A Thank You note:

A few days ago, I posted here about a gas industry plan to desecrate a burial mound in Ohio, with a link to a petition of human beings opposed to this. Because I am busy -- and I'm NOT making excuses -- I was not able to respond to each and every one of you who signed the petition, including those who passed it on to others. Thus, I want to say "Thank You!" to everyone.

On the day I began working on this, 83 people had signed the petition. A few days later, over 9,000 have signed it.

Also, as previously noted, I sent it along to the Onondaga Nation's Council of Chiefs, and to the attorney who represents the Nation in federal court. I've been asked, "Why Onondaga?" ..... since they are located in New York, rather than Ohio, where the mound is. The reason is, long story short, can be found in the 9-87 and 3-89 editions of National Geographic, and in the book "Water Man." The Haudenosaunee, or Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy, is EXACTLY the right entity to take the lead role in what could become a court struggle.

Again, thank you all.

Now, back to work.
