Hey Everyone, Check out some art by local Greens by going to the following URL. Sue http://www.sfbayoil.org/sfoa/artshow/web/index.html The links on the RIGHT column all work - the artists names. Mary Dalton's link on the left works, but none of the others (and I'm intending to have photos on the left open in new windows, too, so that will change some). Remember, this is a temporary URL.

where is Mayor Nimby Newsom on Bike Plan Injuction?
by Ted Strawser 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Amazing.... no quote from the Mayors office in the Chron story. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/06/24/BAG7QJJSR71.DTL… if this man knows how do anything it is to use the press to carry a message when he cares. no statement. no comment. no committment. there is a clear message here. he vetos healthy saturdays, then makes a mockery of bike to work day by . now ALL BICYCLE IMPROVEMENTS ARE ON HOLD AND NOTHING FROM NIBMY. maybe we are supposed to wait to hear his plans next year on bike to work day?
