Call on CofC President Hsu and Board to Support Repeal of the Heritage Act. A specific one, to be sure, but for College of Charleston folks, not a meaningless one. Charleston is a place that hangs on to its history. While there is much to learn from that history, there’s also no reason to commemorateContinue reading “Actionable Item, 17June”

Rowing, for all the things I love about it, is a frustratingly homogeneous sport.

“Innocent until proven guilty” is one of the unshakeable pillars of the American judicial system, right?

On March 13th, Breonna Taylor was shot and killed in an unannounced police raid targeted towards an unassociated person not residing at that location. For a woman who died in a drug warrant related raid, it seems that Ms. Taylor did not have the criminal background to justify the police officers’ actions. A certified EMTContinue reading “Actionable Item, 4 June 2020”

Days 29, 30, & 31: Missouri Loves Company
We pick up our adventure where we left it last, with our hero steeling himself to cross a teetering bridge hundreds of feet above a raging torrent…
Days 27 & 28: Illinois (Hillinois, Chillynois)
Trying to make the most of a rainy day in Illinois.
Day 26: Kentucky & Illinois
Another sunny morning, the second in a row, but this one vastly more frosty than the previous. The biggest problem with frost is that all that water stays stuck to things- and then melts- so it’s difficult to dry things off, even if you whack as much ice off them as possible. If you haveContinue reading “Day 26: Kentucky & Illinois”
Day 25: Kentucky, or, 💯‼️
Fantastic day! After threatening it for nearly a month, I finally got a whole century done- fine weather, flat land, and a need to atone for a day spent inside a WalMart all helped make it possible. Despite the excellent outcome, the day certainly had its ups and downs. It started out weird- onContinue reading “Day 25: Kentucky, or, 💯‼️”
Day 24: Kentucky
Gray day this morning, quickly becoming a gray and rainy day. I wish that rain didn’t mean no riding- but trying to stay on the road while cars blast by and spray me doesn’t seem like a good way to stay safe. While the rain is on, anyways, there’s no sense in setting out- everythingContinue reading “Day 24: Kentucky”
