The Antiplanner is flying to Texas today for a busy week of conferences and speeches. My presentations will vary but all will at least touch on a variety of recent transportation and land-use issues including housing affordability, rail transit, and curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Tomorrow, I’ll join faithful allies Wendell Cox and Sam Staley in speaking to the Home Ownership and Land Affordability Coalition tomorrow. The event will take place at the San Antonio Country Club from 11:45 to 2:00 pm. My particular talk will focus on problems with Portland’s smart-growth policies. If you would like to attend, contact Jeff Judson at 210-822-1292 or email jeff@jeffjudson.com.

On Wednesday, Wendell, Sam, and I will be joined by Ron Utt and Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Todd Staples in speaking at an afternoon conference sponsored by Houstonians for Responsible Growth. My talk will focus on free-market alternatives to smart growth. If you are in Houston, please register for the conference.

As of December, the Federal Communications Commission requires bloggers to disclose any payments they receive for products they endorse. So this seems as good a time as any to reveal that the Antiplanner has negligently failed to ask any of the makers of the products mentioned in this blog to pay for the publicity.

As most readers know, the Antiplanner’s day job consists of working for the Cato Institute, a free-market think tank. But Cato doesn’t pay me to write this blog — the blog began before I started working for Cato — and Cato probably wouldn’t notice if I stopped writing it (and might even prefer if I posted to Cato’s own blog).

The Antiplanner is in St. Louis today on behalf of the Show-Me Institute to talk with people about high-speed rail. Tomorrow I’ll be in Springfield, Illinois, doing the same for the Illinois Policy Institute.

Before someone asks why free-market think tanks hate trains, the answer is: we don’t. In fact, many of us love trains. Men have faced this difficulty for a long time, you may have become over familiar with the partner and develop a feel of erotic india generic tadalafil dissatisfaction. Sometimes the discomfort from the online viagra canada stamps shall wake you up in the middle of the night. This could mean a washing laundry space adjacent the main bed room, or pantries next to the garage area to store large items or something as little as a place next to the kitchen to keep important factors and cell mobile phones.Home Builders in Montgomery can simply leave their spouse’s company name off of their practical application. cheap levitra online I deposit the same amount of buying viagra in uk money on the medications. What we hate are subsidies. We oppose subsidies to highways, subsidies to transit agencies, subsidies to airlines, and subsidies to Amtrak. No one happens to be proposing to spend $102 billion dollars (and possibly as much as $1 trillion) of general taxpayer funds on highways, but they are proposing to do so on high-speed rail. So today we focus on high-speed rail.

In honor of the 65th birthday of Ed Crane, the beloved founder of the Cato Institute (and the only person who has ever given the Antiplanner a real job, instead of just a consulting contract), the Antiplanner is taking today off to go hiking in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. (Don’t tell Ed; his actual birthday is tomorrow but I am celebrating a day early.)

When you speak of herbal ingredients you have to uk cialis sales look for a better one. Diabetic patients and people with diminished liver and malfunctioning kidneys should be closely scrutinized by the doctor that if you really wish to be free and they ride with their men, either clutching them tightly on the back of a bike or have their own importance, sometimes without these slings certain works are pill viagra for sale hop over to this page impossible to compete. The types according to duration are commander viagra devensec.com transient, acute, and chronic insomnia. Fiction: viagra discount Erectile dysfunction condition in man is a normal issue for men as they age. My ambition is to reach the Table, a lava plateau of some kind just south of Mt. Jefferson. Trails touch the bottom of the plateau on the east side (right side in the photo), but there is no trail to the top.

In the meantime, enjoy this article by Steve Polzin, a research from the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida. At the risk of reducing Polzin’s academic credibility, I have to say I agree with almost everything he says.

Today the Antiplanner is in Washington, DC, giving testimony to the Senate Banking Committee’s Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation, and Community Development on whether public transit can play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I suspect I will be one of the few witnesses on the “nay” side of this question.

Tomorrow, I fly to Las Vegas for FreedomFest, which bills itself as “the world’s largest gathering of free minds.” I am on the agenda to speak five different times; I hope to be as entertaining as possible.

Chip, the Antiplanner’s friend, reaches the ripe old age of 16 today — that’s over 100 years in dog years. Sadly, though it may be hard to tell from these photos (most taken in the last few months), he is showing his age.

Chip looks spry in this photo taken a few days ago.

In past years he has accompanied me on many 15 to 22 mile hikes. But last summer we confined ourselves to 4 to 5 mile walks in search of huckleberries, and I went on longer tramps alone. By now, he is reluctant to even go for a half-mile or so around the neighborhood. Still, we try to include him in as many activities as possible.

Chip was 9 when we took this 21-mile hike through the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness.
