Annie, Sammy, and I are on our way to the Self-Reliance Expo in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
We hope all our subscribers and other friends within driving distance will stop by and say, “Hi” tomorrow (Friday) from 10 am to 7 pm and Saturday, from 9 am to 7 pm.
Click Here for more information and directions.
Yesterday, Sammy finished editing two new videos.
The first is a tour of our offices where you can meet the staff and some of our writers.
The second video is also an office tour, but both the video and it’s star are a lot shorter.

The Colorado Springs Self-Reliance Show May 18-19 is starting to look like a Backwoods Home Magazine writers get-together. It was already shaping up to be one of the biggest gatherings of BHM writers and artists ever with the appearance of me, Don Childers, Jackie Clay, Patrice Lewis, and Amy Alton. A few days ago, Jeff Yago, who writes on energy and preparedness topics, said he plans to fly into the show from Virginia. Today Annie Tuttle, BHM’s managing editor, decided she would also attend, along with Sam Duffy, editor of BHM’s Kindle Edition.

The rain has stopped (for one day, the weather forecast says) but the roads keep falling away. My youngest son, Sam, sent me the above photo. It’s Hwy 101 going over Cape Sebastian between Pistol River and Gold Beach. I don’t know who took the photo.
Below is Hwy 101 just north of Gold Beach yesterday. It’s now open to one-lane of traffic. It came from the World newspaper’s online version.

We’ve been having a lot of rain here in the Gold Beach and Brookings, Oregon, area, with rivers at or near flood stage and many slides and avalanches occurring. My two oldest sons, Jake and Robby, tried to drive back to college today (Portland State and Oregon State University) by heading down our road, Carpenterville Road, and onto Hwy 101 to begin their 5-hour trip. They got about two miles before encountering an impassable slide, then tried the other direction and got blocked by another. So they’ll stay home another day. It’s just as well they encountered a road blockage quickly so they are stranded at home rather than out on the road.

Deadline for Issue No. 135 has just passed but we’re still not quite done with it. Another late night tonight and I think we can send it off in the morning. There’s always something that has to be tweaked. Silveira and I edited each other’s commentaries and found faults with both that had to be changed. After 23 years, deadline never really seems to change.

Big windstorm tonight and we’ve had a power blackout in my part of southwest Oregon for the last few hours. I’ve been happily working away thanks to my Humless Sentinel portable power backup system so I can finish my editorial which is due tomorrow morning.
I’ve got my computer and a light plugged into it, and have just now plugged in my Droid and electric lantern to recharge them. Very handy! I’m glad Humless decided to advertise with the magazine. Everything is completed for the next issue except my editorial and John Silveira’s Last Word column. Oh, oh! John doesn’t have a Humless. Let him explain that to Annie in the morning.

I’ve donated to Ron Paul four times during his presidential run. All small amounts, but I just felt I had to put my money where my heart was. I know he won’t win but I’m hoping he can persuade the winner, which I assume will be Mitt Romney, to embrace some Libertarian ideas when it comes to the economy.
Gingrich and Santorum aren’t interested in what Ron Paul has to say. That leaves Romney. As liberal a Republican as Romney is, I guess I have no choice but to try and influence him. Miracles can happen! Romney is a businessman, and he appears to be honest. I hope he is also courageous because it will take courage to do what has to be done, which is to allow capitalism to pick the winners and losers, not Government intervention.
If you’d like to donate and try and bring off this miracle, click here.
