Making the rounds right now is an exchange that I certainly hope is authentic, between the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and ranchers Larry and Amanda Anderson. It seems the Oregon bureaucrats want permission to survey the Andersons’ ranch land for purposes of tracking species decline.

  1. I love it, but how are they liking their rectal inspection (irs audit) ?

  2. Excellent! That list is minuscule compared to some of the hoops my family's business has had to jump through for permits, etc. down through the years.

  3. If they do get access to these people's property, I'll bet you dollars to donuts they declare it a wetlands or species protected or some such govt. BS and the couple will lose ownership/authority of their property.

    Great letter though, we all need to be thinking in these terms whenever we have to deal with the bureaucrats.

    2. I should be packing as I type... ;)
      We've been working on it. We are shooting for being done by the end of the month. When you live somewhere 23 years you have a lot to move, the household stuff, the shop stuff, the yard stuff. Lordy, I'm ready to be done with it!

    3. I'll have to come visit after you recover which will probably be about a year! :)
