A good day for health care advocacy in Asheville

WNC for Change had a health care rally in Asheville this morning and 300 people came out. That's almost twice as many as came out last fall. People are getting worried that this won't get fixed after all, and they want to tell Congress that's not acceptable.
I was the keynote speaker, telling Mike's story and noting that he was one of about 30,000 who died last year.
Rep. Heath Shuler met with about 50 of us this afternoon and assured us he wants to fix it too, but the law says it has to be defe… Continue

Talking in the rain

I was walking back from an assignment this afternoon and chatting with an older man when it started to rain. I said something about being drip-dry and he laughed and said he's lived life drip-dry all spring.
Turns out he's homeless and his camp was ransacked recently. He doesn't know who did it, but whoever did won't be punished, even if he or she is discovered, so he shrugged it off.

Courage in Iran

I've been marveling at the courage of the people in Iran, protesting in the streets a million at a time.

Things could turn very ugly there. All of the protesters are risking arrest or worse.


The cool thing is how nonviolent the protests have been so far. People are resolute but not threatening.

Highway to Health

Biking in Mills River

During my time off, I had the chance to do some biking. I am just really getting into mountain biking, so I focused on riding on some of the forest service roads in the area. One that I really liked was in North Mills River. At the campground, you take a right, I think this is FR 5000, and then drive for a bit and then take a left over the concrete bridge up to the trailhead. Take the gated forest service road to the right (it is kind of like a dirt road). It is a pretty good, gradual uphill that will give you a good workout. This is not a loop however, so go as far as you can and then turn around for a nice ride back to the parking area.
