Environmental article


I read this article about Canadian Natives and how their health, food and lives in general are being put in jeopardy by extracting oil. Having lived in a village, I was able to see how close to the land natives live. If the land is fouled, they are impacted in a huge way. The picture is from the village that I stayed. It is the church. They were having a funeral on this day.

CUT AND PASTE!

Just stopping in quickly to say hello and let you know I am glad you made it to Oregon safely. What a bummer about the weather there.

I am very interested in this article and will look at it this evening when I am home from work. Work has been insanely busy and has prevented me from blogging as much as I would like. Vacation cannot come soon enough for me.

Enjoy the time with your grandkids!

Kalen,
You are busy! Don't sweat the article. I found out that I had to go to Jury Duty the next day! My computer was on Alaska time so I goofed off before finally realizing, it was an hour later. I had to race to Jury Duty and got called on a case.

It looks like a 2 day case. I hope that is all. It is interesting but I am on vacation? I might as well be back at school.

Work has to get done. Just do what you must do. The internet will always be here.
