-- And On a Lighter Note... --

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I received a note from a graduate of Arkansas State University reporting a small move afoot to change the name (and mascot) of the ASU sports teams from "Indians" (no longer politically-correct) to "Ivory-bills," an idea
, as he says, that "would garner much free publicity for the school and do much to highlight the need for habitat preservation in the big woods located so close to the ASU campus." Possibly, there are folks out there (or ASU alumni) who want to get involved with this issue... but you'll have to convince folks to pass over such other suggestions as "Red Wolves," "Coyotes," "Snappers," "Farmers," and "Copperheads."
...Go, you fighting Ivory-bills!!!
