I was born in Maryland and spent my first thirty years living there, first in the Appalachian Mountains, then on the Eastern Shore, and later in suburban Washington. After a year in South Carolina, I moved to Georgia in 1977. I soon met another park ranger who worked in Florida. She was a wonderful woman who became my best friend. then my wife, and soon the mother of our three children. I spent over eleven years working in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the moss-draped sea islands nearby before moving to Atlanta.. In 2007, I retired from the National Park Service and a career dedicated to preserving and interpreting resources and themes in the cultural and natural history of the United States. It was a most rewarding experience. Today, I enjoy living in the rolling hills and woods of the Appalachian Piedmont east of Atlanta.
For a hilarious appraisal of the Restore Our American Mustangs Act (ROAM), debated yesterday in the House, you need go no farther than Mark Steyn at NRO. This is $700 million of your tax money NOT for restoration, but for "managed care" of a mustang herd that doubles every four years. Currently there are 36,000 wild mustangs. With euthanasia out of the question, I'll leave the proposed solution(s) to your imagination.
