Thanks so much for your support. It’s very much needed. I’ll be back to read your blog!

Thanks for visiting and commenting. I was a young trainee aboard one of the tall ships in Newport in 1976. Kind of charted the course of the rest of my life.

I checked out your site, sent a message and forwarded it on to a fewer others. Sounds like a step in the right direction. Thanks for making me aware of it.

Great post…and blog!!

I came here by way of Brian Clark’s great easy on CopyBlogger. But first, I’d like to say that i read your personal story with interest. I’m a native Rhode Islander, just a couple of years younger than you. My parents loved the sea and I remember the Tall Ships coming into Newport Harbor for the Bicentennial 31 years ago. I remember him also telling me that when he was a child in the ’30′s there were dolphins in Narragansett Bay.

But I digress a little there.

I’m working with a coalition to make sure Congress sends the president a strong energy bill with meaningful changes for our environment and planet. This legislation would be a monumental step toward stopping global warming. Please go to http://www.energybill2007.org and sign the petition.

The bill they are about to pass includes the best fuel economy standards ever (35 mpg by 2020) and a renewable electricity standard (15% by 2020) that guarantees the growth of renewable, clean energy. But there is a chance these two key advances won’t make it through to the final bill. This is our chance for real progress, so don’t let Congress back down! Thanks!J

Happy Blog Action Day! Make sure you blog something for the environment today!
