I was honored, privileged, and humbled to attend the Communities Over Highways summit in Minneapolis/St. Paul last week. Thank you to Our Streets and America Walks for the opportunity. I left inspired, resolute, and quite overwhelmed at the immensity of the task before us. And just today the House of Representatives moved to rescind $3 billion for reconnecting communities divided by highways from the Biden administration's infrastructure bill. The work continues. Resist.

Audiode 80: Innocence
As the train rolls by like our conscious lives. I can kinda swallow and breathe again and Ibuprofen is starting to put a dent in it. Even the Daily show says they made Covid in a Chinese lab now. Joe Rogan was right all along? I don’t mean to hop on a trend. I don’t need to see Adam Duritz stirring up a glaze in a bowl and talking about it. The ravages of time. You’re looking at something that does not exist anymore. It’s not there. It’s gone. A conscious social break slash detox. Everything that’s old has become new again. The human experience is a quite diverse quilt of sparkling madness and sadness. President Trump is back and the golden age of America has most definitely begun. We gotta stay and fight for it. The storms of outrage and fury and anger blow right by. Rosie O’Donnell is a coward.

Audiode 79: Don't Panic
I know it’s just late stage capitalism hunger games lord of the flies squid game out there. It is all good. Acquiesce. The rebirth of humanity. No thing at all can avoid the changes coming. Rule 1: Don’t Panic. Rule 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally. To put on my pants and pull it together, schedule my eating so I’m not crabby, and really go out there…you gotta give me a reason to be out there, man. Funny.

Audiode 78: 2025 Still Alive!
2025: Still Alive! Totally failed in getting an Audiode out in December. This thing is going to be embarrassingly and impossibly out of date. Happiness vs. Fulfillment. Get through it because it will and does get better and can get better. December is a real humdinger of a month. How about gratitude for what you have? Elections have consequences and the people have chosen. I have been wrong before.
