Tideland, the movie, has begun filming and is directed by Terry Gilliam. (Monty Python member, and he directed 12 Monkeys, and Fisher King, --2 of my all time favorites). It's taken from the macabre gothic novel by Mitch Cullin about an abandoned young girl’s life and fantasies in rural Texas. Currently filming in Regina, Saskatchewan, it teams Gilliam again with Jeff Bridges and is scheduled for a 2006 release. On my "Must See" list along with Johnny Depp's The Diving Bell & The Butterfly, scheduled for 2005.

On October 25, 1984, friends broke into Richard Brautigan's house in Bolinas, California to find his body next to a bottle of alcohol and a .44 caliber gun. It was assumed that he had committed suicide. Not reading
his Trout Fishing In America back in the day was almost enough to get you kicked out of the hippie club.

Freecycling, giving items away for free, and WNC Barter Exchange in the Asheville and Western North Carolina area are good ideas, but haven't taken off as well as they should as yet.
There are so many stories from people who've moved to Asheville that there is now a website called, Asheville Calling.
US finishes a strong second in Iraq War.
