Trav and were down walking the Yellowstone in the valley this morning and the river has started to go down...we also saw the 1st salmon fly! (A good sign.) It is getting better!
Why Deanna surely you don't mean the same papers spreading their own version of the truth, or more likely bilge, about the environmental impact of fracing (fracking) for natural gas and oil do you? Perish the thought that such bastions of truth, justice and the American way would spread a little bull, do a little wee bit of exaggerating just to sell copy. Shocking, just shocking!

Okay, now that I am done being a wise ....guy....all news agencies do this to a greater or lesser degree. North, south, east, west, liberal, conservative or indifferent. It is kind of like using a sein to check for bugs in the water. Your going to get a lot of goo with the good stuff.
