the new guy on the block

Howdy,

My name is Jon Boyd, a new blogger. I've done some volunteer work ar the HCDP office, and I've just started volunteer work for Barbara Ann Radnofsky. I've returned to U of H (a few decades late) to complete a degree in philosophy.

My greatest interests are urban planning and local transportation, but I will be compiling any news which might be of interest for those of us advancing democratic causes.

I hope to hear from y'all soon.

Glad to be Home Open Thread

Just returned from a week in the blue state of New York. I have a lot of thoughts about Rove, the Texas Lege and the Patriot Act, but not tonight, so discuss among yourselves. Here are a few links that I haven't had time to digest yet:
