In response to the policies of the Bush administration, I now follow politics much more closely than ever before. I became a regular listener of Air America Radio when it began in April 2004. In the Twin Cities metro I listen on 950 AM. The web page and blog are at Air America Radio. And you can listen online at Straight Talk Radio
Additional sources of information include Wendy Wilde's web site, Media Matters for America, Liberal Oasis,and factcheck.org,.
I check the news and weather daily at WCCO in the Twin Cities, both online and Channel 4 television news. Then hop over to KARE 11 to round out the current goings on in the metro area.
I am a member of Minnesota Public Radio. I listen to MPR in the car and frequently visit the MPR web site. My next stops are CNN and MSNBC news.

For the Millenium celebration, I enjoyed a leisurely vacation in Acapulco. Planning for travel safety was easy. For truly safe travel, Explore Minnesota offers plenty of fun and interesting things to do much closer to home. Popular Minnesota tourist spots are included on the Nisswa and Brainerd web sites. I sometimes read the news at the Brainerd Daily Dispatch online to keep up with what's going on in that area.
Job's Daughters of Minnesota has a web page. I have neglected the Job's pages in the Friends section of this site, but I will try to work on the Bethel history over the summer.
Many gorgeous pictures of our earth are online at this NASA site. This nighttime shot of the lights around the world is especially cool.
The Dalai Lama visited Minnesota in May 2001. I was able to attend his public address at the University of Minnesota. I was impressed by his point that our future depends upon our ability to have compassion today. He explained that by having compassion for others we help preserve the opportunity for there to be compassion toward us and our world home.
