(no subject)
So, in the long line of things that have crapped out on me lately my mouse joined the list. I’ve not got a new one. :)
Cold, gloomy and only saw the sun as it was setting yesterday.
I received an email last night telling me that the Delaware River Basin Commission had cancelled it’s meeting in which they were going to vote on fracking the DRB. This is excellent news but I don’t think this is the last we have heard of this nightmare. At least for now over 15,000,000 people will still have uncontaminated drinking water.
Today is going to be a busy one, so I can’t natter.

Oh, and the BLM (Bureau of Living Morons) wants to let strip mining into Bryce Canyon National Park. You can find out more by going to the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.

I find this practice of selling off, so to speak, of the public lands to mining companies disgusting.
