There were hundreds of protesters and they only arrested aboriginals. Most protesters cannot afford good legal council but these companies have top lawyers. So they fine the protesters who then appear in court and pay the fine and told to stay out and off the land. My organization, being non-profit, can represent them at a very minimal fee and we are having charges dismissed. We are still heavily involved in this case, representing others after Frank Morrison. Frank got all the aboriginals invovled and Frontenac didn't like that, wanted to "teach" him a lesson. But we did a good job representing him, they didn't have a case anyways (it's called a slap suit). It sickens me how judges, lawyers and authorities fine and threaten "public protesters" when they have no base for their charges. People have a right to protest.

The Crossroads...HA I never even thought of that. Wow, I might skip New Orleans this round and do a few more short stops. I will let you know what I find at the gravesites. I love the US for all their state parks. AD...I'm a Gone With the Wind fan and would love to see Georgia. One day. Thanks for all the really awesome suggestions. My adventure have changed a great deal since this morning

Yes' date=' the French Quarter. If you like rowdy college kids staggering around drunk all night long, then New Orleans is the place for you.[/quote'] That sounds like hell. I wont be partying though and will probably be there during the week. Maybe I will only spend one day there and stop in Austin. Savannah was another place I really wanted to see...but a little out of the way.

Yeah...I thought about avoiding New Orleans...but I've always wanted to go. The main tourist spots are where? Bourbon street?

I've never been but will diving through and camping all the way. Any other suggested spots that I shouldn't miss while in that area? I plan on hitting up New Orleans and I would love to see Austin...a friend told me it's fantastic. Maybe San Antonio.

I'm going to Nashville too this summer. Then to Memphis to put some things into perspective

geek forum please jk

I just lost all m' picnic spirit.

So I guess you weren't being tested in Mexico? Better luck next time!

[color:green]Good Luck

Mmmm cucumber with dill or mint. That's what I'm talking about.

Good For you, when will you be back?

We represented Frank Morrison in that trial. Thank god it started getting the attention it needed...but I don't know how they will stop Frontenac Ventures. I really really dislike Justice Cunningham.

A friend just sent me these two...I would modify them a little. Avocado Soup INGREDIENTS: 2 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced 1 tablespoon chopped shallots 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream salt and pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 tomato - peeled, seeded and diced DIRECTIONS: Puree avocado in a blender or food processor until smooth. Sautee chopped shallots in olive oil until tender but not brown; set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk together avocado with chicken stock, heavy cream and shallots until smooth. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg; adjust seasonings to taste. Chill for at least half an hour before serving. Garnish with diced tomato. Chilled Beet Soup INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 cups sour cream 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 small onion 1 cup cooked beets 1 cup crushed ice DIRECTIONS: Place sour cream, lemon juice, onion and beets into a food processor or blender and puree until mixture is smooth. Add ice or cold water, chill and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.

I really want to get into cold soups this summer. Any good recipes you want to share? I have some cucumber soup recipes...but haven't tried them yet. I would love a tried and true recipe.

I wish I had not opened this thread.

Yes Happy Mothers day...I love my mom, at 4'9" I think that she could still take me. Mothers make the world go round, I especially wish a happy mothers day to all the new mothers out there and to all the single mothers out there...I hope you have a really great day and that there are people around you who really appreciates you.

Hahaha AD, Mythos Spa & Beauty Salon, I've heard was good. Don't get the relaxing hot stones...it's crap. Good luck!

I know it was. I lose hope.

I just started reading Clapton the Autobiography, and it’s pretty great. I never did get really into Clapton, but he writes really well. Anyone else read it?

[color:red]Happy Birthday

Pretty now, wait till fall when the weeds are overgrown and there are dead fish everywhere. Once I counted 15 between the laurier and pretoria bridge on a run. bleh
