Regarding the SWAT team-style EPA raid on the small scale mining camps in the Fortymile Park area: the comments I hear at work and on the street are running about 50 to 1 against the EPA's version of events.

I keep expecting to see snow on the nearby peaks to the east, any day now. It's probably just a bit too soon: our temps remain somewhat above average, but with lows in the mid-40s overnight, that won't last much longer.
Thanks for stopping by, friends. Have a great Friday!

Not sure I want 40's just yet, but a night temp of 64 would be perfect. It would keep the fan from humming me to sleep for once.
Max, barring a strange warm spell, we probably won't see mid-60s again until next year - and will have snow on the ground before the end of October.
Do you remember what day you saw the Drudge report?

Heh, I just found it as well via a cached copy on drudge via Google.
Good deal, glad you found it.
