    Gleaming Metal

    April 29th, 2006

    OK, so it’s not a bus, but I don’t think anyone can deny that this example of workmanship isn’t worthy of appreciating. Rich and Eleanor are enjoying wonderful weather and seeing lots of examples of craftsmanship while attending an Airstream Rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

    National Parks to Cut Services

    April 22nd, 2006

    Some parks to cut services for visitors as summer approaches.

    The Bush administration has ordered America’s national parks to show they can function at 80% or less of their operating budgets. According to a Knight Ridder Newspapers report, park officials in the field said the initiative was forcing “gut-wrenching” decisions that visitors would notice. The Park Service has more than 270 million visitors annually.
