Finance, Iraq, Afghanistan, Torture, Civil Rights, and that is the tip of the iceberg in significant events. Failure of our press to cover anything of real importance. The day that FISA failed they covered Christie Brinkley and Jesse Jackson.</p> It is impossible to grasp the enormity of every aspect of what is happening around us.

Southwest Colorado is overcast, seriously overcast and we’ve been smelling rain for 3 days now, with nary a drop. And Phoenix is flooding. It’s a lush and beautiful summer this year here due to all the snow from last winter. We spent the weekend hiking and camping on a friends property north of Cortez, explored ruins on his land and had a lively political discussion around the campfire at night. Oddly, everyone there (7 people in all) were not only on the same page with what’s happening in our country today, but were exceedingly well informed as to details of any issue that was raised. Everyone’s hurting financially, and everyone’s really p.o’d.<br /> Everyone also discussed what they are doing to reduce their carbon footprints, as well as to help others around them to do the same. I invited them to pop in here at Firedoglake, I hope they do. They were “pups” and didn’t even know it. hehe</p> Thank you.

It’s in an older neighborhood that was set up for equestrian families with several miles of trail surrounding it. It was tough redoing this last pasture. The riding mower I was using to drag the disk decided its drive train was no longer up to the task, so I had to bite the bullet and buy a utility ATV. That did the job really well and now the teenagers are going to be congregating at the house. They won’t like my rule: strictyly “grandma” driving on it or they lose privileges. The rules still apply on this farm: no pardons for breaking them.</p> We have a small farm with pastures for our horses.
