Awash in evil the world is because the good people find it not worth it to stop it.

To my sister trapped in the American Israeli torture black site called Gaza Palestine. This sister who follows the Journey of this vehicle through beautiful California Countryside she will never see in all likelihood. My life is not happy. Thank creator. Even a moment of happiness makes me want to throw up. In a world rolling and such mystery to be happy? To be happy in a world rolling in such misery is to be spiritually dead. I much prefer physical death to spiritual death. Pretty much always have. No credit to me. To my sister in Palestine. But I am incredibly blessed to be called to immerse in what beauty there is left in the world and to try and channel that goodness outward. And it gives me joy and great pain to share it with you. My heart breaks with the torment and torture being visited on my sisters and brothers in Palestine everyday. It makes my heart break. I have gladly gone in great physical pain to Deaths door in hunger strike in Washington DC to try and make the torment of Palestine stop. To my horror what this taught me is that I could not stop it in that way. I much preferred the idea of paying my life in that way to stop the torture. And it horrifies me to share these pictures of the beauty everyday to you who are in the American Israeli prison called Palestine. But I will continue because it is the best way I know to serve creation, to channel what little goodness left there is into the world. Your loving brother forever no matter what, James

I don't remember ever being concerned about dying. I've always been concerned to be living. I recommend it. Serving from the soul in solidarity the neediest.

Pretty frequently world events bring the Russell Crowe version of Noah to mind. That God's instructions to Noah was to preserve every species except for humans. I think this is right.

To several friends who are suffering terribly. With much less Affliction James was suffering terribly through chemo and major painful cancer treatment cancer surgeries not too many years ago. After several months he had a conversation with himself like this below, and his suffering reduced gigantically. And.... when he suffers with the world's ills today he has similar conversations with himself..... James, you are going through a tremendous amount right now and I can see you're suffering a lot. I have a very strong sense that some of that suffering cannot be avoided but that if you make the choice you can avoid much of it, maybe most of it. I would atleast like to tell you what I mean so that you can make the choice. The physical impulses that your body in your situation are pouring down on you are unavailable, but how you react to them, how much attention you give to them and how much attention you devote elsewhere might be pretty significantly under your control. Oh, I don't mean it is as simple as just redirect your attention. I'm not sure anyone can do that and I'm not sure that you can. But I do think there's an answer that results in the same thing that's a little bit more specific. What I suggest you consider is that you become more aware of when your attention is understandablly going to your personal suffering. Don't feel bad about it, there's no use in that. But increase your awareness of it. And when you become aware that understandablly you are focusing your attention on your personal suffering, see if you wouldn't prefer the idea of focusing your attention and your energies no matter how abstractly, in the direction of someone you care about who's suffering even more than you. James, I know you care about the people in Palestine. Maybe when you become aware of your attention going to yourself you will decide to make the choice to focus some of that energy instead on those in Palestine who are suffering more than you. And just as you would respond to your own suffering, try and respond to theirs. Even if just on Facebook posting, commenting, reposting from your heart. Maybe study their situation a little bit more. Maybe do some planning to try and imagine how you could try and be more helpful to them. This is an example. The point is to find some population or populations that your heart can really really care about and direct your heart for them. To some degree it is likely that that will pull you from your own pain into the joy of trying to help them. And James, also remember the times when you have been suffering, and you had the wisdom to bring into your mind the face, even to make eye contact, of a Jesus carrying the cross, or a Palestinian child heroically suffering in an Israeli prison. And how almost immediately doing so placed your own suffering in it's pitiful little context, not in a way that shamed you, but that in a way that gave you tremendous immediate and sustained relief. And made you smile.

United States police force has become Gestapo, brownshirts, Nazis, supremacist thugs.. Thanks Israel. No? The exception proves the rule. When I see that there is broad-based honest aggressive policing of itself I will see that things have improved. I'm not holding my breath. We are not holding them accountable. In this we are responsible and failing them.
My self-censorship is less and less. I wonder if Trump and or his Nazi Goons will arrest and or kill me.

FAQ solar cycle RV.
Come on friends, you mean, do I carry 7 solar panels for decoration? This or some variation is the most frequently Asked question. Come on guys, respect your intelligence.
Wherever I can make the most difference to increase someone's joy, and alleviate someone suffering, on this planet being murdered by we humans. Presently that has me going to beautiful places of nature to try and channel that goodness into the world in my writing, with photographs. Yes, it is incredibly pitiful, but it's the best I can see to do. The world is dying due to the lack of one thing, enough goodness.
The forward part of the vehicle was purchased about three years ago as a prop to sit on Capitol Hill where the Congress creatures Slither from their offices over to the Capitol to vote money for fossil fuels because we don't have the technology to harness the daily dose of sun we are sent. Needing to pass this solar vehicle within inches maybe it would make it a little bit more difficult for some congressmen to choke out there lies. Probably not. But it was the best I could see to do. By August of 2016 it was clear to me that whatever good that was doing was not enough, but no change will come from Washington, and that probably no will change will come from in the country but it was more likely to come from out in the countryside so I embarked on what I thought was a quick trip. And then back to my nice warm apartment before things got too cold. But I came to think that Standing Rock North Dakota could be a Selma Moment 4 our destruction of the planet so a 1700 my trip was undertaken arriving several days after Thanksgiving 2 hours before the first blizzard. Three months there and it on the last day in handcuffs with 47 others who it also stayed. Several months later the vehicle was repaired and the journey resumed now to the West Coast to possibly Inspire an engineer here or there to take the concept and do their own version. That mission was completed by San Diego in November. The winter was spent in the Joshua Tree California area trying to discern how to help in this determined to destroy itself world. The answer that came was, use every breath to simply try and channel a little bit of goodness into the world. I see goodness, Creator, in the kindness of one person to another which is extremely rare, and in nature which still can be seen in some abundance so I am spending my time in that abundance in California studying, researching, writing, and traveling to the next beautiful place where I can work online. I won't be surprised if this constitutes the rest of my days. But the instant I see a better way to serve I'll do that.
How far can a sailboat go? It depends, right? Comfortably I average 40 or 50 miles a day. Weeks or months go by without needing to plug in. Please see the data write up below.
This custom experimental vehicle has been designed for distance. Wind drag is a major factor in range of any vehicle but on a vehicle like this the effects of wind drag are extremely apparent as with any bicycle. So I have chosen to gear it for an average speed of 11 miles an hour which reduces wind drag and also increases torque available for climbing steep climbs which it can do. We are currently crawling around the Rockies. We just completed the climb to Whitney portal which is one of the five or so most difficult bicycle climbs in the entire United States.
I am the opposite of a Christian. I attempt to be christ-like.
I made none of the components, I integrated all of the components. Currently this is a one-of-a-kind experimental vehicle, sadly. Its original intention now abandoned because it's too late to make any difference, was to inspire others to do their own version, the way the Wright brothers plane was never much of a commercial success but it inspired others to make vehicles of the type. The forward part is a structure created by a company in Durham North Carolina, Organic Transit, called the elf. The rear pop-up camper RV, my home, was created by a wonderful young man I met at Standing Rock North Dakota to Winters ago. He designed welded and constructed this miraculous thing.
I do sleep in it, every night. Wouldn’t you?
How could I not afford this? Everything I or you consume destroys the future. Virtually everything. How can I do other than live as lightly on this Earth as possible? Everything else is unspeakably hateful. And how could I be so ignorant as to not understand what a joyful way to be this is? Look at the photographs that I post. The Lilies of the Field in all their splendor. The Magnificent, the little bit left, is my office. Often for free on so-called BLM land or similar government property. Or, like tonight, $4 a night on my senior pass. Even with a full day of travel the sun gives me enough energy for oatmeal in the morning and coffee, and boiled rice and Pasta in the evening.
It could have been geared for 20 or 30 miles an hour. The vehicle was designed for efficiency and range on the Sun not for Speed. A vehicle could be designed for Speed but on the third world United States roads it would require a substantial redesign to avoid being destroyed on the next pothole. As a point of reference I understand that the fastest production automobile is one of the Tesla electric vehicles. And some owners of Tesla vehicles generate the electricity they travel with, as do I, using solar panels on the roof of their home or in their backyard.
Blue Sky energy, Genasun is the product name, manufacturers charge controllers that do exactly that. It's a wonderful company in California. Just Northeast outside San Diego.
This is a one-of-a-kind custom vehicle. To replace it would cost probably $20,000. Bear in mind, this is a mobile home, RV, long-distance solar bicycle RV. Point being at 25% of the price there is a vehicle for around town or much lower use. Electric bike conversion kits start at two three or four hundred dollars.
The vehicle has 7 100 watt solar panels. A typical solar panel, 100w, in an aluminum frame and heavy glass costs about $80 although Trump is doing what he can to increase that. The bastard. Weight is a major factor in the efficiency of a vehicle so thankfully there are handles from companies like Suaoki that way just four pounds peace and are flexible and very durable. And very well supported I might add.
Does it have a radio?
Yes, it's called a smartphone, Galaxy S6, width earbuds. It is the Navigator of this Voyage with Google Maps. If one tells Google Maps it is a bike detailed elevation information is provided which is essential for calculating range. I have an application called at voice reads me articles and or books all the time that I'm traveling.
Does it have heat?
Yes, it is called pedaling, and it has me between warm and sweating within moments of beginning a journey. Also lots of layers of clothing and several sleeping bags. Works great. Nothing additional is wanted or needed.
Does it have doors?
What cyclist would want doors? You would burn up from the Heat. But I do have vinyl that can be velcroed to close up the open areas completely in the event of extremely hostile weather. I cannot remember the last time I have used them.
