Just a shot from Yellowstone last September to tide you through the day. I'll be off on a hurry-up trip to Regional Town, maps in hand, to identify the stretches of highway where we think our highway department needs to do more to reduce roadkills and get fences designed to allow deer, elk and antelope to cross the roadways.

A lot of driving for what should be a short meeting. But I've been loaned a book-on-tape (which is actually a book on CD), and the trip north earlier this month only got me a quarter of the way through the story, so I can use the four hours on the road.

It's Desolation Point, if anyone knows it. So far, so good.
