They are arranged by date in chronological order with the most recent listed first. 2003politics | 01/19/03 | deep thoughts – Helen Thomas: At the earlier briefing, Ari, you said that the President deplored the taking of innocent lives. Does that apply to all innocent lives in the world?... | dave politics | 01/12/03 | smoking gun – So far the UN weapons inspectors have found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction, no smoking gun, as it were, in Iraq... | dave rants & raves | 01/04/03 | speedway – I love speedway. In fact I even like saying it... speedway. It's one of those words that you can't just say either. You have to emphasize it... SPEEDWAY!... | dave politics | 01/01/03 | Iraq is toast – I was wrong. Gee Duhbya didn't invade Iraq in October. I really thought he would but it turned out to be politically unnecessary. Lucky for the Iraqis... | dave 2002september | march | february | january politics | 09/23/02 | the october surprise – Ready for war? It should start sometime in mid-October I figure. That would be to greatest political advantage for the resident, or so he thinks. It will be the October Surprise that won't surprise anyone at all.... | dave politics | 03/08/02 | diligence – We are a nation at war. A war on terrorism they say. My Mom and Dad told me some about their experience with war. They were very young children in Hawaii, December 7, 1941... | dave politics | 03/08/02 | in the shadows – So our feckless leader has put a shadow government in place in case he and the rest of the Washington brain trust get taken out by terrorists.... | dave politics | 03/08/02 | the secretive mr. cheney – The GAO for the first time in our history has sued the Vice President of the United States... | dave rants & raves | 02/10/02 | a boy and his dog – Tomo is my buddy. No matter where I go or how long I've been gone he's waiting for me when I come home and is always ridiculously happy to see me. It's embarassing... | dave natural | 02/10/02 | 1st sun – January 19, the first day this year that I sat in the sun. It's my one guilty pleasure. Don't smoke, drink only now and again and always in moderation, exercise regularly, eat right, but I just can't stop laying around in the sun... | dave nutrition | 01/27/02 | simple – The story was on about page 12 of the newspaper. Little more than a footnote really, compared to the huge holiday ads that filled the spread. Bt corn has been discovered growing openly in Mexico... | dave bicycle | 01/05/02 | the times they are a changin' – Cracked a rim last week. Third one in as many years. Strange. I never used to crack rims. In fact, prior to these three rims, I'd never broken a wheel in 30 years and not for lack of trying either... | dave garden | 01/05/02 | happy new year! – The shed is in! Thanks so much again to our friend Catherine who gave us her retired shed. Reduce, reuse, recycle! We painted it celery green... | dave 2001november | october | september | august | july | june | may | april | march | february | january garden | 11/20/01 | Wow! that's a big pile of ... – Walked out in the yard early yesterday morning with my giant German Shepherd dog Tomo at my side. He's a big, big guy. There is nothing little about him. It was a cool morning... | dave poetry | 10/24/01 | great blue heron – Every so often we encounter nature up close and personal. Rushing about in our manmade world we meet nature face to face and she stops us in our tracks. Our resident poetess Elisa recalls such an encounter. | elisa members only | 10/22/01 | resilient children – A poem close to the heart... too close, in fact, for public consumption, at least for now... so it becomes our first members only entry. | dave garden | 09/26/01 | and now for some good news – Autumn has arrived! The autumnal equinox occurred here in California on September 22nd and despite our fairly warm days, there is a distinct chilly edge in the air... | dave rants & raves | 09/21/01 | amazing grace – Many, if not most people have songs that have special meaning to them... favorite songs, "our song", songs that remind us of times and people past, but Amazing Grace digs deeper. | dave infamy | 09/20/01 | a modest proposal – After considerable thought on the matter I've come to the conclusion that the United States, in response to the terrorist attack of 11 September, 2001, should immediately and unmercifully begin carpet bombing the entire nation of Afghanistan... | dave rants & raves | 09/10/01 | suave® shampoo – I was washing my hair this morning when a thought struck me... "This Suave® is great shampoo." I could rave about it. | dave politics | 08/27/01 | what's mine is mine – Embryonic stem cells. The average person has no idea what they are or how they can be used in research and I guarantee Gee Dubya doesn't. He could probably tell you what part of a plant they come from but beyond that... | dave garden | 08/26/01 | year of the compost pile – We took out the remaining corn stalks and most of the tomatoes and okra. Fall is coming and we're getting ready. 2002 will be the year of the compost pile. Sounds weird I know, but last year we didn't have enough and we ran out. That is not going to happen next year... | dave garden | 08/17/01 | winding down early – The garden is winding down early this year. The plants have that tired look and many of them are bolting early. Tomato harvest is already tapering off compared to last year when it ran deep into September. | dave bicycle | 08/11/01 | the downieville classic – I go racing on my birthday and have an absolutely grand time in the sierras. The Downieville Classic – the last of the great adventure races. | dave garden | 07/24/01 | strange days – The average high temperature last week was 84. This is Carmichael for goodness sake! It's supposed to be 100 degrees... | dave garden | 06/25/01 | expanding the harvest – The harvest is gradually expanding. Okra is a steady daily item. Tomatoes are slowly ripening. Eggplant... | dave poetry | 06/29/01 | The Wrestler – A prose poem about a chance encounter. A bit of insight into a very different world. | elisa garden | 06/08/01 | keeping busy – It's been a very busy two weeks. Most notably we lost a large portion of the softneck garlic crop. It seems... | dave bicycle | 06/08/01 | the assault – A distressing look at how man treats his fellow man. | dave natural | 05/30/01 | nudermaphobia – A few stories about America's phobia for nude people, nudermaphobia. | dave bicycle | 05/23/01 | the upgrade – A piece about properly bonding with a machine... a most incredible machine no doubt but still it is rather odd. | dave environment | 05/18/01 | we're buttheads – but don't worry, it's OK | dave garden | 05/18/01 | garden journal – the heat is on! | dave poetry | 05/10/01 | the call – Working in poetry, a format he doesn't often dabble in, our friend Layne eloquently expresses some long held notions and gives us some much needed positive energy. Thanks Layne, its nice to hear from you. Hope you and yours are well. | layne politics | 05/01/01 | goodbye christie whitman – Still more backward GneWs. Cheney introduces the EDPA | dave garden | 04/30/01 | garden journal – i love spring! | dave politics | 04/26/01 | GW warns China – More backward GneWs. What if we were talking about Cuba instead of Taiwan? | dave garden | 04/25/01 | garden journal – harvest of hope | dave garden | 04/19/01 | garden journal – nights are warming and everything is growing rapidly again | dave politics | 04/11/01 | spy plane crash – What if the news were backwards? Reversed so to speak. You would have the GneWs. This is a GneWs story about the recent spy plane crash. | dave bicycle | 04/11/01 | why I race – I wonder out loud about why I race. I've thus far not shown any outstanding talent for it and yet I carry on. There must be a reason. | dave politics | 03/30/01 | new imperialism – "We're certain there are madmen in this world, and there's terror, and there's missiles..." | dave nutrition | 03/21/01 | mutant food – A frightening tale about strange things creeping onto your table and into your mouth! | dave poetry | 03/21/01 | Another poem from our most prolific contributor, Elisa. Her most recent submission "Hair" straddles the line between prose and poetry and was written to be read aloud. So as you read it, imagine curly-haired Elisa speaking. | e slee nutrition | 03/16/01 | the nanny police are looking out for you! – A very curious advocacy group thinly veiled as a consumer watchdog. Entertaining, scary, delusional... | dave bicycle | 03/15/01 | the commuter – The beginning of the bicycle commuter page. | dave bicycle | 03/15/01 | your last bike – The beginning of the 'last bike' page. | dave naturism | 03/14/01 | my birthday suit – dave poetry | 03/12/01 | leaf! – elisa slee |
