Aren't you glad your tax dollars are going to worthwhile activities?

Pandragon found in TIME that

Administration sources tell TIME that employees at the Department of Homeland Security have been asked to keep their eyes open for opportunities to pose the President in settings that might highlight the Administration's efforts to make the nation safer. The goal, they are being told, is to provide Bush with one homeland-security photo-op a month.

Spending absolutely no tax money, I plan to watch the sunrise from Lookout Mountain in Golden on Saturday (Equinox). If you would like to join me, I plan to leave my apartment in Golden at 5:15. If you'd like to wake up in said location let me know so we can make sure you have something to sleep on more comfortable than carpet. Green Sabbat will celebrate Equinox at a more reasonable hour in Boulder by making omlettes and doing ritual in the back yard. I'm not sure how open the event will be, but if you're interested, let me know and you should be able to attend.

More soon.
