My (temporary) farewell to DU..

[Hawkeye-X]

I am taking a break from DU for 3 months starting next Tuesday, until the end of December. I've grown pretty weary of the ugly battles of the primaries.

I just hope Al Gore will be jumping in the nomination process and soon. I just hope he will announce after he wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

I will *not* have any Internet access for 3 months either. I'll just get my news from the local media and believe maybe 1% of the bullshit.

I love you and I will be thinking of you every single day.

I will be back before Christmas.

Your local Dems and progressive issue groups could really use this kind of help.

10. No internet for 3 months!! DUDE! I'd go nuts!

Hell, I have a dialup account for just in case my satellite connection goes out. Which it does sometimes in heavy rain or clouds.

Take care of yourself Hawkeye... and just remember, don't believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see...

PEACE!

14. My break was amazingly helpful.

May yours be as well.

And please, please, please come back when it suits you to do so.

Safe travels, within and without.

:toast:

P.S. A good project: take detailed notes of every bit of seeming-bullshit you hear and see over three MSM-only months...and then we can compare and contrast...and if that ain't a teaching tool, I don't know what is.

I'd be happy to help. Either way, Godspeed to you, sir.

[Hawkeye-X]

18. I'll do that, Will.

That should be an interesting experience - at least where I'll be will have newspapers and TV at the armpit of Texas.

I had made a pledge of not using the 'Net for 3 months... let's see how long it lasts.

Working on a personal project there.

17. Breaks are good.

I took a four month break from April to August. Come back refreshed. And I certainly understand wanting to avoid primary fever.

[AZBlue]

19. Have a good vacation.

Just don't forget to come back! :D
