She represents New Hampshire's First District. Yesterday I called her Manchester, NH office (603 641 9536) after visiting her web site. Nowhere on her web site could I find a schedule for upcoming town-hall meetings, as she and all other members of Congress are on their summer break. Many other members of Congress have met with their constituents, but for some reason Carol Shea-Porter is ignoring me and the other residents of the First District.... 227@http://www.timcarter.com/ 2009-08-18T08:14:06-05:00 http://www.timcarter.com/carol_shea_porter_town_hall_meetings.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskTimCarter/~3/rwyrsixLrw0/us_constitution_and_maps.html I’ll never forget the things I learned when I was a Boy Scout. One of the skill sets I was most interested in happened to be mapping, maps and anything that had to do with finding your way. Without a map, it’s easy to get lost. I’ve discovered that up in New Hampshire on my own land! I have a fancy GPS unit now, but even those are reliant on batteries and satellites. Sometimes there’s no substitute for a traditional magnetic compass and a reliable printed topographic map. Once lost, it can be hard to get back home to safety.... 226@http://www.timcarter.com/ 2009-06-16T09:21:06-05:00 http://www.timcarter.com/us_constitution_and_maps.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskTimCarter/~3/F8ji4uec7Rk/riddle_view_lane_summer_sleepovers.html I grew up on Riddle View Lane in Cincinnati, Ohio in the 1960’s. My guess is that it wasn’t much different than any other street in the city. All the houses in my neighborhood were shaped just like the little green houses in a Monopoly game. My mom and dad’s house was so small, measuring just 22 by 22 feet, it could fit inside the garage at my last home.... 225@http://www.timcarter.com/ 2009-05-11T09:50:42-05:00 http://www.timcarter.com/riddle_view_lane_summer_sleepovers.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskTimCarter/~3/gAgMPkOalww/aunt_margaret.html “Let’s go visit Aunt Margaret,” my Dad said. If I’d had a mirror in front of me, there’s no doubt my eyes and grin were wider than an airplane-hanger door. Margaret was my Dad’s older sister, and she lived with my Uncle Louie in a majestic old home in North Avondale, an original suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. Aunt Margaret was a fun aunt. Trips to her house were guaranteed good times.... 224@http://www.timcarter.com/ 2009-03-27T09:09:12-05:00 http://www.timcarter.com/aunt_margaret.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskTimCarter/~3/OOCBVCXpvWA/cincinnati_enquirer.html The Cincinnati Enquirer is on life support.

The sound made by the rotors and turbine engine are very distinctive, and each time I hear it zooming overhead, I say to my kids, “Someone is dying.” It is a grim reminder of the reality of the moment.... 220@http://www.timcarter.com/ 2008-04-24T10:12:42-05:00 http://www.timcarter.com/newspaper_obituaries.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskTimCarter/~3/c9XjjLSrl0E/online_video_advertising.html If you paid attention during your high school or college Economics class, you undoubtedly were exposed to the axiom of supply and demand.
