Imminent Forest Service meeting

I just thought I’d better make a note of what will happen tomorrow. On Monday, January 12, 2009, we are driving to Clovis for a meeting at the Sierra National Forest headquarters of the United States Forest Service. USFS meetings tend to dull the brain to the point of unconsciousness. Unless they make you so mad you want to kill and eat puppies. Since both Karla and I will be in attendance, we rely on having at least one of us maintain awareness/self restraint/sanity to the extent that we can leave the meeting and make the car or truck we drove to the meeting become operable and take us away from the big ugly covers-a-whole-city-block building far enough that we can recover at least some of our pre-meeting wits. If for some reason this doesn’t happen, this blog will be ended forever—this entry will be the last. What a shame. Wouldn’t it be nice if it ended on something worthwhile? Like puppies that weren’t killed and eaten…

…raw.

Gotta run…

No big thoughts for the day today. I have to get down to the headquarters of the Sierra National Forest to sign a document that will affect my and the family’s lives for the next 20 years. It’s a permit to operate our businesses in the forest, and we’re not sure if we will be doing the horse thing when the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal renders its decision on that very issue pretty soon. Stay tuned.
