DON'T BUY INSURANCE TO SHIP ANYTHING!!

Don't buy insurance to ship anything from US Postal Service or UPS. I've never ship by FedEx or any other shippers so I haven't experienced their policy. Both times I filed a claim because something was damaged, they blamed it on the packing. This policy is a green light for the shippers to blatently throw packages around without regard to damage. It is no telling how much money the shippers make on this insurance fee. I would suggest using a packaging company that packs it and takes on the burden of it getting to the intended destination undamaged.

DONATE TO SAVE AN ENDANGERED CRAYFISH IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE

There is a proposed $250 million dollar marina that is waiting on a final permit to start digging a 13 acre hole and drain Mill Creek into it. To do this, 650,000 cu yards of soil will be dug and almost a mile of stream bank will be caved in to create the harbor. This will damage, destroy and kill an endangered crayfish and its habitat, the Nashville Crayfish (Orconectes shoupi). If 50,000 people sent a dollar then..., well you can see how it adds up. Please send what you can. Legal bills have mounted. Every dollar goes towards the lawsuit. It will take that much. Stopping this marina will strengthen the Endangered Species Act!!! All the people and organizations that say they are concerned about the environment are talking out their hind end. I've asked for financial help from Ted Turner to Jimmy Buffett, from Greenpeace to World Wildlife Fund and not one dollar was sent. Hey maybe its not their cup of tea. I'm sure they've all done great things and contributed to the good of the world but they are non-confrontational. That's the "new environmental movement" the developers are laughing at all the way to the bank. I've realized this is my fight to save a crayfish, and I've got to raise the money it takes to save it. We can say "the people" saved this specie and not some corporate singer or some guy that got his start from an inheritance, Or some "feel good environmental organization" where everybody is getting paid a salary. Most of those type of people want some kind of notoriety anyway and are out of touch with the real world. All I want to do is defend the undefended. This crayfish exists only on Mill Creek in Nashville Tennessee. The area of the marina is at the mouth of the creek and the confluence with the Cumberland River. If this marina goes in it will literally block any chance of migration the crayfish has to colonize anywhere else. Since the specie is so sensitive to petroleum it is unlikely it will survive coming in contact with the area.

Un-American of ESPN on Monday Night Football

It was un-American for ESPN to not show Hank Williams Jr. singing the National Anthem on Monday Night Football. The program should have started out with the anthem. I believe they thought the money was more important cause they went to a commercial. Everybody should have cut the tv off right then. The local radio station in Nashville; 103.3 wasn't any better. They didn't play it either.
