Perspective...
We're currently in Dinétah. We did our laundry today in a Diné laundromat, where we talked local issues - Utah and Maine. Not so different after all.
I discovered today that Tom Sansonetti, the former Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice and current lobbyist for El Paso Gas and Peabody Mining was Jack Abramoff's conduit to the DoJ.
After two days of impossible rain (it's May after all), everyone in town is more than estatic. They're practically euphoric. It almost makes me forget that the former Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice was a stooge for Jack Abramoff.
