Be prepared to walk up to 1-2 miles to and from observation points.
Participants will need to provide their own transportation between locations and may need to purchase a day-use permit at the state park. The specific route and locations will be shared at the start of the program. Carpooling is encouraged.
Gear: Bring binoculars (two spotting scopes and a few binoculars will be available) and appropriate shoes (please no flip flops). The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable. This event will take place primarily outdoors.

Director Jonathan Demme captures the frantic energy and artsy groove of Talking Heads in this concert movie shot at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in 1983. The band’s frontman, David Byrne, first appears on an empty stage, armed with only an acoustic guitar, and is gradually joined by bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz, keyboardist Jerry Harrison and a cadre of backup singers as they perform the band’s hits, culminating in an iconic performance featuring Byrne in an enormous suit.

Bring what you need: blankets, chairs, drinks and/or snacks. Be prepared to get up and dance! Costumes are encouraged.

Let’s keep trying in a small county

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Let’s keep trying this in a small town/county, meeting once a week for a civil discussion. There will be a zoom meeting every Friday at 9AM and every Saturday at 10AM for “reds”, “blues”, and “in-betweens”. We’ve grown to a group of 8, but still limited to us 5 “blues” and “in-betweens”. We really would like some “reds” to join in. “Blues” sometime stereotype “others” as stupid and evil. It’s absolutely not the right thing to do, but sometimes it’s hard to stop unless “others” step up and represent themselves. Simple ground rules, 1. Everybody brings their best manners. 2. Nobody talks for more than 4 minutes at a stretch. 3. Nobody comes to win an argument or change somebody’s mind. 4. Listening is as important as speaking. I’d like to say this was all my idea, but I was inspired by option 5 of the Braver Angels “Rise for America” program. braverangels.org/rise/ Here’s the link for zoom meeting. If anybody is interested in different time/day contact Jim Heffernan at codger817@gmail.com The invite link for Friday 9AM meeting is us06web.zoom.us/j/82147366055?pwd=VTU1UWVzYnUxOC8zWE1qRUkxRUJhUT09
