The Annual Hamburger Summit. There is no political barbecue quite like the Hamburger Summit, held jointly each year by VDB (Vermont Daily Briefing) and those of us here at GMD (Green Mountain Daily).
Some call us a motley crew, but here we are. I couldn't get hold of this photo to put it up with Julie's post picnic post, so get the whole story from Julie here on GMD. |
| Once again, the Hamburg Summit, Blogger's Picnic was a special event. The weather held and this was one of the best weather days we've had for this event.
Our newer GMD members Sue Prent and BP, brought tons of food, and BP's wife Amy relieved me from my time on the grill. Julie wowed us all with banjo music.
Sue, you promised to share your special deviled egg recipe.
Linda from the NE Kingdom asked me to post two links regarding TMI and the new nukes proposed with federal loan guarantees, so Linda, here are the links:
The Three Myths of the Three Mile Island Accident
And, the AP1000 Nuclear Design Flaw Addressed by Arnie Gundersen Expert to NRC Safety Committee (ACRS)
Lastly to those who sometimes claim that GMD'ers are hiding behind phony pen names, that's just not true. If you had attended any of the other Hamburg Summits, you would have met the rest of the GMD motley crew who's family or work commitments sadly precluded their attendance at the 2010 Summit.
I'm wishing you all a wonderful summer. And, thanks Philip Baruth from Vermont Daily Briefing for organizing this years' event and to Don Shall for the great GMD group photo. |
