This weekend...
We did a lot of biking. On Saturday we got in close to 12 miles. On Sunday we had 5 bikers in our group and we rode 7 miles. It was very nice weather all weekend! We have been lucky with not being rained out for a while. We still need a lot of rain and we are suposed to get some this week. More later.

Stop the 21st Century Gatekeepers
Dear Friend,
Verizon recently blocked text messages with political content -- raising very serious concerns about free speech over new communication technologies. Verizon claimed to have fixed this mistake, but they and other large phone companies still reserve the right to censor certain cell phone communications and cut off Internet users for "any reason or no reason."
Millions of Americans use cell phones and the Internet to connect to one another. The fundamental democratic principle of free speech is too precious to be left to the whims of the corporate gatekeepers that control these networks. Congress must take immediate action to protect free speech on our cell phones, over the Internet -- everywhere!
I strongly urge you to call for Congressional oversight hearings on cell phone censorship.

Unless we speak out to our members of Congress they could move
to allow large telephone and cable companies to control what you
do, where you go and what you watch online. To learn more,
