About Me


Marine Corps veteran. Politically progressive, so use common sense and education to make decisions on issues. Interests range from physical fitness, to creating good urbanism, and all the great good places in between. A staunch environmentalist, so I strongly support measures to defend the natural world. This obviously makes me a strong opponent of the current crop of idiots in charge of our federal government.

Pet Peeves:

Arrogance
Ignorance
Urban Sprawl
SUVs

And, in a class by itself, the worst of the worst:
Bush&Co.

My Interests

Running
Bicycling
Hiking
House Rabbits
Nordic Skiing
Yoga

Is Bush the antichrist?
