Hang in there... Tomorrow I will get my hands on that article about the government offering up the National Parks in four western states to ease tension over two trillion ($2,000,000,000,000) dollar imbalance of trade payments to China.
I'll transcribe the article and the address to get to it. The Administration reclassifying the National Parks status to "highest and best use", from the status of protected, happened last Tuesday. I read it on the Yahoo.com news... We can all go there to read that one again. What that means is the ground work has been undertaken which allows the government to do whatever they want with the parks 192,000 acres.
Please be patient. I'll get more info in the next couple of days. OhByTheWay, I would have responded sooner but Babble was broken yesterday when I tried to respond... Not complaining since DrBob does a great job of keeping things working...

PS: DrBob is a superman, since I can't even seem to get dr10day.com up and running at all yet.
