Let's see anyone need some paper or maybe a new road? It's just a few trees. No one will even notice.

Administration Overhauls Rules for U.S. Forests

Oh but wait...he says he is "Protecting the Environment".

“Our duty is to use the land well, and sometimes, not to use it at all. This is our responsibility as citizens; but, more than that, it is our calling as stewards of the Earth,” said the President. “Good stewardship of the environment is not just a personal responsibility, it is a public value. Americans are united in the belief that we must preserve our natural heritage and safeguard the land around us.”

For months... hell...for years I've been wondering and playing with various ways to answer the question, "How the hell can I organize and keep better track of all of the interesting web sites that I find in my daily web surfing?" For a time, I kept a blog roll on this site, but I found that to be distracting to the overall content and wasn't a good way of finding the links when I needed them.

Enter del.icio.us. if you haven't heard about it, get with it. It will change the way you keep and find information on the web, of the ordinal of google.

Just overhead, I feel a cool breeze through the bathroom vent. It seems, the wind was so strong it was swaying the building, not the water.

Then, as I was procrastinating things by sitting in the the chair in our living room, I looked out the window and watched the television antenna and direct tv satellite dish sway to the wind on the roof across the street.

Then I watched the clouds zooming past, reminding me most things are out of my control and I am just a spot on this speck of rock hurtling through the universe.
