Happy New Year
Best wishes from the Antiplanner to all my faithful friends and loyal opponents. I hope you had a good year this year and that 2011 turns out to be even better. I know I’ve featured my late friend, Chip, here three times already this year, but I’m going to indulge myself and do so just […]
Welcome to the Blogosphere
Martin Engel is a typical northern Californian who says he is “not a Libertarian or absolute free market idealist.” But he has become skeptical of high-speed rail, and through his email list has kept people up-to-date on the various shenanigans at the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Now he has started a blog, High-Speed Train Talk, […]
Seasons’ Greetings
The Antiplanner is taking tomorrow off for the holiday. So today I wish a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, fabulous Festivus, or whatever is your holiday of choice to all my faithful allies and loyal opponents. We have a lot of snow here this year and I took this photo at nearby Lake Creek last Sunday. […]
Antiplanner Presentation
On December 11, the Antiplanner gave a presentation to the Elbert County Conservative Breakfast Association, a Tea-Party-like group in Colorado, and one of the members of the audience posted it on line. The introduction is by Tom Peterson, who also happens to be the director of the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association, to which the Antiplanner […]
Happy Thanksgiving
The Antiplanner wishes everyone a happy holiday. This year the Antiplanner is thankful for having had the company of Chip the Wonder Dog for more than 17 years. The photos of Chip that I’ve previously posted here were mostly taken in the digital age. I recently spent a couple of days scanning many of the […]
Back in the Air Again
The Antiplanner is flying today to Helena, Montana, to speak at a Montana Policy Center forum for state legislators. I’ll be back Wednesday and I hope I won’t miss too many days of blogging this week.
Back in the Air Again
Today the Antiplanner is flying to Boston and MIT, where I will be one of a series of “distinguished speakers” on transportation issues. My presentation will be at 12:30 pm in the Stratton Student Center, W20-307. On Wednesday, the Cato Institute will present two events, both of which will compare the Antiplanner’s free-market views with […]
Flying to Seoul Today
The Antiplanner is flying to Seoul, Korea, today to speak at a conference tomorrow (Thursday local time) on conflict management and collaborative governance. Apparently, someone heard about the Forest Options Group, a committee of environmentalists, timber industry leaders, and Forest Service officials that I helped organize in the late 1990s. The group urged the Forest […]
Back in the Air Again
The Antiplanner is flying to Orlando today for the eighth annual Preserving the American Dream conference. I’ll also be traveling for the following two weeks through October 7. Postings during this time may be light, especially if I can’t find good internet connections.
Back on the Road Again
The Antiplanner spent most of this week in Glacier National Park attending the annual convention of the Great Northern Railway Historical Society. This is the 100th anniversary of the creation of Glacier Park, which was strongly promoted by Louis Hill, the son of James J. Hill, the builder of the Great Northern Railway. Under Louis’ […]
Server Problems
Readers may have noticed that the Antiplanner was down Wednesday morning and almost all day Thursday. Apparently, our web host was completely down as I couldn’t even access their web site. Does anyone have any recommendations for a new web host? I am backing up the entire web site so I don’t have time to […]
Back in the Air Again
The Antiplanner is in Nashville today speaking to the Tennessee Road Builders Association. Contrary to the claims of some, this is a rare event for me; I think I’ve only spoken to one road builder association in the past, and that was close to ten years ago. I won’t actually speak until this afternoon, so […]
