I discovered that the Wisconsin State Fair offers outdoorsy experiences.
I know that the horticulture demonstrations, domesticated animals think cattle breed shows, cattle barns, small animal palace, pig and duck races, and dog diving competitions -- dont count.
But I did find outdoorsy presentations.
I strolled to the vulture and hawk talk at the WE Energies Energy Park. Two presenters and birds entertained and enlightened the audience with bird characteristics and behaviors. I didnt get to the Sky Hunters: Birds of Prey presentation.
The DNRs Natural Resources Park was a surprise the first year I attended the state fair. Paths wound through tall trees, adults and kids explored educational nature discovery areas and gardens rain, butterfly, and backyard. Live animals reptiles, fish, native Wisconsin animals as well as stuffed animals were available to educate fair visitors. Rangers answered questions and sold fishing and hunting licenses. Master gardeners answered questions. Children tentatively touched a large snake held by a young man. Children practiced archery with the help of assistants from the Archery in Schools program. Fish biologists presented a program at the fish tank. A forest firefighter answered questions about equipment used to fight forest fires in Wisconsin
Perhaps Ill see you there next year!
Marilynn Nash writes about her exploration of the outdoors in Wisconsin -- a variety of outdoor experiences -- hiking, biking, snowshoeing, trailbuilding volunteer work, boating, ski hill tubing and more. She'll probably try a few things she hasn't done before.

Happy Birthday, Gene Simmons!!!
Friday, August 24, 2012
Happy Birthday to Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons, who turns 63 on Saturday (August 25th). Although acting was an early side interest for Simmons, the bassist has branched off and become a world renown entrepreneur, marketing himself along with the Kiss brand all over the planet. Most recently, he, wife Shannon Tweed, and their two children Nick and Sophie, were the stars on the just-canceled A&E reality series Gene Simmons' Family Jewels.
Kiss has just released the $4,000, 45-pound photography book, Monster, which is limited to 1,000 signed and numbered copies and is five feet wide and weighs 45 pounds. Simmons spoke about releasing the highly expensive and grandiose tomb to Rolling Stone, saying: "(Not releasing it) wouldn't be fair to the people who can afford it and will appreciate it. . . If we didn't make it high-end, it would be compromised. Part of what makes it special is the quality and the size. There was no way to do that without excluding some people. We're putting something out that celebrates 40 years of victories. This is a celebration and a victory lap. It means a lot to us." Kiss is currently on tour with Motley Crue and releases its 20th album -- also called Monster -- on October 12th.
Gene Simmons, who was born Chaim Weitz in Tirat HaCarmel, Israel, the son of a Hungarian Nazi concentration camp survivor, told us that spending his early years in Israel hardened him for life: "Israel teaches you a sort of a different reality. Christians keep talking about this all the time, this notion of 'turn the other cheek.' Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but it doesn't work. Jews tried it in World War II -- it didn't work out very well. Turning the other cheek doesn't work for anyone except the guy that's slapping you in the face. When you grow up in Israel, you quickly learn that talking is nice, but if somebody picks on you, you gotta take 'em out."
Coming on 40 years after the band's 1975 breakthrough album Alive!, Kiss is still on the road selling out on a global scale. Simmons recalled that at the time, the band's label Casablanca was completely against the album being released -- for fear it would bankrupt them: "We were on our last legs, Casablanca was gonna go belly-up. We didn't get paid for the album -- in fact, when we told the record company we were gonna do a live record, they didn't want to do that, because live records didn't work. In those days, a live album was a liability. You did that after your career was over."
Simmons told us that he's as proud as ever of Kiss' ever-evolving live show: "I want to be able to enjoy a movie -- even when the sound is turned down. And in that way, Kiss has something in common with modern pop culture; and that is to say, you can be deaf and you can be blown away by Kiss live. But I would also like to think that you could be blind and blown away by Kiss live. It is audio-visual assault -- with a little bit of pepper."

A pack of tornadoes killed at least six people and injured dozens more in East Texas Wednesday night.
The city of Granbury, southwest of Fort Worth, was the hardest hit area. Officials reported a half-dozen deaths, multiple injuries and many houses destroyed. Late last night, rescuers were picking through debris and searching for people trapped in rubble.
Hail pounded the city before the tornado arrived, about 8 p.m. The storm flattened buildings, peeled off roofs and siding, plucked trees from the ground and scattered debris everywhere.
Another tornado, reportedly a mile wide, tore through the southwestern portion of the city of Cleburne, which is south of Fort Worth. That tornado damaged dozens of homes, though no major injuries were reported, said Mayor Scott Cain.
City officials opened a shelter in a conference center. Cain also declared a local disaster.
In Mineral Wells, about 50 miles west of Fort Worth, a super-cell thunderstorm gathered energy and pounded the city with grapefruit-sized hail that damaged cars, homes and businesses.
That storm marched east and later spawned a tornado near the small community of Millsap, where about a half-dozen homes were damaged, said Parker County Judge Mark Riley.
A house behind a local landmark, the white bull, was heavily damaged. It was unclear if the house had been hit by a tornado or high winds.
Its residents were not believed to be home at the time.
Riley reported a long gash of weather damage across Parker County, but there were no reported injuries Wednesday night.
Another tornado was reported about 15 miles east of Millsap, south of Weatherford.
That storm was likely the one that brushed the Sanders' home on Tin Top Road.
Karen and Chad Sanders were home watching television when they saw news of the weather and went outside to look.

Looking for an amorous getaway for Valentine's Day — or any other day? Here are some of our favorite romance-inspiring lodgings:
Bartlett Pear Inn
Yes, the decor is all about pears, but not because the owners are crazy about the fruit. It's because the husband wanted the inn to reflect his wife's maiden name of Bartlett. How romantic is that? And that's just the beginning at this gracious B&B on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where feng-shui principles make sure that your bed faces the door and the spaces pertaining to love and marriage are properly painted Valentine's Day red.
28 S. Harrison St., Easton, Md. 410-770-3300. bartlettpearinn.com. Rooms from $149 Dec.-Feb., from $169 March-Nov.
Bavarian Inn
It's not a romantic chalet in the mountains of southern Germany, but it's just as good as one. This Alpine-flavored West Virginia hostelry overlooking the Potomac River will transport you to the hills of "Heidi" while pampering you with all the comforts of home. The restaurant, complete with dirndl-clad waitresses, is more than good, and the river views are just beautiful.
164 Shepherd Grade Rd., Shepherdstown, W.Va. 304-876-2551. www.bavarianinnwv.com. Rooms from $95.
Colonial Williamsburg historic houses
When the daytime crowds thin out, stroll the brick sidewalks by moonlight with your special someone. Night is an enchanting time at the living history museum, and you can make your visit even more authentic by staying at one of the restored historic buildings. You may never want to go back to the 21st century.
Williamsburg, Va. 800-447-8679. www.colonialwilliamsburg.com. Rooms from $169.
Grand Summit Hotel
Think madcap 1930s romantic comedies, Cary Grant and Greer Garson and misunderstandings and make-ups, and you'll get a sense of the atmosphere at this grand lady with a dash of the country lodge in the hills of northern New Jersey. The restaurant's excellent, the art is eye-catching and the neighborhood's pretty. So forget that quarrel and make up already.

Walker County Sheriff Investigator Sgt. Randy Sanford said David C. Robinson, 40, of Jasper was listed in stable condition Thursday afternoon in the UAB Hospital Trauma Unit where he is being treated for multiple gunshot wounds.
Robinson was reportedly shot several times during a domestic dispute with his girlfriend, Pamela Wolfe, 49, of Jasper.
According to reports filed by patrol deputies, the altercation took place sometime between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Thursday at a residence on Cordova Cut-off Road in Jasper.
"When sheriff's patrol deputies arrived everything appeared to have calmed down," Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said. "Then around 2 a.m. the sheriff's office received a second call from the exact same location in regards to a possible shooting."
Tirey said when patrol deputies arrived they found Robinson had been shot several times.
He was transported to UAB Hospital by Regional Paramedical Services.
"No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed in the case at this time," Sanford said. "When we finish our investigation, we will turn everything over to the Walker County District Attorney's Office for further review."
Tirey said the Walker County District Attorney's Office will be the one to determine if any charges will be filed or if the case will go before a grand jury.
"The patrol deputies and investigators Sgt. Sanford and Sgt. Ralph Williams have done an excellent job working the case," Tirey said. "Once they have completed their investigation, it will be up to the DA to determine what will happen next."

I'm in the process of redesigning Rizonesoft.com from scratch and creating mainly static pages. These days all my efforts is going into managing comments and emails; I have no time left for developing software and I would like to get back to doing what I love. I got up to 500 emails and 2000 comments per day and managing them was a pain in the backside. I could not update the freeware or provide proper support and as a result my legitimate users got left behind.
There was a time of insanity and I moved Rizonesoft all over the place. I see now that this made Rizonesoft untrustworthy and I would like to apologise for the inconvenience. For a long time I believed that the WordPress platform is the best solution for us and now I see that I was wrong. With WordPress you have too many extra layers of management to worry about. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed the user interaction, but managing it became a full time job. To give you an example; I had about 5 brute-force attacts a day and this disabled the site a few times. I will do my best to not make the same mistakes and always improve your Rizonesoft experience. From now on it is all about recovering and looking to the future.
There will be no user interaction on Rizonesoft, except for Facebook comments. This should not be a problem, because most of you are here for the freeware and not free backlinks, right? As previously mentioned I will include Facebook comments on every page; just for in case you absolutely have to leave a message, but this will be done on a trial basis. This way I can rely on the Facebook anti-spam features and no extra management will be necessary. I included a contact form, but you can also use one of our social profiles to reach us.
I included a cool custom Google search feature to make it easy for you to find Rizonesoft freeware and news. I included Download.com and SoftPedia.com to be indexed. This will allow you to also find Rizonesoft freeware that is hosted on these two websites. and no need to get impatient while you wait for me to upload stuff. I am confidant you will find what you are looking for using this search feature.
I have tackled many online projects and have failed at most. Somehow my freeware has survived because of the people using it. Thank you for supporting and believing in Rizonesoft. Without you, Rizonesoft could not have been.

Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Leaving Marvel and DC
December 05, 2012, 01:07:20 PM »
I have decided to stop buying Marvel and DC comics.
A couple of years ago I had stopped buying all comics because I was tired of the Event-marketing practices, inability to read self-contained titles, and having Wolverine shoved in my face with nearly every issue.
Then, recently, I have read a few titles by other publishers. I have been reading Irredeemable and Morning Glories, specifically.
I realized I enjoyed these titles very much. Not only did things feel fresh, like the discovery of comics in my youth, but they didn't contain the problems which had plagued me for many years.
There were no Events. There were no constant crossovers that made it impossible to read the full story without buying titles I didn't want to buy.
I can buy a trade of titles like Irredeemable or Morning Glories and get a compelling story about interesting characters that is self-contained in an enjoyable reading experience.
I have also been looking at the new Black Beetle series by New York Times best-selling artist for Batman, and current Captain America artist, Francesco Francavilla. It is published by Dark Horse.
The realization started when my beloved Illyana Rasputin finally made it onto the main Uncanny X-Men team. I have been going on for years about how much she deserved that.
But when it happened I didn't start buying the comic. I expected an Event would start any time which would try to push more books at me. And that is exactly what happened.
The final stroke of realization is when Marvel (once again in how few short years?) started renumbering Captain America. They have promised me more adventurous stories and it all sounds good. But there is no way a character like Captain America won't drag me right back into the same Event-laden crossover boat.
So I'm done. And, honestly, I feel relieved.
So this isn't a gripe session or some grand testimonial. As with many of my posts, they are simply my thoughts this day and open to your comments should you desire to do so.

I understand how you feel. Being on a very limited budget (and not having any definite entertainment budget from one month to the next due to my enormous medical bills) it has been very frustrating to see so many huge events going on in the past few years. I hate worrying that I'm going to get a few titles I like only to find that I'm coming in at the middle of some story that started or ends in yet another title, because even self-contained tie-ins to a big event usually require some knowledge of the event from another book (such as a special mini-series for the event itself). I don't mind tie-ins and two-parters that stick to just a small number of titles (like 2 or 3), but when the event ties in to almost every ongoing title it just turns me off from even getting the titles I usually want.
I'm almost at the point of giving up monthly titles from the big two and sticking to trades myself. As it is, I don't regularly purchase them anyway because of both the limited funds and no nearby means to purchase any comics aside from Archie digests, but the few trips a year I do make to the comic shop find me more and more focusing on snagging a couple of trades rather than collecting a stack of monthlies I usually enjoy.

Though trades come out well after the original release, I have often found myself enjoying them just as much (if not more) than waiting for months to pass between issue releases. There are so many trades for the various Marvel/DC Events I don't even know where to begin with those sometimes, let alone individual issues.
But I am not finding that problem at all with the Irredeemable and Morning Glories trades. So this has made me even more confident I am making the right choice for myself.

This is a really understandable, and in many ways, wise move.
A lot of the draw for getting DC/Marvel books is the fact that you know the characters. Despite any other facets, perceived to be negative or not, readers know who those characters are. There isn't any need to waste pages on getting into who characters are.
This is really the only difference between indie and DC/Marvel, on the whole, without bringing things like events or crossovers into the equation, because some people dig that shit
There are, of course, exceptions; Spawn, Hellboy, Walking Dead; that have popular cultural relevance enough to fit this bill, but...maybe not.
With all that said, I have loved a ton of indie books, simply because they were able to tell the characters backstory while telling his story going on in the book. There's baggage that comes with knowing
about a character, that makes the character stale, and this simply doesn't happen in most indie books, because they are "told and done".
Alright, we got all that out of the way. You knew it was coming and necessary...at least, I thought it was necessary.
But, are you going to be jumping into new indie book feet first? Giving them a try? Jumping in feet first?
Its a but tougher with indie books to do this. But trades are definitely where its at. You can get a good bearing on what's good and what sucks.
Saga is worth getting.
I love Manhattan Projects.
Skullkickers is fun; sort of DnD fantasy comedy.
Trades are also good because you can thumb through them, most of the time, at the shop and see what's up.
I'm just glad to see you reading comics.
Extremes are always wrong.

I just had to trim my list down by half and I'm surprised by how few Marvel/DC books remained on there. I think there's 3 DC and maybe 4 Marvel. Everything else I get is from the "smaller" guys. Personally, I don't find it hard to ignore the events the few books I do get feature. Albeit, it is annoying sometimes. At least you found some books that you can dig into without that worry.

I am glad to have found some good titles from smaller publishers. That is mostly due to suggestions and reviews from this forum and the main MS site.
Gaumer, you made a point that I agree with. I know the Marvel characters very well (and most DC characters too).
That has the advantage of feeling like I am reading about an old friend with whom I have spent my life. That is also why continuity has always mattered so much to me (although that's another discussion).
But the downside of that is that it has all grown stale. I feel I have fairly well experienced what these characters have to show me.
So there is a trade-off there with Marvel characters. This even, or perhaps especially, applies to my favorites such as Captain America, Kitty Pryde, and Magik.
With these new titles things seem very fresh. There is a sense of discovery and being on a new road with these characters. I don't always know what to expect and I find myself enjoying that very much.
I'm still going to have Captain America posters on my wall and I suspect my love for Kitty and Illyana is cemented in my psyche forever. But my reading table might have a copy of the latest Morning Glories trade instead.

You don't have to buy everything for a character to still be one of your favorites. I love Star Wars in general, but I don't immediately love everything that comes out with the Star Wars name. I've barely read any of the comics and I have read maybe one of the X-Wing series of novels (although I have read most of the "main" novel series dealing with Luke, Leia, Han and the rest), I really haven't enjoyed most Star Wars games (with a few exceptions such as SWG and KOTOR) and don't get me started on what I disliked about the prequels... But I still love the franchise and many ideas that come out of it.
I also love Green Lantern, but don't love everything that comes out with GL attached (such as the movie, although I do enjoy it to a degree). I haven't followed the monthly title regularly since Kyle was still the sole GL and had only just brought the Guardians back to life. But GL is and always will be my favorite superhero and I'll continue to collect the occasional collectible because of it.

You're right. And I might still buy the occasional trade if I hear that it contains a complete and interesting story.
I'll have to rely on Gaumer and the others here to keep me up to date.

7251 Ranger Road
DeWitt, IL 61735
If youre looking for the ideal place
to drop your line and catch a record fish, look no farther than Clinton
Lake State Recreation Area. Recreational opportunities abound at this
9,300-acre facility, just 10 miles east of Clinton in central Illinois.
From picnicking, hiking and camping to swimming, water skiing and boating
to hunting for upland game, people from all over the midwest flock to
Clinton Lake to enjoy the great outdoors.
If just relaxing and watching the animal
life is your interest, Clinton Lake has various small mammals and nearly
40 species of birds, including osprey which dive into the lake for fish.
In the spring, it is the place to search for morels. In the fall, it is
ablaze with a rainbow of color.
The park land is owned by AmerGen
which operates a nuclear power plant in the area since 1978. The State of Illinois
has operated the park through a long-term lease with the utility
company. The partnership demonstrates that the state government and private
businesses can work together to provide outstanding recreation.
Prior to the arrival of settlers in the area,
the land on which the park rests primarily was upland prairie and bottomland
deciduous forest. Historians believe the area was the site of small
villages and hunting camps of tribes of the Illini Confederacy. Kickapoo
also likely were in the area until the 1820s. The first permanent
European-born settlers came to the area in the 1830s. Many came from Kentucky and Tennessee to farm the land. Most of the area
had been used as pasture or cropland when construction of the 4,900-acre
lake began in the 1970s.
The 4,900-acre lake and outstanding fishing is what draws people
to the park. Special accessible piers are present at the
Mascoutin Access Area, the Spillway Access Area and the Valley Mill Bank
Fishing Area. If youre dropping your line here,
chances are youre fishing for crappie. Hook them with white, yellow
or chartreuse jigs and minnows, which seem to work the best.
Dont tell anyone, because the locals
like to keep it quiet, but Clinton Lake is one of the best lakes in the
state for catfish. Most of them are taken from the banks, or in the upper
arms of the lake.
Hybrid and pure striped bass fishing is popular here, with numerous fish more than 10 pounds taken every year.
But a word of caution - the bass are tackle busters. Careful, or you might
lose your pole to them.
For good eating, it is hard to beat a walleye
and Clinton Lake has plenty of them. Banks adjacent to bridges are excellent places
to catch walleye and boaters can hit the Old Creek channels
or submerged flats. For some great spring action, the spillway area yields
large numbers of both walleye and stripers, as well as crappie and catfish.
Clinton Lake also provides good action for largemouth and smallmouth bass,
white bass and bluegill. Special size and creel limits are in effect
for most species.
Fishing Tournaments - Clinton Lake is host to dozens of charitable and competitive fishing tournaments each year. Special rules and regulations apply to these events. To find out if your group is required to complete a Fishing Tournament Permit application, please read DNR's Fishing Tournament Rules. If a Fishing Tournament Permit is not applicable, you are still required to submit a Group Use Permit request to the site office.
2014 Fishing Tournament Schedule
Clinton Lake is No Wake for all boats from 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise with the exception of waterfowl hunters. There are
no horsepower limitations in the lakes main basin. Sailboating
is popular. When the wind gets up, the lake can be very rough. Small watercraft
are urged to stick to the north fork arm of Salt Creek on rough days.
Six public boat ramps and one canoe launch are available. All DNR ramps
are now equipped with wheelchair accessible boat docks. Clinton
Lake Sailing Association Website
A beautiful, 1,000-foot white sand beach
awaits swimmers and sunbathers looking to catch some rays or frolic in
the warm waters of the lake. The beach is open from Memorial Day weekend
through Labor Day, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.. 7days per week, weather permitting. There is a changing facility with showers and restrooms.
No lifeguards are present; remain in the buoyed areas and swim with
caution. No pets, glass, sharp objects or alcohol are allowed on the beach.
Waterskiing on Clinton Lake is a blast and permitted
from the Route 54 bridge to the Route 48 bridge. Beach fees are $2 per
day per person. Swimming is allowed in other areas of the lake
but not within 100 yards of bridges, boat ramps or boat docks.
If just getting out and about is your interest,
try the parks three hiking trails. The 5 mile Houseboat Cove Trail
north of the beach is easy to moderate in difficulty and follows the shoreline and comes back through the woods.
The 9.3 mile North Fork Trail is
more challenging, running through the steeply wooded banks of the lake,
and providing unparalleled views of the lake and opportunities to view
wildlife. There are no exits anywhere, so be prepared for 4.2 miles up
and 5.1 miles back. Theres also a 40-acre restored prairie along
the North Fork, but beautiful wildflowers can be seen along both trails.
A ten mile equestrian/hiking/cross-county ski trail is located on the
north side of the lake east of the Parnell Access Area. Horse trailer
parking is at that location. The area is now equipped with a wheelchair
ramp for mounting horses. All equestrian trails are closed to horses
from Oct. 1 to the end of archery deer season.
Update: Peninsula Day Use Area and Lane Day Use Area are closed indefinitely.
Day use areas are located around the lake
with tables, stoves, water, playground equipment and toilet facilities.
Accessible shelters at the
Mascoutin and Weldon access areas have electricity. Weldon also has an open, grassy
area along the shoreline for softball or fishing. A nearby wooded picnic
area provides shaded protection during those long, hot summer days. The
Mascoutin shelter has a great view of the lake.
Shelters may be reserved for a fee by using the Reserve America website.
For your convenience, the Clinton Lake Marina,
located 1 mile north of IL Rt. 10, off road 1700 East, has a bait
and tackle shop as well as gas, food and sundries. Slip rental and boat
sales service are also available. Call (217) 736-2727 for more information.
More than 2,900 huntable acres are available
at Clinton Lake. The most common species are rabbit, pheasant, squirrel
and dove, although quail and woodcock also are present. Deer can be taken
in season by archery only. Limited muzzleloading deer hunting and shotgun
turkey hunting is available. Waterfowl hunting is permitted
on the main lake basin from anchored boat blinds only. Walk in waterfowl
hunting is permitted from numbered posts located north of the IL Rt. 54
bridge and east of the bridge at the Parnell Boat Access Area. All hunters must obtain a free site hunting permit at www.dnr.illinois.gov. Try the archery range,
complete with a shooting tower, just east of the North Fork Boat Access
Area where you can take aim at life-size targets of deer and turkey. Some of the targets are accessible to wheelchair-bound archers. Contact the site office for details on Clinton Lake's designated hunting area for disabled hunters.

A special youth pheasant
hunt will be conducted in October at Clinton Lake. For more information contact the Clinton office or review the information on the Controlled Pheasant Website.
When the temperature drops, dont huddle
inside. Come to Clinton Lake. Ice fishing, ice skating and snowmobiling
are allowed on the lake when the ice is thick enough. The North Fork and
the coves on Salt Creek are good for ice fishing and skating. In the warmer
areas of the lake, folks drop their lines from the bank all winter
long. The hiking and equestrian trails double as cross-country ski trails
in the winter and provide a great workout.
There are 17 Class AA campsites, 277 Class A campsites and 14 Class B/S campsites at Clinton Lake. Showers are available and most sites are adaptable to tents, trailers or motor homes. Each site is equipped with a grill and picnic table. Reservations can be made online at the Reserve America website. Camping loops H, I, J and K are alcohol-free. The wooded area along the lake provides the perfect setting to turn in after a long day of fun. Camp Quest group camp area for adults or youth groups has room for 75. It provides a secluded wooded setting and has a large shelter with electricity, three RV pads with electrical hookups, toilets, tables, grills and water. No shower facilities are present at the group camp area. Portions of the Class AA, A and B/S and the group camp are handicapped accessible. The shower buildings are closed by November 1st (may be earlier if bad weather) and reopen May 1st (may be earlier - weather depending).
close to the swim beach or accessible by car, is Boondocks
Grill and Bait. This concession, with indoor and outdoor dining, serves sandwiches,
beverages, snacks and its ever popular fish dinner. You also can purchase
bait, camping supplies, firewood and ice.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

Congestion from coal and oil trains seems to be the key factor forcing closure of a prominent express rail service that carries Washington fruit and produce to East Coast markets.
Cold Train on Thursday announced it is shutting down its express service from Quincy, Wash. because restrictions in the BNSF Railway schedule changed delivery guarantees from three days to six days.
"BNSF's business decision to direct its resources away from Cold Train resulted in millions of dollars in operating losses and millions of dollars in capital investment losses, both of which are simply unsustainable," said a Cold Train release.
The release connected the closure directly to coal and oil shipments by BNSF Rail.
