With Intent To Travel

I travel again. In the month of May, 2014, exactly 3 months to the day from now, I will depart New York City for Canada by rail, destination Fairbanks. There is no set timetable, except that I will begin the adventure on May 13th and will be on the British Columbian West Coast by May 31st. This is due to VIA Rail, Canada's national rail system, having obfuscated, substandard travel rules, rendering my 21-day rail pass useless after their "high season" begins on June 1. 

Pictured: Me, in three months (I'm in the second car).

From there, I will likely spend time in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and Los Angeles before flying to Fairbanks. My initial hope was to take a ferry on the Alaskan Marine Highway System (AMHS) from Bellingham, Washington to Whittier, Alaska and then take Alaska Rail to Fairbanks, but the ferry, sadly, would cost upwards of $550, which is not in my budget. 

An in-depth itinerary is forthcoming, but my expected journey will be as follows: 

New York, NY > Montreal, QB > Toronto, ON > Winnipeg, MB > Churchill, MB > Jasper, AB > Vancouver, BC > Seattle, WA > Portland, OR > Los Angeles, CA > Fairbanks, AK > ??? 

More soon,

The Time Oxford City Council Unanimously Voted to Approve My Amendment to the City's Codified Ordinances.

 My Dearest Fans, Followers, and Otherwise,


They call me "The Legislator". Last night, Oxford City Council voted 6-0, none abstaining, to pass my amended version of Oxford Codified Ordinance 923.16(a), thus banning injection wells within city limits. This is all I know of the proceedings as I was not in Oxford to enjoy my first (of many) legislative victory, but I'm sure there was cheering, applauding, and comparable fanfare immediately following the vote (again, I do not have all the answers).

Thus ends the saga of this law, for now, and the life and times of Tyler Elliott at Miami University.

I would like to leave you, now, with one of my greatest inspirations:

Thank you for following my journeys through this grand political experiment.

Yours,

Tyler "The Legislator" Elliott
