This is not a political blog...
That being said, I keep seeing things and reading things that irrevocably set my mind to the future of this country. I care about my current home, Colorado, but the problems we face here pale in comparison to the social and economic dilemmas facing Oregonians.
I am constantly reminded of my home state and the epic battle being waged on cheap drugs and joblessness. Beyond that, there is also the troubling disappearance of forests in the coastal range, which have long been considered the crown jewel of Oregon's natural beauty.
One of my friends, Karim Shumaker, recently forwarded me a link to an article that talks about the trouble with timber in the Northwest. Click here to read it... I think this article is thought provoking and sheds some light on this important issue.

Wow, thanks Erin. This is such a great article that I think everyone should read it. It so apt AND poignant. I thought you would appreciate it since your roots are in Oregon.
I did... Last time I was home we drove through the coastal range and it was so sad to see all the clear cutting. It is definitely something I feel strongly about...
