Why is AIDS still relevant 36 years after the first case was discovered in 1981? Why do we still need to care? Are people really still getting infected? Why is SMART Ride still relevant 14 years since its inception and over 20 years since the first AIDS bicycle ride took place in California?

As the SMART Ride gears up for another year, one local resident is busy raising funds for the charity by selling artwork to customers at Vitambi Springs.

Ask questions. That’s the number 1 piece of advice Lance Hatch has for someone thinking about participating for the first time in the Smart Ride, an annual two-day 165-mile bicycle ride from Miami to Key West.

Safety questions surface in wake of popular activist’s death

If you live long enough, you may sense an errand in the maze of you, an invoice scented with some foreign urgency may cross the smooth desktop of your later days. A spring whose source is deep within the cleft rock of you floods your dreams, soaking your repose with the anxiety reserved for those who have cared much but done less.
