Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Pull up a chair and have a beer, let’s talk. As usual, when I have plans to do a specific piece on an issue, (in this case, the creation of the Great Smokie Mountains National Park…) The Gods laugh and say, “oh son, making plans again, are you? Well,…
Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. No, the title isn’t a misprint or editorial mistake. Let’s talk about the “green” movement today. So, that big front-end loader pictured above is a piece of mining equipment. It’s used to dig up the raw ore in open pit mines and take it to a dump truck which…
