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. giles to whom an officially closed national fish and wildlife refuge rides (precariously) the cusp between gut-bustingly hilarious and vomitously hilarious. giles 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 there 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 plan 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 them looking good. Hm...... Well, I guess I should have looked down before beginning this lesson.....or maybe you should have looked up. JT- g. who sometimes wonders......why is it that pretty much EVERYBODY thinks that the end of the world is a "BAD" thing?
