@ehBeth,
Wow! You've had quite an exciting week! New job, clothes, horse show, visiting with your best friend and plus all the other good stuff - food.
Wishing you much success with the new job too!
Hilary will amass points for each event - qualifying for national championships, and if she continues to win, she'll have a good chance of being selected for an Olympic team! How cool is that?

Well, tonight there aren't any wolves singing, but there are plenty of coyotes yippin' and barking each time the train rolls through town. They let their presence be known, thankfully.
An update from Defenders regarding Yellowstone wolves:
The adminstration is pushing to declassify wolves from the EDA {again} before they leave office in January.
In the Courts: Last week, we put the Bush/Cheney Administration on notice that that we consider their 11th-hour assault on protections for wolves to be illegal. We are rapidly preparing a full legal challenge.
On the Ground: We’re organizing caring wildlife supporters in the Northern Rockies to attend public hearings, write letters to the editor and more to help save our wolves.
Citizen Comments: Already, Defenders of Wildlife has collected nearly 50,000 comments in opposition to the Bush/Cheney wolf plan, urging the Administration to wait until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can develop a balanced, science-based management plan that ensures a lasting future for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. The new plan needs to be reviewed by the public. Rushing the flawed old plan through now will likely mean it will again be challenged in court.
Stumble It!
