Americans for Obama Care - http//AmericansforObamaCare

The Supreme Court  is taking up the case of health care in America tomorrow. We are living in a country where many of us are one illness away from bankruptcy; seventeen percent of us have no health insurance at all. The soaring costs of health care are untenable for individuals and businesses alike. President Obama has given us the beginning of a plan to address the issue. It depends upon all of us being covered and taking responsibility for that coverage throughout our lives, in sickness and in health. With blanket coverage the costs per person are reasonable. 

ObamaCare has been used as a pejorative by some. I decided to run in a different direction with the term and started:

Americans for Obama Care

 

I hope you'll join me and help me spread the word.

 

Thanks!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

 

(traditional gaelic blessing)

 

Wishing all of you a Happy St. Patrick's Day...

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Ireland

 

I walked this rope bridge in County Antrim, Ireland, and mid-way it has an incredible sway. By the time I took this shot my legs felt like rubber-bands. The woman at the far end took three steps and froze; someone came and talked her back. There's about an 80' drop to the water below.
(they've modified the bridge, in recent years, to make it safer)
September 1994
