Promoted from the diaries -- Neil Stevens
I live in Chicago, so I didn't find out about this until I read a column by Mike Rosen in the Rocky Mountain News. Normally, if Mike Rosen says one thing I tend to believe the exact opposite, but our views aligned on this case.
Don and Susie Kirlin moved to Boulder in 1980, and took advantage of the market a few years later to buy 2 lots near their house with a combined area of 80' x 60'.

The argument goes: If Creekstone tests all of their cattle, then we would have to too.
What does the government do? It tells Creekstone not to test for fear of "false positives".

George R.R. Martin will be acting as executive producer on a new HBO series based on his books. Each of the SoI&F novels would be a season of the show, with the series and show scheduled to be seven books/seasons long. Filming would take place in either New Zealand or England, though production is probably still a long ways off.
