Stuff like this just pisses me off. Give the story a read/listen and see if you don’t get irate either.

In short, some a-hole from Texas buys up a bunch of land in Colorado adjoining a river.

Said river is used for rafting and recreation.

Said river and all rivers in Colorado are public entities. It is in the state constitution as such.

A-hole Texan claims the waterway abutting his property is his and that he can ban people from floating on it.

Case is – for some unknown reason – not thrown out on the grounds of stupidity and is pending.

Oh, in Texas, you can’t own the waterways, which apparently is why he came to Colorado. Apparently he thought, and he’s right, that money can break more laws in the Rockies than they can in Texas.

It’s totally my fault, and actually not even that to a certain extent.

My Grandfather got me hooked on watching Sunday Morning on CBS back when Charles Kuralt hosted it. The stories were entertaining and light and you often learned stuff too.

So I’ve been watching it with Gabriel, who actually asks for it when he wakes up on Sundays. “Sun, Sun!” he screams until I put in on.

His favorite part, however, is at the end of the show when a moment of nature video is played, often involving some animals. CBS is really, really awful about hosting video from the show up but I just saw some of the last couple weeks of stuff we liked up and I figured I’d share. (Many have been moved/archived at YouTube over the years.)

Well, Nevadans, here is that change you can believe.

Probably the main local reason I voted for Obama was that he said he’d kill the plan to irradiate our local water supply with everyone else’s nuclear waste. And here we are with him in the works to kill the project.

Excellent news.

I did not know the answer to this, but good to know. I was just thinking the same thing awhile back flipping channels and a PBS show from Phoenix came on.
