It's happening faster and faster all the time.  They took out the
sledding hill we used when I was in grade school and put in a four-lane
highway.  They did it over the summer, so when we came back to school the
next year, we found we didn't have a place to sled anymore.
Then there are the things that make cutting down a forest for a strip
mall and parking lot tame.  The new issue of the HONOR Digest has a brief
snippet about Wal-Mart wanting to put up on a new store on the site of 21
800 year old Native American graves just west of Nashville.  That company
just doesn't seem to be getting the message. (:
Take care, 
Robin
