Here’s Ted and I at the front lobby of the Cow Palace, waiting for the opening ceremonies to begin. Can you tell we’re both running on almost no sleep? Huge crowd, I’ll have some videos later of the riderless bike, and the start of the ride.

Ted and I take a break at Peet’s Coffee & Tea shop on Market, near the Castro.
(it might even be considered in Castro, the neighborhoods here are fairly small, and it’s only about two or three blocks from Castro Street.)

NASA takes a bazillion photos of launches, and this is the result of digitally enhancing that data to see things usually not visible in the heat, light, and blast of a lift-off. Full details at NASA.gov.

Ted Freitas
I recently published an interview, on QueerFresno and QueerLandia, with Ted Freitas on his upcoming participation in the 10th annual AIDS/Life Cycle, The Ride To End Aids.
The ride begins this weekend in San Francisco, and ends the following Saturday in Los Angeles. 535 miles. Ted will be live-tweeting the ride as much as possible, and you can follow him on Twitter, @tedfreitas, and read more on his blog, My Rebooted Life.
I’ll also be doing some posting on the blog myself, and I hope to link up with Ted and the riders Wednesday evening in Paso Robles.
Look for my posts at Ted’s site, My Rebooted Life, http://myrebootedlife.com, my Twitter feed @kc6yru, and here at JimmieJoe.com.

The last rollout. Space Shuttle Atlantis heads for the launch pad. This will be the last launch of the program. After this, if an American astronaut needs to get into space, he’ll have to hitch a ride with the Russians. The USA will not have a manned launch vehicle for many years into the future. Not the best planning, for a people that went from modified ICBMs to men on the Moon in ten years.

Harvey Milk Day Commentary

Here’s the text of my Guest Commentary in the Visalia Times Delta of May 20, 2011.
“My name is Harvey Milk, and I’m here to recruit you.”
Making this statement during public appearances, Harvey Milk was recruiting people to come out of the closet. He felt this action was the most important thing people in the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community could do to ensure their civil rights. If more people were aware of the gay associates, friends, family and loved ones around them, it would become impossible for most of them to continue past habits of discrimination.
Sunday, May 22, is the second annual California Harvey Milk Day. It’s a day to remind all Californians of the ability of one person to make a difference.
