Archerwell: With wing spran of between six and seven feet and their distinctive red heads the Sandhill Crane is easy to spot and identify. Though they can go to the Arctic coast to nest many make their homes across the prairies during the summer. This flock are northerners just taking a break.

Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Gasoline may soon cost a sawbuck


The economic climate and continued high demand for fuel suggests that the price could simple continue to rise until US prices reach $10. In other times there have been pressures that slowed the rise those no longer exist.

Dealing with the flood of prejudice
Thursday
April 17, 2008
