Reminds me of something we all heard as younger people = "Don't mess with Mother Nature."
Oh, and one of the 'side' sites re. Rupert Murdoch - He, of course OWNS the FOX network and during the 2000 election campaign when we know who won the popular election - set the USA on a different path. Murdoch's manager of the FOX news network was President Bush's cousin. WOW...... And to think that was the ONLY news network in the USA supported Bush - DUUUUUHHH!!!!!!!!
Then, Papa Bush's United States of America Supreme Court decided that - "For the good of the American People, George Bush should be the President of the USA - After the Debacle in Florida - led by his brother JEB........ What a Farse......

Stradee, I think you have hit the nail on the head......
Still no balance in my life. Just sciatica and being laid up with lower back pain, working outside when I recover, then overdo and back is down again. Haven't even started on the inside of the house. Hope to do better very soon. Start outside at 6:30 or 6 and work until the heat or my aching back drives me inside. This coming week will be a killer, in terms of heat.
House Approves Incentives for Renewable Energy
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 8:40 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Declaring a new direction in energy policy, the House on Saturday approved $16 billion in taxes on oil companies, while providing billions of dollars in tax breaks and incentives for renewable energy and conservation efforts.
Republican opponents said the legislation ignored the need to produce more domestic oil, natural gas and coal. One GOP lawmaker bemoaned ''the pure venom ... against the oil and gas industry.''
The House passed the tax provisions by a vote of 221-189. Earlier it had approved, 241-172, a companion energy package aimed at boosting energy efficiency and expanding use of biofuels, wind power and other renewable energy sources.
''We are turning to the future,'' said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Coinciding....
Iraq parliments stalling one of the administrations "benchmarks" - the Iraq-oil-to-foreigners deal.

Editorial
The Owl and the Forest
The spotted owl, once famously referred to by the first President Bush as "that little furry-feathery guy," was not exactly a popular little guy among angry timber workers in the Pacific Northwest. Listed as an endangered species in 1990, the owl triggered a series of court cases that halted logging in millions of acres of old-growth forests and led President Clinton to put those acres permanently off limits. For a bird that few people have ever actually seen, the spotted owl has done as much as any other creature to save the American landscape.
Now, says The Oregonian, the owl may be facing a threat graver than any chain saw: another owl, known as the barred owl. Nobody is quite sure whether barred owls kill spotted owls, force them away from nests or put them under such stress that they cannot reproduce. But ever since barred owls arrived in force in spotted owl country, the number of spotted owls appears to have declined.
The timber industry and the Bush administration are now trying to use the spotted owl's new troubles to reverse more than a decade of sound environmental policy. Industry sees no reason why it cannot cut the trees where the spotted owl used to live. The Bush administration ?- overriding, once again, the advice of its scientists ?- is trying to shrink the land set aside for the owl's recovery to free up more of the forest for logging.
Fortunately, the Endangered Species Act does not allow giving up on the spotted owl. Moreover, in his landmark decision protecting the owl, Judge William Dwyer noted that the issue was not so much the owl as the survival of the irreplaceable forest where it lived. And that remains the issue now.

It was a great long weekend - lots of time down at the beach with the dogs (I'm trying to get some photos ready to go online) - and I performed in my first belly dance recital! Luckily for the audience, they only had to deal with about 20 minutes of student dancers mixed into the two hours of dancing :wink:

Belly dancing? Forget the photos of the dogs, I want a picture of you doing that!
