The Northern Rockies Wolf has now been added to the endangered species list as of yesterday, (August 5th, 2010), by Federal District Judge Donald W. Molloy, that also felt that it was illegal to remove Idaho and Montana wolves while maintaining the Wyoming wolf on the endangered list.  This makes it seem like a political border line and not an endangered species line.  Montana wi...

The Great, King of the Jungle, the African Lion is considered endangered today.  Since 1950 the numbers of the African lion has dwindled to half what they were.  Today's population of this large and majestic beast is only 21,000 for all of the entire African continent.  Defenders of Wildlife.  The Lion is the most social of the wild cat family.  They live in prides.  ...

Anyone else wondering what is new with that volcano in Iceland.  The one that I, along with most others cannot pronounce.  "Eyjafjallajökull" Yeah, I can't even hope to spell that either.  Yikes!  With a name like that, no wonder it went off.  This wild one went off in April of 2010.  It's highest ash plume was 33,000feet high on it's first day on April 18th, ...

Well this is the first earthquake since the Easter Mexicali quake, that I have not felt.  When not sitting upon, or close to an epicenter it can really make a difference how or if you feel a quake, by where or what you are doing.  This time I was downstairs, walking between rooms and starting the washing machine.  I came walking back into our bedroom to the News Station pausing and ...

I'm sure you already know my position on this from the above video.  Yikes!   I like to think of Republican Don Young, from Alaska, as a Special Needs Congressman.  I think his biggest need is Greed!  For gosh sakes, I sure hope that he doesn't plan a special trip down to the devastated shoreline of the gulf anytime soon.  I would imagine he would find himself w...
