View from where I am with Mount Moran in the background. Cooling off at this magical time of day. Still great sleeping/sweater weather here at night. But the days are scorching hot!

About Me
- Webutante
- I am a conservative woman living in the Southeastern US and the Rockies, depending on the season. I am an erstwhile wife and current mother of grown children. My life, so far, has been one of non-sequiturs which have formed my current outlook on many subjects including: family, culture, politics, food, sexuality, health, and objective versus subjective reality. With a degree in civil/environmental engineering, I have worked as a journalist, fundraiser, and most recently a professional fly fishing guide. I have never met a hiking trail, small trout stream, a leafy green vegetable, an articulate, conservative humanoid or a string of pearls I didn't like. After growing up in a conservative, Christian family, I was seduced by many the "isms" in the 60s, and took some sharp left turns. Then one day I began to realize I was on a dead-end street. By the Grace of God and through the mercy of His Son, I made a U-turn and then some better right turns. Surrounded by libs on all sides, I am thankful that I am alive to share some stories/opinions from my journey, to have a few laughs at myself, and to give Him Glory in the process.

Boy, could I ever go for some cool sleeping/sweater weather right now!!
It sounds like you're having a wonderful time. I'm so happy!
Good news for us environmentalists.
Does this sound like a familiar theme? Republicans ignoring science to carry out a political agenda? Here we go again...
Julie A. MacDonald was appointed by GW Bush and recently resigned as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife. The agency’s inspector general found several instances in which Ms. MacDonald browbeat department biologists and habitat specialists and overruled their recommendations to protect a variety of rare and threatened species.
The species that are expected to receive protection are the white-tailed prairie dog, Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, 12 species of Hawaiian picture-wing flies, the arroyo toad, the Southwestern willow flycatcher, the California red-legged frog and the Canada lynx.

Jenny, here's a pretty good list of articles about Julie MacDonald's regin:

The whole IG report is there in a PDF file. She sounds like a real piece of work, but sadly, very typical of the types of appointments made by this administration.
