Just say No! to Coal Bed Methane development, until they can do it right!

As most of my readers (my immediate family) know, I am very involved in the conservation effort in Montana. For the last 3 days I have been at the Coal Bed Methane Produced Waters Workshop in Fort Collins, CO. I learned a lot during this training session and one thing seems very clear to me: Montana is doing the right thing by making developers take it slow as opposed to letting them run the show like Wyoming does. Even though most of this workshop was slanted in such a way as to put CBM in a good light, the truth still came out and for that I am very thankful! 'Nuff said!
Todays featured picture was taken out the front door of my son's workplace in Boulder. My son calls these the "boat houses". I promise to take lots more pictures in the next couple of days and post them ASAP!

Ooooh - that photo reminds me of the old song:

LITTLE BOXES

Words and music by Malvina Reynolds.

Sung by Pete Seeger



Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,

There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same,


There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
