Two Generations of Kayakers

On this late winter afternoon,the low gray clouds that hung over the lake this morning and cast that gloomy winter's look, lifted. The sun was warm. There was a North wind that had a bit to it at times but outdoors was the place to be.

Now, this is what I had in mind.



Where's Forward?

 There were two kayakers that I had seen on the lake earlier when I came across a guy putting in a paddle board and a father and son team getting ready to launch their trip on the lake. This team  represented two generations of the sport and for that reason, that is somewhat unusual, brings them to the blog today.

Aargh! Portage!

Missed the Demonstration but Caught the Event

In solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas staged a demonstration today. The Death of the American Dream was a mock funeral and complete with a casket. I would have liked to have been there.  But, I did happen upon the No War on Iran event.

The System was Never Broken. It was Built This Way

No War on Iran

I'm a product of the 60's. My first demonstration to attend was right in the middle of Court Street and Union under the center hung stoplight. Antioch College,the birthplace of protest, was about 80 miles North  and West of the stop light. That movement,while birthed at Antioch,  moved West to San Francisco and  became the Haight-Ashbury cradle of the demonstrations and protest of the Viet Nam War. The rest--as they say--is history. So, I remember intersections and their potential. When I saw the crowds on all four corners of Royal Lane and Greenville Avenue today, I had to stop and get some pictures of the No War on Iran event.
