A letter from Sendai (3-14-11)
(I am not acquainted with the writer, but I believe we all "know" her.) Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to have wonderful friends who are helping me a lot. Since my shack is even more worthy of that name, I am now staying at a friend's home. We share supplies like water, food and a kerosene heater. We sleep lined up in one room, eat by candlelight, share stories. It is warm, friendly, and beautiful. During the day we help each other clean up the mess in…See More

Influences on me, my family"
Bill Sell replied to Mark Miller's discussion Bikes@Work

Native garden at Bill Sell's home at Growing Native
June 27, 2010 from 2pm to 3pm
I will take a group on a tour of my garden Sunday, June 27 at 2 pm. About one hour. Long pants and socks - a good idea but not essential if you don't mind the feeling of plants against your skin. Sandals are fine.We will plunge into an urban wild space and get up close and personal with dozens of native varieties of grasses and flowers. Also see some perennials; maybe (if the seeds come through) some herbs. Bring cameras.…See More

Power Down Week at Milwaukee
June 21, 2010 at 5pm to June 27, 2010 at 11pm
It's a game, it's a challenge, It's a dare, it's a drill. it's real and it's play. It will be hard, it will be fun. It's workshops, It's a conference of neighbors, It's the best staycation you will ever have.If we don't have TV how do we entertain ourselves? if we don't have a car how do we get around? if we don't have phones or a computers how do we communicate? if we don't have gas how do we cook? A week to see how small we can make our carbon foot prints and how much we can learn together.…See More

Bill Sell commented on Erik Lindberg's blog post How the Liberal Outrage Towards BP and Offshore Drilling is Sounding Like Right Wing Talk Radio
"We woke up to this scourge of right wing radio in 1994, possibly at the moment Clinton suffered a deep setback in the fall elections. Some of us put together a forum to discuss the situation. Kathleen Dunn was our keynote speaker. Mary Kelly emceed.…"
