Yup, we’re prepping for the big Knoxville trip — we’re leaving at the butt-crack of dawn on Friday! But that’s not all; it never is. 
There’s even more in the mix this week!
- The Freak Accident
Josh Alves and I are guest-hosting TFA while Jeremy Zehr is out camping with his family. Look for the new episode later this week! - Bookmooch
This site’s only been live for about two weeks, but what a site it is! You get points for mailing books (for free) to members, and spend those points by “mooching” books off of other members. The only expense is the sender’s shipping costs. What a way to build (and clean up) your library! - The Citizen Squid Project
I’m one of five members in this pilot program; I can’t share all the details, but we’re working on making Squidoo better and better!
So since I’m so busy this week, about all I can pass your way is a few links and such. Oh, and here’s something political:

Ramos-Compean Info Update
Andy Ramirez, Chairman of Friends of the Border Patrol testified before the House Judiciary Committee and requested that Congress launch an investigation and conduct a hearing on the case of the U.S. Government vs U.S. Border Patrol Agents Ignacio “Nacho” Ramos and Jose A. Compean. Due to continued public outcry, the House Judiciary Committee has agreed to do both as requested by Mr. Ramirez on behalf of the agents and their families. In addition, FBP has launched the official “Ramos-Compean Legal Defense Fund,” which has their authorization and support. We have also launched our “Pardon The Agents” campaign and ask that President George W. Bush pardon the two agents.
FriendsOfTheBorderPatrol.com is the official website authorized by the agents and families to present information. We will be posting a new section on the website specifically addressing this case and how the public can help. The Ramos-Compean section is near completion and has the full support of Agents Ramos, Compean and their families We will soon post an electronic donation button for credit card contributions.
It’s quite clear what has taken place, two agents who should have been decorated and commended for their service to this nation were guilty of doing their jobs and not following Bush Administration orders of “standing down,” which this case demonstrates includes illegal aliens, terrorists, and now drug smugglers.
See ya later!
