Jewels from the river

Audubon; and I just bought seven pairs of her ear rings for my sisters, daughter, daughter-in-law, and lady editors. And a bracelet for my wife. The stuff is unbelievable! No one else is doing this.
Best,
Ted

Senate Committee Holds Hearing on OHV Use

During a June 5 hearing, the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee reviewed the implications of increasing numbers of off-highway vehicle (OHV) users on public land, reports the Wildlife Management Institute. The panel listened to representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) discuss their plans to manage public land use to reduce the impacts of OHVs.

The agencies are in the process of completing travel-management plans to direct OHV use on public land, but the BLM needs another 10 years to complete its plans.

And, BLM resource protection and enforcement...

Mr. Bush, Lead or Leave

Two years ago, President Bush declared that America was “addicted to oil,” and, by gosh, he was going to do something about it. Well, now he has. Now we have the new Bush energy plan: “Get more addicted to oil.”

Actually, it’s more sophisticated than that: Get Saudi Arabia, our chief oil pusher, to up our dosage for a little while and bring down the oil price just enough so the renewable energy alternatives can’t totally take off.
