The Blue Ribbon Team is kind of a hub for the various projects under the umbrella of the Cernunnos Foundation (the company, not the website- although it is involved). There will be information from a variety of different sources… and different is the key.
On this page you may be subjected to my art, nature posts, permaculture, politics, videos, or whatever else comes down the pike. I hope you enjoy, but if you don’t I do not imagine you will stick around long enough for me to know.
