The Landowner Incentive Program has grants of up to $50,000 to give away to private landowners who want to take steps to protect endangered species.

Land owners only have to either match 25% of the $ or do in-kind work. Seems like an easy requirement.

If you know a private landowner who would use the money to do some good, send them that link above

Now that we know who'll we be voting for or against in November, the Young Dems are holding a forum tonight at the Capital Playhouse.

I'll be there, and depending on the wi-fi available on site, I'll be blogging.

Sir or Ma'am,

In reference to your blog of 18 September regarding the military fly-overs, we had night training of airborne troops parachuting onto our training areas.

They are training so they can maintain proficiency in their combat skills. At any moment we could be called upon to perform our duties anywhere in the world. We are already performing these tasks in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We are doing this training to also provide a free society the continued freedom to write these blogs and chatter amonsgt yourselves about how annoying the noise of freedom is.
