Quote of the Week
"When the gas finally runs out, even the thickest petroleum addict knows that he and his land yacht will follow the dinosaurs into the tar pits of history. Seconds after the final gallon of gas becomes the last gasp of blue smoke from a tailpipe, hordes of vengeful cyclists will descent mercilessly upon these dethroned kings of the road, spiriting their wives and children away in BOB trailers to heavily fortified organic bean-sprout farms where they will toil without respite as concubines, serfs, and business-journal editors." -- Patrick O'Grady, Bicycle Retailer & Industry news, May 1, 2007

Take a trip with us across the country—the real country. We've been to the four corners of America looking for the best rural counties. First we looked at the numbers (education, crime, health care, etc.) and then at what the numbers can't tell us. These 300 counties, spread throughout every region of the country, have more than just great statistics going for them. They're scenic, peaceful, and in their own way are all perfect for living the American dream. These counties are the Best Places to Live in Rural America.

Stats about all US cities - relocation info, maps, race, income, photos, education, crime, weather, houses, etc.

Timothy Fay, Publisher/Printer, Anamosa, Iowa

When I returned to the Midwest from school in 1975 I could find no Iowa publication that addressed the issues that interested me in any kind of critical way. Things literary, historical and environmental were touched on in the press, but in that mainstream and too brief way that newspapers, mostly by necessity, must succumb to."

Sea Change : About

Sea Change : About: "Should everything dance to humanity’s tune, or does such a self-important view lead to the destruction of life on earth?

This question is addressed by the performance piece SeaChange: Reversing the Tide."


Written and performed by Payne and Harrow, and including the poetry of Shakespeare, Shelley, Robert Frost, Wendell Berry, Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver, and others, SeaChange: Reversing the Tide offers an exposé of the consequences of humanity's current indifference to natural laws.
