This is just a "Pre-last-call" reminder, I will be doing a whole post on the Barbecue later.
The barbecue is Saturday May 24th. 2008, at the Redway Fire Hall.

Dedicated to remembering how it was “back then”, and Tales about the Eel River Valley, and the wisdom of the people that live there. With a big emphasis on; “Language has never been about correctness, it has always been about communicating”. We live in one small bubble of place and time that peace is thought of as ideal, we should revel in it! We cant judge what happened in history by who we are now.

"I'm so tired of people substituting "values" for truth in a wide variety of situations. As a member of the reality-based community, I'd like to see reality used as the litmus test... " Jon Carrol
"The sound "squaw," regardless of its spelling, is OUR word for woman, and it is NOT to be used as an insult! When I hear it spoken by Native peoples, in its proper context, I hear the voices of the ancestors. I am reminded of powerful grandmothers who nurtured our people and fed the strangers, of proud women chiefs who stood up against them, and of mothers and daughters and sisters who still stand here today. In their honor I demand that our language, our women, and our history, be treated with respect.
Thank you for listening."

Quotes from Richard Dawkins:
...Anybody who thinks you need religion in order to be good is being good for the wrong reason. I’d rather be good for moral reasons. Morals were here before religion, and morals change rather rapidly in spite of religion. Even people who rely on the Bible use nonbiblical criteria. If your criteria are scriptural, you have no basis for choosing the verse that says turn the other cheek rather than the verse that says stone people to death. So you pick and choose without guidance from the Bible...
...I draw strength from reflecting on what a privilege it is to be alive and what a privilege it is to have a brain that’s capable in its limited way of understanding why I exist and of reveling in the beauty of the world and the beauty of the products of evolution. The magnificence of the universe and the sense of smallness that gives us in space and in geologically deep time is humbling but in a strangely comforting way. It’s nice to feel you’re part of a hugely bigger picture...

Dang, I would have come down, too.
I'll be gone for the weekend. Can you save me some? And I had better be able to cut it with a plastic fork.
Eko, no problem, I will e-mail it to you.
The meat is so tender that we have trouble slicing it. It would do well as pulled pork, but most prefer it sliced.
We will have Pork, Beef, and Buffalo.
Welcome Back, I thought I lost you after the "Twilight Zone" post. I should have known that someone like you with both feet firmly planted would be spooked away.
But, I did expect some kind of a Bigfoot story from you, being from Willow Creek and all.
I see with the advanced sale of tickets the old folks have to pay the same. No break for them. Poor old farts anyway.
Being sixty three myself, I qualify for the discount. And I can assure you that I am twice as hard to please as a kid, and you can be darn sure that I'm going to get my moneys worth. So, they don't dare give me any bigger break or they will have to pay me to come!
