I will start this since I have had absolutely NO luck getting anyone to do any of the work.

I would like to see a blogmeet of Midwest Bloggers, though of course anyone would be welcome to attend, and I’m thinking the 23. 24, 25 of June, or the 15, 16, 17 of July. This is a suggestion only, I need to know who can come and when.

My very tentative plan of activities would involve arriving at Chicago Midway on the friday evening, dinner for whosoever can attend that evening at Klas or someplace similar. Saturday would be a range day either in a local Illinois club or a local Indiana club. Outdoors preferred. Potentially with a BBQ. Saturday evening dinner at someplace close to the city for everyone’s convenience. Sunday morning brunch and everyone hits the road for home. Anyone got any ideas otherwise? Please leave comments or post on your own blog.

UPDATE: IN CASE I DID NOT MAKE THIS CLEAR, THESE ARE “SUGGESTED” DATES. If you are not available, let me know the dates you ARE available. I want as many as possible to make it. So PUT THE DATES THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU IN COMMENTS.

broad: I’m already figuring you’ll ride with me.

Grass by Carl Sandburg

PILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.

I am the grass.
Let me work.

For all those under the grass, and those yet above it who made a difference- and everyone made a difference who served or serves still:

Remember.
