Dog Parks

More and more dog parks are appearing on the landscape as humans realize that dogs need parks as much as people.  Find your local park by visiting this site.

For example, in the Boston MA area you can find these parks.


Now, would you deny this pup a park?

red sky at night ....

You know the old sayings, right?  Well this site is a pretty good place to start to read about more of them.  After all, a site called Granny-Miller can't be all bad?

See also this one and this one.

Volunteer Land Management STOPS

All Volunteer work on the Appalachian Trail has been ordered to stop due to the Government Shut-down.

The Appalachian Trail National Park is CLOSED.  See the NPS website for details.

I wonder how many hours and days of lost "free" labor will be lost due to the careless actions of a few GOP Representatives.

Shameful.

Irony and Yosemite

It is ironic that Google is celebrating Yosemite National Park's 123rd Anniversary on the first day of the US Government shut down.

And all about American's lack of willingness to provide health care for everyone.

What a shame.
