While cruising the backroads of the coulee country (a bona-fide
segment of rural Murrica) and listening to Curdistanee public
radio early this afternoon, I was somewhat surprised to hear
that the austerity measures proposed to alleviate the burden on
a currently cash-strapped Merkin federal government included the
closure of a hundrred or more "national fish and wildlife
refuges."

Um......

huh?

I mean, granted, English ain't my native language.....but ain't
a "fish and wildlife refuge" sorta a "closed" area by
definition?

Are the blue-winged teal, the black-crowned night herons, the
great egrets, the amberwings, the marsh wrens, the crappie, the
belted kingfishers, the soras, the rock-bass, the Virginia
rails, the twelve spot skimmer, the bewilderingly myriad bluets,
the backswimmers, the pileated, the hairy, the downy, and the
red-headed, the towhees, the blue-gills, the long-eared
sunfishes, the smallmouth and the large- mouth black bass, the
northern pike, the sauger, the hexagenias, the blue-flag, the
monarda, the (virtual infinitude of) salix, (not to mention the
absolutely hybridizationally stupefying hawthornes) to be banned
outright.....or merely subjected to body-cavity searches on
attempted entry?

Do they have adequate legal representation......or are they at
the mercy of public defenders?

Will they be allowed diplomatic immunity?.....political,
religious, racial, ethnic, species, sexual refugee
status?.....green cards?

Or is someone suggesting that bubba and toivo will no longer be
allowed to enter and shoot at will?

Yeah......right.

to whom an officially closed national fish and wildlife refuge
rides (precariously) the cusp between gut-bustingly hilarious
and vomitously hilarious.

On a local level, I heard on the way home yesterday there are no
funds available to keep the park bathrooms clean,

Sounds a lot like a gas station,

garbage picked up, lawns mowed,
etc...

neighbors,

They are asking for volunteers to provide these services.

adopt a highway.....not that I've got anything against the Boy
Scouts, Kiwanis, or Lurlene's "Hair Today, Groin Tomorrow".....it's
nice to see them actually do something useful. *But it DOES have an
impact on the economy. *Just think of all the convicts and illegal
aliens put out of work!

Same is true with the public launch locations at local area lakes
and the
re
is already garbage all over the place at a couple I have stopped
at.

It helps to take an ecologicl point of view. *Garbage is an
indicator species.....when it disappears, you know something is
desperately wrong.

Given the 75 plus parks in the Spokane area, I'm guessing the
volunteer p
lan
isn't going to go very well.

Volunteers are an inexhaustible resource (like timber, petroleum,
Mexicans, etc.). *The trick is to trick the volunteers. *What have
you
been asking them to do?

Hopefully some of the girl/boy scout troops with adopt a park to
keep the
m
looking good.

Hm......

Well, I guess I should have looked down before beginning this
lesson.....or maybe you should have looked up.
