elijah’s adventure

What’s going on in America? Why did Kramer lose it and reach for racial slurs? Take a look for yourself.

While you’re at it, take a look at this c-span video of Kamau Kambon, who believes white people should be exterminated.

Call me naive, but I find it difficult to believe that skin colour causes friction in the USA today. All throughout elementary school, highschool, college, and Corporate America, I was never exposed to any verbal or physical skirmishes caused by race. Everything seemed so perfectly integrated until now. Does this mean that I’ve sheltered my awareness? Or does this mean there is a resurgence in the clash of “races”? Perhaps there’s a little of both.

Rob Thomson, of 14degrees.org, is in the midst of cycling from Beijing to London. Some may call him crazy, but I find him inspirational. He’s traversing a multitide of language, cultures, and landscapes. And ladies, I’m sure he’ll have extraordinarily strong legs by the time he reaches London.

He is riding the Streetmachine Gte by HP Velotechnik, an extraordinarily well designed recumbent bicycle. In fact, it’s the bike I’m riding on my solo tour from Georgia to California in 2007. I’ve included two clips, one of Rob introducing the Streetmachine, and another of Rob riding the Streetmachine.

Who needs sex, food, or learning when you can lie in a field and be mesmorized by Nature’s most exsquisite art?

Please note that this video is wholly comprised of American aircraft.
