It isn’t small talk for those who work with and for Mother Nature. It’s as important as it gets. Seventy plus degrees Fahrenheit is nothing to complain about. Combined with a wicked wind - farmers are getting some late haying done.
I was surprised yesterday by an e-mail request for an interview from Chelsea Merz, a radio producer for an NPR show out of Boston. The show was Open Source - Elections ‘06 - Montana Senate.
Of course I was not being interviewed for my political views. I was interviewed about Montana - the place - and on being a Montanan - even if I’m not a native. What we discussed had nothing to do with the show’s topic. You can hear it on the cutting room floor.
Which reminds me of a song. . .
an American is diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.
U.S. CONGRESS PASSES HR 745 DECLARING NOVEMBER NATIONAL PANCREATIC CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. U.S.A. (September 28, 2006)— After thousands of phone calls, emails, letters and personal visits to Congressional representatives from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s (PanCAN) grassroots advocates, the U.S. Congress responded Monday by unanimously passing House Resolution 745, a bill introduced by Rep. Todd Platts (R-PA) to recognize November 2006 as National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Platts has helped focus the House on the plight of the pancreatic cancer community for the last five years by introducing similar resolutions designating November as National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
