pretty much his career averages. His defense and speed, though, were good enough for him to put up an fWAR of 1.3 in that amount of PT. Gose was playing less than half the time in Toronto and the emergence of Dalton Pompey made him completely expendable for the Jays. He should have more value playing in the spacious CF and general offense suppressing environment of Comerica Park. He is still just 24 years old. I have long thought that Gose was rushed to the big leagues to fast and needs a full season of daily 4-5 PA's to realize his potential.
The Blue Jays may have gotten a steal in 2B prospect Devon Travis. Travis is small at 5'9", 185 but has hit and hit for power at every minor league stop. Last year at AA he went .298/.350/.460, 10 HR, 16 SB, 8.4 BB% and 13.6 K%. Those are practically Joe Panik contact numbers with more speed and more pop. 2B was a wasteland for the Jays last year and they apparently feel Travis can play at the MLB level. Projection systems seem to agree as his Steamer slash line for 2015 is .273/.320/.401. Travis had just been named the Tigers #1 prospect by BA in a thin system. He was blocked in Detroit by Ian Kinsler, but was not close to running out of options. The Tigers may come to regret letting him go in a few years.

The drumbeat is growing louder for more investors to consider short-duration bond ETFs with money market mutual funds facing the loss of some of their key competitive advantages.
All 12 Federal Reserve Bank regional presidents in a letter to the Financial Stability Oversight Council said they support money market mutual fund reform. The move provides cover for the SEC to pursue an overhaul of the huge money fund business.
"Money market mutual funds have no explicit capacity to absorb losses in the event of a decrease in the value of assets held within the fund's portfolio," said the Reserve Bank presidents in their joint letter. "This structure gives rise to a risk of destabilizing money market mutual fund runs by creating a first mover advantage."
Eric Rosengren, chief of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, submitted the letter on behalf of all 12 central bank presidents, the Boston Globe reports.
"Rosengren has been pressing for stronger rules for money market funds in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and was supportive of efforts by former SEC chief Mary Schapiro to impose new rules. Schapiro's effort failed, but the Financial Stability Oversight Council has proposed similar changes to enhance the safety of money markets," according to the report.
"The status quo is not acceptable,'' Rosengren told the Boston Globe. "Some kind of reform is needed" to reduce the potential risk in the system.

I know that not everyone likes personal posts, so if that's you, you might want to look away now. But I think for my state of mind this is something I need to post and I'm sure there will be a few people out there that can relate.
One of my new years wishes was positive thinking. I've always tried to be a glass half full kind of person but when you've been through some horrible things it's hard to think positively. In December I decided that there was no point being depressed and sad all the time and that I would appreciate what I do have rather than focus on what I've lost. It's easier said than done and I know for some people it's not that easy but for me picking myself back up was the most important thing. I think having things to focus on really does help. It's so easy to get stuck in a rut and not enjoy the things you used too, but ultimately you're not helping anyone.
So I'm not going to be one of those people who thinks that a new year will change them, but I do think that the new year, even though we are almost a month into it, is an opportunity for me to realise that if I want positive things to happen, I'm going to have to think positively and get off my bum and work hard. So that's what I'm planning to do. I'm going to love and cherish every happy moment and take every opportunity I can. It's amazing how adjusting how you think can change your outlook.
As for my health recovery, I'm doing just fine. Things are pretty much back to normal and the 3rd of February should be my last test. Bring it on!

How to Feed the Wild Birds, not the Bears or the Squirrels
By Cheryl Killam 4-13-17
It's spring time with summer only weeks away and the bears are moving around Raymond, Epping, Nottingham, Chester and Fremont. NH Fish and Game has put out notices for everyone to take down their bird feeders, before April 1st, of sunflower and mixed seed, peanuts, suet and anything else the bears might want to eat.
The bears have visited Ham Road in Raymond four years in a row now and each year they come out of semi-hibernation a week or two earlier than the previous year.
2014 was the first year we realized that there really were bears strolling through Raymond, because the bird feeder poles were bent and feeders were taken into the woods in April and again in June.
They pushed the feeder poles over but couldn't get any seed out.
In 2015 there was damage to the feeders and poles in June, July, September and November from multiple visitors, a mother with two small cubs and a single roaming male. The mother pushed over as many poles as she could so the cubs had plenty to eat with her.
Momma pulled the feeders down for the little cubs.
In early spring of 2016 the mother along with the full grown yearling cubs returned. She showed them how to find bird seed inside the galvanized buckets on the front porch and how to push the poles over with their front paws.
Momma and the yearlings pushed everything down they could.
This is the young bear walked through the front yard at 9:30 AM on June 25th and returned at 5:30 that same night hoping to get the feeders before they were brought inside.
This lone bear strolled through at 9:30 in the morning.
The first bear visit of the season was Christmas Eve 2016 and it has visited randomly over the past couple months. The bear was determined to get at the feeders and tried climbing five different trees, based on the claw marks in the bark, only to be stopped at the barbed wire wrapped around the tree trunks which prevents them from getting close enough to the cables to break them with their paws and have the feeders come crashing down.This visiting bear has been seen at various times of the day and night around Raymond and Epping.
Surprise, surprise, the bear visited on Christmas Eve 2016.
We have recorded the dates of all the visits each year and every year we say we are going to bring the bird feeders inside a month earlier but the bears come out before we get them inside.
Since I sit at the computer daily, with my desk beside a window, I really love to feed the wild birds and watch the bright red cardinals, gold finches, purple finches, chickadees, nuthatches, tufted titmouse, red-bellied, downy and hairy woodpeckers, blue jays and mourning doves feed. This past winter I finally had 3 pairs of bluebirds chowing down on meal worms and the peanut-butter cornmeal blend. Sadly, only one of those three pairs of bluebirds has decided to stay.
The birds are fed here year round despite the bears who might visit every 3 to 4 weeks because as it gets warmer into spring and summer there are red breasted grosbeaks, indigo buntings, orioles, and hummingbirds that visit and stay for the summer bringing their babies to the feeders as well.
This is how to feed the wild birds but not the bears or the squirrels.
All feeders are hung on the cables so that the bottom of the feeders are eight feet minimum from the ground and nine feet away from the tree trunks. Most bears in NH are not much larger than seven feet so they couldn't even reach on their tippy toes
You will need to use a six foot ladder to reach the feeders, to lower them, fill them and then rehang them. So if you don't like heights this might not work for you.
As you can see by the photo below, there are weather baffles over the tops of all feeders to protect the birds and the seed from the rain or snow.
Some feeders hang directly off of the large S-hook which is secured by the smaller S-hook (not shown above) while others hang from a 4 or 6" length of chain so that the feeders swing in the wind and do not come crashing down.
A list of items needed include:
- multi-strand twisted wire cable
- tear-dropped shaped thimbles
- bicycle tire inner tubes
- large and small Q-links,
- turn-buckles,
- two sizes of S-hooks
- two sizes of cable clamps
- a roll of barbed wire
- empty plastic bottles
- 6 inch x 4 inch heavy plastic dividers
1. Pick two solid oak or maple trees to hang the cable between. Do not use any fir or pine trees with any branches.
2. Measure the diameter of both trees for the short section of cable that gets slid inside the bicycle inner tube to wrap around the trees up at 11 or 12 feet off the ground and clamp them snug with a cable clamp.
3. Next measure the distance between the trees for the length of the feeder hanger cable, minus 6 inches or the size of the turn-buckle, pinch the cable ends around the tear-drop thimbles and secure them with small cable clamps.
4. Find the center of the hanger cable and attach a cable clamp to the cable and a small S-hook. Spread open one side of the larger S-hook for hanging the feeders on. Now close the bottom open end of the small S-hook around the closed side of the larger S-hook. This lets feeders swing in the wind. Decide how far apart you want more feeders and attach more cable clamps and S-hooks for hanging feeders.
5. Drill holes in the bottoms of the plastic bottles and the divider plates. Attach another cable clamp about 6 feet from the ends of the cable and then slide at least 3 or 4 sets of bottle and divider plates onto the cable. This is how to keep the squirrels from running across the cables to the feeders.
6. Attach a Q-link to the end of the long cable through the teardrop thimble and attach it to the rubber wrapped cable on the tree and hook the other end of the cable to a turn buckle attached to the second rubber wrapped cable that is snug around the second tree trunk.
Barbed wire wrapped around the tree keeps bears from reaching cable.
Drilled bottles and plastic dividers to keep squirrels off.
Rubber wrapped cable, Q-links and turn-buckle.
Chain attached to cable and hanging S-hook.
You've probably seen the photo of the bear hanging upside down from the cable and climbing paw over paw to reach the red feeder in the middle?
They cannot do that with ours because we keep them from climbing that high up the tree by wrapping barbed wire around the trees from the rubber wrapped chain down 2 to 3 feet. This way the bear can not climb and reach out its paw to the cable and snap it.
Claw marks on the bark where the bear climbed to get at the feeders.
Trust me it works. This is one of the trees the bear tried climbing and never made it up to the cables. Those are the claw marks in the tree bark and the bird bath beside the tree was knocked over when he slid back down the tree.
All the cables were still up, as were all the birdfeeders.
That is how to feed the birds during the summer but not the bears or squirrels.
This cable is 30 feet between the two trees with feeders spaced 20 inches apart.
This cable is 40 feet between the two trees with feeders spaced 3 feet apart.
You will need to check the rubber wrapped cable and barbed wire to adjust it periodically as the tree growns so the bark does not grow around it.
If you do not have the trees to setup the cable system, there is this bear proof pole that can be ordered. Click on The Bear Pole

Marathon to Sanderson March 31 2012
I set the alarm for 6:15 Am as I wanted to get up and go for a run this morning. However a train went by at 6:00 am blowing its whistle and woke me up, so I turned the alarm off. The next thing I knew it was 7:40 Am so I pulled on my running tights and top and went for a 30 minute run. The first mile was tough. The second mile was a lot easier and by time I was into mile three I was flying. I wound up with at a 29 minute 5k which was pretty good considering that this was my first run since the Napa Marathon way back on March 4. On the run a javalina ran out in front of me. It was pretty fun.
I got back to camp to find that breakfast was over but the cook pulled a parfait out for me. I gobbled it down and threw my gear into the bags and pushed off almost last. It caught up with Ken in the local coffee shop, so I collected him and the two of us were off down the road. It was easy sailing and we were down to the first sag which was at the 20 mile make in just over an hour. Wallace was there so the three of us set of with Wallace pulling us down the road at speeds approaching 35 mph. The favourable tail wind combined with slight down hill put us into the 40 mile sag in around 45 minutes. This left us with just 14 miles to go and the three of us knocked it of in 40 minutes.
There wasn't much for scenery and the town of Sanderson sure isn't much either. It is only slightly more than a cross roads however 75% of the buildings are abandon. There are three cafes but they are all closed. Two gas stations, one of which has hot dogs on the roller grill. They were pretty nice after the ride.
The pictures are; a self portrait taken while going 30 mph with one hand holding the camera, a shot of the road , and an old Texaco gas station advertizing sodas for $0.05 and tire repairs for $0.50.
We are staying in the high school gym tonight which isn't my favourite as I prefer the tent. So I will take a few Tylenol and try for some sleep. The early risers are up at 4:45. The high school gym class is doing a fund raiser for us for our supper. I am trying to be positive.
Tomorrow is 78 miles and it is going to be hot so I will try for an early departure.

Big Bend National Park March 30 2012
Today was a rest day so there was no riding. Instead we were shuttled down to Big Bend National Park. It was a 70 mile one way drive.
The park is right out in the middle of the desert. There are all these large hills. Some of them are volcanic and some are dolomite. The views are very dramatic but I will let the pictures do the talking. We had lunch in the main park restaurant. After lunch we drove down to the Rio Grand and walked out to the beach and dipped our feet into the river. It isn't reall much of a river but it up against some very dramatic dolomite cliffs.
On the drive back we saw some javalina in the ditch. I was quite surprised at how large they were. They were probably in the 50 pound range.
Tonight our cook had made blackened salmon. It was absolutely excellent.

Marfa to Marathon Texas March 29 2012
It is hard to believe that we have been on the road for 19 days already. The time seems to have just flashed past us. There have been zero riding accidents to date and hopefully there will be none. There have been three riders drop out so maybe this is going to be it. Normally you would lose 10-15% for trip of this nature either accident or drop out.
There seems to be quite a chasm developing between the riders. There are few who want to get up at 5:00 Am and then set about zipping and unzipping their tents. This of course wakes the rest of us up who want to sleep until 7:30 Am. Sunrise is at approximately 8:00 Am and first light maybe around 7;30 Am. There was quite a heated debate at rider meeting last night. I don't think there was any resolution other than the early risers will be asked to please keep it down. Fortunately I chose the snoring section when we started out as there are generally fewer snorers in the snoring section and generally no early risers. However there have been two tents added to the snoring section in the last couple of nights of heavy snorers, and one of the heaviest snorers was placed right beside me last night.
To days ride was from Marfa to Marathon which was 60 miles. The actual routed distance was 56 miles but Ken and I went into Marfa proper to get a real cup of coffee. The cook for this tour bought a 2 pound can of Folgers and he expects that to last for the trip. The coffee is barely brown. So we rode around looking at the town which was a bit of a boom town in the 1930's when oil was discovered near by. The oil boom is long since over and now it is kind an art community.
From Marfa it was an easy ride down 30 miles to Alpine where Ken and I met up with Wallace and Hans for lunch. Alpine is a really cute little town and we had a very nice lunch. However we spent a little too long before we got back on the road, as we still had 30 miles and we were only 8 miles out when the road surface went to chip seal and the wind turned into our face. There were gusts up to 45 mph and I could hardly make 8 mph. I pulled into the sag with 5 other riders. We waited about 30 minutes and as soon as there was a lull in the wind we took off. Five of us battled into the wind and rain for about 6 miles before we got though the storm. The last 15 miles were down hill and we had come through a little pass where the wind was now on our back. We just flew into. The five of us just had a great ride.
Tonight is burgers and brats. Tomorrow is a rest day And we are going down to Big Bend National park.

Van Horn to Marfa March 28 2012
The route instructions for to day were turn right out of cam ride 75 miles turn right into camp. When you look at a map of Texas you can see that the highway between Van Horn and Marfa has on turn in it. The highway goes straight south for 35 miles to a Valentine (Pop 217) then makes a 45 degree and heads south east for 40 miles.
We were up at 6:30 for coffee thanks to the early risers even though sun rise was not until 7:54. I was on the road at 8:05 and was one of the last to leave camp. There was absolutely nothing to see along the way. So I contented myself with taking photos of the riders.
Lunch was at the little town of Valentine where the 6 high school students were putting on a fund raiser for us. They are planning a trip to Costa Rica. They had pork burritos and brownies for us for $5.00. They were very good. The principal came out and talked to the riders about the little town and his school of 66 students. They are having a tough time as the ranching life is dying and there is no other industry. Nobody wants to live so far from anything.
The highlight of the day was this Prada store out in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately it was closed. Go Figure!!
After lunch the road turned to chip and seal and was very rough. It was a long grind and I am glad to be off it.
Marfa is the home of these unexplained lights in the sky, Some people thing it is related to headlights. However they have been seen for hundreds of years. You can Google it and read about it. Bubba is going to shuttle us down there to see the lights. Is that weird or what?

Fort Hancock to Van Horn March 27 2012
It was cold last night and a lot of people were complaining this morning about being cold at night. I even had to pull my fleece out this morning before the ride. Breakfast was being prepared by some local catering company and they were late delivering the breakfast burritos so everyone sat around chomping at the bit ready to go. They were worth the wait and the sun came up and warmed things up.
George from Texas announced this morning that to day would be his last day riding. He may come back in a couple of weeks however he is taking all of his gear so I would not give that a high likelihood. His wife is sick with cancer and he needs to be with her while she receives treatments. I hope things go well.
The ride was 75 miles to day and we started off down some little used roads before getting on to the I-10 for a few miles. Then we crossed over to this frontage road which paralleled the I-10. It was a chip seal road. The chips were huge chucks of gravel and they just jarred your teeth out. The road had a 1% up hill grade virtually all the way. So it wasn't steep but between the chip seal and the grade it just wore you out. One side was the I-10 and on the other was the railroad. It was dead straight and really boring and hard.
I got to the lunch stop which was at the 40 mile mark by 10:40 Am and didn't feel like eating so I just rolled on through. I don't think I can eat another plate of refried beans.
After the last sag stop at the 60 mile mark we crossed over the interstate and the last 15 miles was down the interstate. I just got onto the interstate when I broke my chain. It was a brand new Ulterga chain too. So there I was on the interstate with a broken chain, and by now it is close to 90 F. The pin which let go was still attached to one side of the chain so I beat the pin back in using a pair of rocks. By the time I was finished I was black with chain grease up to my elbows. There was only one hill which was about a mile long and then a 6 mile down hill to Van Horn. The beat together chain held and I made it in first.
We are here in a KOA campground which is pretty nice. Hot with no shade but they have WIFI and tonight is barbeque brisket.

El Paso to Fort Hancock March 26 2012
The ride to day was only 58 miles so there was no hurry getting out of the hotel where we were staying. In addition we wanted to let the morning rush hour settle down because we had to ride right across El Paso. We had come into El Paso from the west and were leaving out of the south east.
I left the hotel with Ken as he had gone to school in El Paso and Ken knows his way around. Having some one to navigate the directions was great as there were a lot of twists and turns. The first stop was the Aztec bakery where Ken and I enjoyed some very nice buns which were covered in icing. They were only $0.50 each. Unfortunately they did not serve coffee so we had to find a coffee in a McDonalds several miles down the road.
The road out of town was quite narrow and had a lot of traffic on it however it was very polite and several cars did not pass us until there was a clear spot. After we cleared town there was almost no traffic, and the road was extremely smooth. Having a good wind from the 4:00 o'clock position was a good help as well.
The country side gave way to a lot of farms and pecan groves. The pecan groves have not yet leaved out, so they look quite stark in comparison to every thing else which is green. If there is water you have very rich looking fields. If there is no water it is burned out scrub brush.
Ken and I continued down the road together and rolled into lunch in a small local Mexican restaurant. After lunch it was only 18 miles to Fort Hancock. The good tail wind and smooth flat road was great and we covered it in no time flat. Even with the late departure and lots of stops We rolled in at 2:00 PM.
Tonight we are camping in a church yard. There is a high school across the road where we are going to shower but we can't do that until 3:30 pm when school gets out. It looks like Ft Hancock is about 100 residents.

Columbus to El Paso March 25 2012
Last night after our delicious supper of feves au lard avec saucinies et boeuf cuite dans la graisse, we had two speakers. The first was the mayor of Columbus. She was a young woman who was very nervous to be addressing us but after she warmed up to the group she was actually an incredibly interesting person. She was not elected mayor but wound up in the office after existing mayor, assistant mayor, police chief and two town aldermen were convicted of gun running to the Mexican drug cartels across the line. She is one of the EMS workers and her main job is delivering babies of Mexican women who show up at the boarder crossing in labour. This way the baby is born in the US and is therefore an American citizen. WOW!! The second speaker was a friend of Bubbas who was an ex-under cover police officer who told us some very interesting stoties of his days as an undercover officer.
However you want to hear about the exciting adventures we are having riding though the total waste land. Wallace, Don and myself had decided to leave last so we just hung around and then rolled out of camp together. The idea was to leave last and then get in first. We followed quite a few other riders so I had my water pistol out and gave several of them a shot as we cruised past. They were think ing I was going take their picture so there was quite a surprise as I rode on by. I took a few rider pictures after I emptied my water pistol. Then I scared a couple of riders by coming up and barking. Here we are in the middle of the desert and there isn't a house for 50 miles so how would there be a dog coming after you. Lunch was at the 40 mile mark and by the time we got to lunch I was out in front. Wallace and I left lunch together and rode up to the DQ which was at 69 mile mark. Don joined us and we were going to ride in together but two other rider came up so Wallace and I left Don who wasn't ready to go yet. Wallace and I rolled in first.
It was a very nice 79 mile ride over some exceptionally smooth pavement with a tail wind which seemed to come and go. We crossed the Rio Grande which is nothing but a little bit of muddy water in aditch into Texas.
We are in a dumpy hotel tonight next to a gravel pit and cement plant. There is an elite gentlemen's club across the street. Wallace killed our roommate with one of his shoes (radiation does not kill these guys).

A Day Off in Columbus New Mexico March 24 2012
After yesterday's century a day off was certainly welcome. However the town of
Columbus is hardly the town I would have picked to have a day off in. The town is approximately 600 people. There is a little museum which is the old railroad depot from the Dodge-Phelps line which ran up to Bisbee but that line was abandon in the early 1970's. There is a tiny but very nice museum in the Pancho Villa state park. These museums detail the 1916 raid by Pancho Villa in to Columbia New Mexico. This raid sparked the positioning of US Army troops here and a 400 mile march by Pershing into Mexico. Pershing pushed into Mexico with cavalry armoured cars and troops searching for Pancho Villa but never found him. This set Pershing up to be the US commander in WWI. The US operation cost $130 million in 1916.
Ed took me for a little ride on his tandem recumbent bicycle. This was my first ride on such a contraption. It was a little intimidating. However it could be fun as you would always have someone else to ride with.
For lunch we were shuttled across to the Mexican town of Palermo. We went and had a very nice lunch in a place called the Pink Store. The food was excellent. It was kind of a unique experience. However there isn't much there either. The fence/wall between Mexico and the US runs about 0.5 miles in either direction from the actual boarder crossing and then turns into barb wire fence. It is about 10 feet high. I assume that no one from Mexico has figured out how to get around the fence.
Tomorrows ride is 74 miles into El Paso, which put us into Texas

Rodeo to Columbus NM March 23 2012
When the alarm went off at 6:40 Am this morning it was still dark as we lost an hour. So I crawled into my riding kit and headed off to breakfast. It was a long day today; in fact it was the longest ride of the tour at 96.5 miles. I don't exactly know what the temperature was but I think it was in the low 40's.
When I hit the road it was 7:40 and the sun was up and things were starting to get warm. I wanted to get as far down the road as possible as early as possible because the forecast was for 90 F. There were quite a few others who had the same thoughts and I was far from the first out.
The road was not a good as yesterdays and a lot of it was rough chip seal. It was also some what rolling. However I did manage to maintain a pretty decent speed. There sure wasn't much to see as this is pretty desolate country, in fact we hard the road to ourselves. The only car I saw was our cook and just as he passed me the county sheriff came screaming passed and pulled him over for speeding.
The lunch spot was a cross road and we had these wraps which were delicious.
Having 50 miles yet to go I jumped on the pedals and with a nice tail wind was down to the school in Columbia where we are staying by 2:30. I rode a couple of extra miles to make my century. The ride time for my century was just 5:35. Only one other rider was in and so we had to wait until everything was set up. I went to see the local museum which details Pancho Villa's raid on Columbia in 1916 and Pershing's counter attack. The army posted to divisions here for a long time fearing more raids from Mexico. Now it is a town of a few hundred.
Tomorrow is a day off in Columbia. Bubba has organized a trip across the boarder to Mexico for lunch.

Bisbee AZ to Rodeo NM March 22 2012
Right after we left Bisbee we rode past the Lavender pit. This is one big hole. So a quick photo stop and then on the road. It was 78 miles from Bisbee down to Rodeo. The first 25 was down hill so they just flew by. I pulled into the Sag and there was a bakery there so I ducked in and had a cinnamon bun for 50 cents.
After the SAG stop I rode along with Wallace to lunch which was out in the middle of the desert. As there was no services along the road our cook was making these wraps for lunch which were great. At this point we were only 45 miles down the road however the wind picked up from the west to about 20 mph. The road was dead flat and very smooth. So with a 20 mph tail wind you could ride along at 30 mph without even pedaling.
It was great just flying along. I was in camp first in less than 90 minutes. I know I have had more fun on rides but this one was sure a lot of fun.
Rodeo is just a cross roads in the middle of the desert. There isn't even cell service.
Pictures to be added later

Tombstone to Bisbee March 21 2012
The little cabins proved to be quite comfortable. There was a little electric heater which barely put out any heat but it kept the cabin nice and warm. It sure beat sleeping in the tent when the temperatures are in the low 30's. Wallace and Ken even admitted that their rubber mattresses were comfortable.
The ride was only 24 miles down to Bisbee today so breakfast was not until 8:00 AM. However everyone was up and milling around well before 8:00 am and was ready to go. I rolled out of camp with Ken and we circled through downtown Tombstone to see it in the daylight. There wasn't much to see. About three blocks of tourist trap stores selling genuine made in China Western souvenirs. We didn't see a coffee place so we rolled on.
The ride itself while very short was very pretty. We climbed out of Tombstone into the hills and were amazed at the beauty which surrounded us. I rode along and took rider pictures as well as lots of pictures of the country side. The big climb of the entire trip was today and it was about 2000 feet and about 10 miles. Almost anti-climatic after Italy. After the climb there was a short tunnel and a down hill into Bisbee.
Bisbee was a huge copper mining town from the turn of the century until the mid 1970's. The town has now been taken over but arts and craft shops. The tourist business seems to be booming. There is a great museum down town which I went though. There is huge pit just south of town. I didn't walk down to see it but it is suppose to be one of the largest holes in the world.
Tonight is another ghost tour and a wine and cheese party hosted by the local bike shop. Very cool!!.
The weather forecast is looking warmer. Yahoo.

Tombstone Ghost Tour March 20 2012
Just a quick note here to say we went to a western shoot out which was absolutely hilarious. Then around the corner into Big Nose Kate's Saloon for supper. After supper was the ghost tour. We got on a trolley which drove around town and we were told stories of the town of Tombstone. The high light was the night time visit to Boot Hill. The ghosts appear in photos as round balls of light. In the one picture you see the white cross in the next photo the same cross, but this time with the white balls of light. I am the only person who got this effect. Believe or not!

Tucson to Tombstone March 20 2012
It froze really hard last night. It had rained about 8:00 PM and there were drops of water on the tent and when I crawled out the tent was covered with these quarter inch drops of ice. The tent zipper was also frozen and I had to pull it real hard to get it open far enough to crawl out. At least we had the rec. center at the camp ground to go into to warm up and have breakfast. Bubba was in there making scrambled eggs which was a nice change from the bowl of frosted flakes. There was also a drip coffee maker so we had decent coffee for a change as well.
I bundled up and headed out as soon as I could and the morning is always the best time to ride. You have the least traffic, the lest wind, and you can often get some by yourself time. It was a kind of chilly as the sun was just over the horizon but there wasn't a cloud in the sky and not a hint of a wind. The road lead me south from Tucson in to the desert and though a bunch of rolling hills which had lots of curves. It was great fun charging up the hills and around the corners. There was a good climb about 10 miles in and as I gained altitude I noticed that there was a significant amount of snow in the ditches which had fallen over night. It was very strange to see cactus sticking out of snow. By the time I reached the 25 mile mark I was at the summit and there was a one mile section of 5% down hill grade. By the time I got to the bottom I was close to 35 mph. There was rustling in the deep grass right beside me and a coyote shot out right in front of me. The coyote was no more than 10-15 feet in front of me. I don't know who was more surprised.
At the 35 mile mark Wallace who was on a mission caught me and we rode into lunch which was this little place called Cunningham's Ranch House on the right (but was actually on the left – Bubba's directions—left Wallace and I shaking our heads). The bean soup and chicken fried steak special were excellent. After lunch Wallace and I rode along together and then got doing some serious pace line riding at one point Wallace was pulling at close to 32 mph. We had a little down hill and some cross wind which was some times a quartering tail wind. It didn't take long to eat up the remaining 40 miles into camp,, and Wallace and I rode into camp before any one else. Don and Liam had challenged us at one point after the second sag but they never really had a chance.
We are staying in these little cabins in this RV Park about 2 miles out of Tombstone. The place is pretty much a dump but the cabins are ok. I won the flip and got the bed with a real mattress. Ken and Wallace are in the bunk beds which have nasty looking rubberized mattress. We are being picked up and taken into Tombstone for the gun fight at the OK coral and supper.
It would have been a great day as the road was great, the scenery beautiful, however it was just a little cold at about 45 F. I guess I shouldn't complain as it would have been dreadful a 100 F.

Catilina State Park to South Tucson March 19 2012
Today's ride was only 35 miles so there was no hurray to get on the road. Besides it was only 34F. I lay in bed as long as possible but finally got up and put on everything I owned including my heavy duty rain gear as I could hear the rain pounding down on the tent.
After a hardy cold breakfast of cold frosted flakes and half frozen milk Ken and I rolled out of camp on our ride though Tucson. At least the rain had stopped but the wind was still howling. After 15 miles we found a Starbucks and rolled in. We spent about 45 minutes drinking our coffee and almost dreading getting back out into the howling wind.
When we came out the sun was shinning and it was at least 10 degrees warmer. It was not quite pleasant. The ride was very nice as there was a beautiful bike lane the entire way and the scenery was excellent as Tucson is set in the hills. The architecture of the homes is primarily the SW adobe style so there were lots of pretty places.
By time we got to the 33 mile mark it was lunch time so Ken and I went in and had fish and chips. They were excellent. We thought that we had 2 miles to go but it turned out to be about 6 miles. Bubbas' mileage was out to lunch again.
It is forecast for continuing cold.

A Day Off in Catilina State Park March 18 2012
The wind was howling all night long and the tent was flapping away but I was so tired I slept though most of it. However by about 4:30 I became aware that dust was filtering into to the tent and settling on everything. I turned on the light and sure enough there was a fine layer of dust coating everything. I hastily threw everything into my bag and zipped it up.
By 7:30 AM the rain was lashing the tent so I crawled out and Bubba was organizing people to be transferred to a café for breakfast. The wind is still howling and it is only 33 F. I have every piece of clothing I own on. I jumped in to a car and we were off. I camped at breakfast as long as I could but finally we had to leave. Four of us took a shuttle over to a neighbourhood mall and wandered though Wal-Mart for three hours and then went to a movie. I saw "Safe House" with Denzel Washington. It was one of the best action flicks I have seen in a long time.
The movie was out all too soon and I was back out in the cold. We stepped out of the theatre and there was Web who is one of the sag drivers so he drove us back to the campsite. I cleaned my bike and cleaned the dust out of my tent. I was quite lucky there as I only got a fine layer some people wound up with almost 0.5 inches in their tent. So I had time for an afternoon nap.
We get breakfast and supper on days off on this tour so after supper Bubba had organized this local radio personality called Cowboy Joe to come and give us a talk. He was an old cowboy whose family ranched the area for at least three generation. He was quite interesting.
The forecast is for continuing cold.

Strolling on a Sunday, taking the air, I surveyed the usual debris from Saturday night: cigarette packets, crushed Jim Bean and coke cans, unused but open condoms (yes, it must be fun opening a packet of condoms when you are pissed and walking home, they do it all the time – perhaps its the same fellow), carefully balanced half filled bottles of beer (I do not check what they are half filled with). And there it was: a bottle of absinthe.
What the Kevin? What Trevor left that lying there? I don't live in bleeding Montmarte. Its not frigging Moulin Rouge. My neighbour is not Toulouse Lautrec, or Ewan McGregor.
I can only assume some moron thought they were stealing a bottle of midori, or the world's fanciest mouthwash. The bottle was so green. I didn't even know you could get absinthe in Dingleville. I walked on amusing myself with images of tiny Kylie Minogues flying about the place before my conscience got to me. Absinthe should not be left lying around for small children. I could not bear the responsibility if they developed bad habits and started hanging around can can dancers and talking about "their Art". I walked back to empty the bottle. The seal was broken but little if any had been consumed. How did they react to the first taste of wormwood? "Thats not a melon liqueur, Donna." "Who you calling Donna, you poof." Punch. Its certainly not advocaat and cherry brandy.
So in my public spirited way I emptied it for the ants and bugs. The bottle remained unclaimed for several days.
One time, I found a dead fox on the same street corner. Not only is it not Montmarte, neither is it Sherwood Forest. Beatrix Potter is no neighbour of mine. I should find the photo and upload it.

During Donald Trump's meltdown during his rally in Phoenix Tuesday evening, he threatened to shut down the government unless Congress funds his border wall. The former reality show star launched a rant which was so insane that people are starting to question whether he's fit to hold office. We're pretty sure that House Speaker Paul Ryan is wondering that, too, after Trump's screamy-ragey speech.
On Wednesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said he doesn't "think a government shutdown is necessary," however, we've noticed that when the Republican leader says something in stark contrast to Trump's rhetoric, he never says it to his face. Like, for example, when he tweeted his denouncement of the Nazis who marched in Trump's name in Charlottesville, Virginia, with one of them murdering Heather Heyer, 32, and injuring 19 others, he failed to tag @RealDonaldTrump.
But anyway, Ryan said during a press conference in Hillsboro, Oregon, "I don't think a government shutdown is necessary, and I don't think most people want to see a government shutdown, ourselves included."
Ryan continued to say that "Congress in the House has already done its work on this issue" and left it up to the Senate.
"Given the time of year it is, and the rest of the appropriations we have to do, we're going to need more time to complete our appropriations process, particularly in the Senate," he said.
Talking Points Memo reports:
Trump on Tuesday night suggested he would push to tie funding for his proposed border wall to a government spending bill Congress must pass in the fall to avert a shutdown.
"I don't think anyone's interested in having a shutdown. I don't think it's in our interest to do so," Ryan added. "I don't think you have to choose between the two."
.@SpeakerRyan: "I don't think a government shut down is necessary, and I don't think most people want to see" one. https://t.co/9ZBdrCglu6 pic.twitter.com/ClqY5NAABp
— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) August 23, 2017
Perhaps Ryan should have a sit down with Trump and explain to him what happens during a government shutdown. On the other hand, Trump doesn't seem to care about very much. Ryan is trying to distance himself from the very president he supports. He's playing it safe, knowing full well that Trump won't last much longer in office. Ryan wants to come out of the madness with his hands clean so he can say, "Hey, I called Trump out" without actually calling him out. That said, he's going to have a battle on his hands to keep the government open and it looks like he's ready for that. We're certain several of his Republican colleagues would back him up on that.
