One of my favorite places to go hiking in Oregon is by the White River in Oregon. It is a short drive from Government Camp where I sometimes live in the summer and has beautiful scenery, lots of chipmunks, and early in the summer there is lots of snow for me to roll in. Apparently things have changed at the White River lately...
...You see the White River starts as a glacier high on Mt Hood and apparently during the massive rainstorms that swept the great Northwest something gave way up there. The first picture is of the parking lot where B would park and take me on hikes, the second is of the bridge on Highway 35 that is right next to the turnout for the parking lot. I'm pretty stunned looking at the changes. Hopefully the chipmunks survived so I can chase them next summer... ...I think that now would be a good time for the USA to sign the Kyoto Protocols.

Sorry to say that even Clinton was not going to go with Kyoto. Sigh, love that guy.

I think that dogs should rise up and demand Kyoto! They could join the penguins.
sid,
wow. what pictures. i think the naked apes need to remember that it's OUR planet too and they'd better take better care of it. connie's right--we should go on a best friend strike until they do something.

sid,
dunno if you saw the story but it's been running in major news outlets that global warming is causing an increase in disease, especially stuff like malaria. sigh. when will they learn?
