It's Tuesday at the Underground, where instead of burdening you with useful, life-altering Paris Hilton news, we throw a few selected Underground-related news bones to you. Have fun!
First, the Underground's California readers should be interested in the ongoing movement to
drain and reclaim Hetch Hetchy - the valley that's currently providing water to San Francisco, but prior to flooding outshined even Yosemite. The news? It's not good. (From Ted's Most Excellent Conservation blog...)
And from MidCurrent comes this story about the river that was poisoned when the
train derailed in Pennsylvania while traveling 73 mph - 5x the speed limit. Think it can't happen here? (Oh wait, it already has!) Think it can't happen again...? Also, those who regularly visit the much-trafficked
MidCurrent site will enjoy their new look; it's easier to navigate and more organized. Another great move from Marshal.
From the
New West front page comes a job listing for some poor fly fishing slob who "Must be willing to fly into remote locations that have never been fished and give detailed accounts of fishing opportunities and spend time at our lodges between trips. All fishing equipment provided. Salary range: $42,295 to $49,105 DOQ."
See you updating your resumes, Tom Chandler.
