Portland Maine is a place of history, dreams, water, and rail.
Hearty souls and sailors, ships and fishing, boats and islands,
The many millions of hands that produced a city from sweat.
The scrappy hard start of its' past mixes still today with the
proud architectures of the last centuries and it's new children.
Brick and cobblestone are a constant reminder underfoot, a time
when the ships ballast of brick became the very shell of the city.
The faces of its' people still echo the lineage of its anglo beginnings.
A genuine spirit still prevails there in a land where weather is harsh
and the better days are in short supply. A great pride prevails still!

Steps we've taken so far:
1. Live within walking distance to work.
2. Added solar panels for heating.
3. Limit automobiles usage and road trips. Keep a check on air pressure. Buy good used.
4. Use trains/bus and car pool when possible. Vacation or visit by train. Tour the country by train.
5. Live near and use the local bike path.

Visit Dog Bone Art in Washington DC at the end of September..the 28th to be exact. The event is at a place called the Marie Reed Learning Center. I was accepted to the Crafty Bastards show down there. I was surprised, didn't think I'd get in at all since I heard it's tough. Now hopefully I can find someone to go with me!

Yes, it is doable!
They don't want you to think it is possible, but it is possible if we insist on it!
