About me
Originally from San Diego I have lived in several different places around the US and Germany while in the Air Force. I feel I am very lucky to have seen as much of the US as I have, many are not able to leave just the towns they live in. I now live in Wyoming and I love it here. I love the wide open space, the people, and the peace and quiet. And yes, to some that would mean boredom, but for me it is perfect. I love to read and taking pictures is a hobby of mine. Although with gas prices they way they were I didn't take many this summer. I love to read news items and left Clipmarks for a while, mainly cuz I spread myself to thin on the net. Correcting that now. I am an avid player in Second Life and have been playing for about two years now. I have a parcel I rent, a shop I sell my wares from and some shops I am trying to rent out to others in SL. If you go to my flickr link you can see pictures I have posted of SL, some of places in SL that are based on real life places, like the Basilica Saint Francesco d' Assisi in Italy. Have fun.

 If this is a no-no please holler at me, I will remove. It is a pledge I made asking people to pledge to give ten cans of food and I will do the same. I have a goal of 100 people. It's easy. No money involved to pledge, just say you will take food to your local food bank. Easy. Times are hard all over, one small way to help.

 It’s starting to look like planting delays and other weather maladies experienced in several major growing regions last spring may be starting to have an impact on crop yields. According to USDA’s Nov. 10 crop production report, production declined from last month’s prognostications for every major U.S. crop. Cotton production is forecast at 13.5 million bales, down 1 percent from last month and down 30 percent from last year. Yield is expected to average 837 pounds per harvested acre, down 12 pounds from last month and down 42 pounds from the record high yield in 2007. Upland cotton production is forecast at 13.1 million bales, down 1 percent from last month and 29 percent below 2007. Texas producers expect lower yields than last month, while producers in the Southeast are expecting increased yields. Upland growers in Alabama and New Mexico are expecting record high yields. Pima production is forecast at 459,000 bales, up 2 percent from last month but down 46 percent from last y

Even Lawyers are getting laid off

 NEW YORK: You know things are bad when even lawyers are getting laid off. In downturns of years past, law firms exploited corporate failures and bitter, protracted lawsuits to keep busy and keep billing. But in this still-unfolding crisis, the embittered and the bankrupt have been relatively slow to appear, at least in court. American law firms in turn are feeling the strain. Thelen and Heller Ehrman, two firms whose deep San Francisco roots extend back decades, have collapsed outright, in part because of the business slowdown. Each firm left several hundred lawyers out in the cold. Many others, including Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal and Katten Muchin Rosenman, two Chicago firms ranked among the nation's 100 most profitable by American Lawyer magazine, and an international giant, Clifford Chance, have jettisoned dozens of associates. Still others, like Powell Goldstein, a firm based in Atlanta with more than 200 lawyers, are merging with larger rivals in deals that may be bid
