Time to go for my walk. I don’t know if I’ll stop for a couple of beers or not. I’m trying to live within my budget. I can walk down toward the University of Pittsburgh or in the opposite direction toward Bloomfield, Pittsburgh’s “Little Italy”. Since the sun is not shinning my walking won’t be as much fun but it’s still great exercise.
I found out from the Internet that the Penguins had won game four…The State of Pennsylvania is still over three billion dollars in the red and raising taxes may be the only way out…The Pittsburgh Three Rivers Art Festival starts today down at The Point downtown.

Politics, Young People And The Internet
June 5, 2009 — pittsburghflashfictiongazetteOne thing the Internet is changing is politics. One reason why Obama was elected was because of the Internet. The Internet brought him voters and money.
I was watching the news on public television and there was a story about a 20-year-old man and his young friends who are players in the politics of Lebanon in the Middle-East because of the website they use to comment on Lebanese politics.
Young people have grown up with the world wide web. They know how to use it. They are using it to make their voices heard and to impact the life not only of the United States but of the world.
The Internet is also impacting literature. If you are a writer be sure to read the short stories in the sidebar on the right under “Great Flash Fiction To Read”.
