In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Do Bears? 

Do bears hibernate in the woods? When I was a kid I was taught they did hibernate. Later I learned they didn't. I just searched the web and tried to find the "true" answer. Various scientific articles had different answers. *sigh* Wikipedia had different answers. In the article about hibernation it said bears didn't hibernate; in the article about bears, it said they did. I pointed out the error of their ways. I love Wiki. According to researchers at the journal Nature, Wiki is as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica—both had about the same rate of errors. Yes, indeedy, the ole Brit is not always accurate. You heard it here...last.

Some good news: The Senate did not extend some parts of the the Patriot Act. You can see how your Senators voted in the linked article. I would encourage you to contact your Senators and let them know how you feel about their vote—especially the Republicans who voted against it. They need to be encouraged as they step away from the crazies. Some bad news: Speaking of crazies, as we suspected "they" have been spying on us, and "they" is the Bushy, and he's copping to it, saying he'll do anything to protect us. Patriarchal bullshit. You do not protect us by spying on those who disagree with you, you fascist little wanna-be dictator.

Anyway, I got things to do. We're on the road tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous. If you'll remember last year we got in a car accident on the first day of our trip to AZ. (See links to Under the Tucson Moon to the right.)

So from now until when I get home, maybe even until after the operation, I won't be posting much news about the world. It'll probably mostly be about me, moi, and me. My intention is to go to AZ, heal, rest, write, hug my sweetie, research the jaguar, hike, and take photos. Create tenemos and allow for healing. We'll see what the universe thinks of my plans.

So if you come here for the ranting and raving, I may be short on that for a while. For Solstice, there's a link to the right and down for Solstice Stories. Dragon Pearl is a good holiday story too.

Talk atcha soon.

I think the hibernation experts should wake up and get their stories straight.

Just saying.
