Here and There
Tonight we are in Holbrook, Arizona, base town for the Petrified Forest National Park, staying with our park ranger friend Kip. Last night we stayed in Gallup, New Mexico with a young doctor for Indian Health Services, an avid biker with solar panels on his roof. Tomorrow we ride 85 more miles into Flagstaff, where we will have a rest day as Will flies to and from Nashville for a friend’s wedding.

Senator Brownback (Ks) got a provision in the financial reform bill that says companies are require to report that minerals from the Congo are not funding military activitiies. it should bring accountability and transparency to the supply chain of minerals used in manufacturing of many electronic devices. So you see, you boys are having an impact already. Brownback did a good thing by getting this into the bill but of course he then voted against the bill. He’s a Republican, of course!
