[Oe List ...] Baileys and Wainwrights

Mon Oct 6 03:31:53 PDT 2014

I had a hard time getting up this morning as the ache at the base of the spinal column refused to cease.  And I haven't reached 70 yet!

To the Baileys and the Wainwrights, it is always a pleasure to remember y'all.

*TUE SEP 30* *Fremont, to Parks & Recreation Center in Bellevue, OH*

Last night I slept well on the bed. Once again, I put my sleeping bag out
on top of the blanket so I didn?t use their sheets or the pillow. There had
been no announcements at last night?s dinner about when we planned to
leave. I went out to pack my things in the truck and discovered that it had
started raining, a sprinkle not a downpour. I had everything packed up by
6:30am and went to the Retreat kitchen. There were very few looking for
breakfast. I got granola and yogurt out of the kitchen truck and ate my
breakfast. Ed came along later and made pancakes. I didn?t need any more
breakfast.

It rained intermittently. I asked JJ if he had a rider. He said ?No?. I
asked if I could ride with him if it continued to rain. He said, ?Yes?. I
surveyed the weather and decided that the rain had gone away. I decided to
ride my bike. I got route info down on paper from someone. As I was getting
ready Shira approached me and indicated we should ride together. We got
Jim, one of the hosts, to instruct us on how to get to the Trail that runs
from Fremont to Bellevue. Shira and I got on our bikes and rode off. It was
chilly and as soon as I started to sweat I was hot and cold. The atmosphere
was clear but the clouds completely blocked the sun. Shira decided to ride
at my pace. We took both lanes and in 15 miles had only 2 cars to watch out
for. We conversed as we rode. I discovered that we have some common
interests: she makes apple cider in the fall, and she is a beekeeper.
Interesting how we had a chance to share in our ?side-conversation?. When
we?re busy attending to March practics those conversations aren?t
appropriate.

We got to Bellevue and asked how to find the library. It was on the way to
the Parks and Recreation Center where we were to camp. We stopped and used
the library?s computers for email, then went to the campsite. I had used
Rod?s needle and thread in Elmore to fix one of the tie-downs on my bike
backpack. I put the needle back in the spool of thread and when he opened
the spool container, he couldn?t find the needle. Since I had time I went
to a Dollar Store and bought him a package of needles. Dinner was late.
There was an All-Camp meeting. The topic was ?What do you want the March to
do in the last month and how should it empower us to act when it
concludes?? There were many suggestions. Sean was the facilitator and will
gestalt the brainstorm for us to begin work on. It will be interesting to
see what the follow-up achieves.

Peace, David

Subject: [Oe List ...] Very Brief Ferguson Update from Saturday/Sunday
	10/4-5: check out Powell Hall Concert demonstration.

Below are brief Ferguson updates from Saturday and Sunday.  Check out the link 
to the Powell Hall Concert demonstration.

Saturday, October 4:  Three Abrahamic traditions today:  Christian Feast of St. 
Francis of Assisi, Jewish Yom Kippur, and Islamic Holy Day Eid al-Adha--the day 
of Sacrifice at the end of the Hajj Pilgrimage.

After returning from a meeting around 9:30pm, we saw on TV that there had been a 
"flash mob" of about 50 people who staged a demonstration in Powell Hall at the 
end of the evening concert's intermission just before the orchestra was to begin 
a Brahms Requiem.  One person stood up and started singing and then others 
gradually joined the revised spiritual:  "Which side are you on, friends?  Which 
side are you on?  Justice for Mike Brown friends, justice for us all.  Three 
banners were hung over the rail from the balcony:  a picture of Michael Brown, 
"Black Lives Matter" and "Requiem for Michael Brown".  Paper hearts with Requiem 
for Michael Brown written on them were also thrown over the balcony rail. After 
about 5 minutes of singing, the protestors, who had paid for their tickets, 
left, chanting "Black lives matter."  The Requiem banner was left hanging, the 
other two taken by the singers.  Some members of the audience, orchestra. and 
concert choir applauded.  Then, after that
  brief delay, the Brahms Requiem began--with perhaps a new meaning?

The demonstration was musical, creative, solemn, coordinated with the requiem 
theme, peaceful, tasteful, interracial, and didn't interrupt music already in 
progress.

*WED OCT 01* *Bellevue to Edison Woodland Preserve, New Berlin, OH*

The first day of October! Seven months on the March; only one month left!
Overnight was a reminder that fall is here. The overnight temperature must
have gotten down into the 50?s. The morning sky was covered with clouds; no
way to see the sun. I saw a sign at 10:30am that registered the temperature
at 68?.

Today was a 23-mile day. I did get Sarah?s directions by email but found
the route directions confusing and so probably did 28 miles of riding. There
was a town along the way that was Thomas Edison?s birthplace. I probably
could have spent an afternoon there.  I had the long-sleeved Camarillo CERT
shirt on under the maroon long-sleeved knit shirt that Heidi sent me. It
kept me warm but when I got to camp the CERT shirt was soaking wet with
sweat. During my ride I had a brainstorm about all the things that must
change if we?re to have a livable future. I came up with something the
March could do:  Start Dave Finnegan?s program *Climate Change Is
Elementary* <climatechangeiselementary.org> across the
nation?North/South/East/West. It would mean gridding the nation and
training facilitators for each section. It would put an enormous burden on
Dave, but it would spread the program across the nation.

We are staying in a 1,300-acre preserve that was once slated to be a site
of a nuclear power plant. Because it was such a long March day, and I got
to camp before those Marching, Kai asked me to help get the vegetables
chopped for stir fry, and set up the stoves in the amphitheater. It?s been
a long time since I was asked to work in the ?kitchen?. The afternoon cools
off and the sun starts to set earlier. Dinnertime went into dusk. There
were a string of Christmas lights across part of the amphitheater. Someone
plugged them in and JJ put up a tablet of newsprint and started a
presentation on Extinction. He lectured from his Laptop computer. The
amphitheater was crowded because we have had new people join us. I wasn?t
able hear or see the presentation. Someone had erected the Taj Mahal tent.
I put my sleeping gear in the tent and went to bed.

Peace, David
