A Royal Visit

No, no, my grandsons didn't arrive for a visit. But we did have a visit from a Royal Visitor. Prince Andrew flew over the Apache Leap mountain this morning in a heliocopter to get a look at where the proposed land swap for the Resolution Copper Mine is going to be. If you stare real hard right in the center of the picture, right above the mountain, that's him there.

I reckon there must be some pressure being exerted by the Royals of England onto the Ditherers in the Senate over the slowness in approving or vetoing this bill that would make the copper company the biggest in the state of Arizona and possibly one of the biggest in the U.S. I don't know precisely what kind of pressure the senators might be getting but it must be coming from the environmentalists and the Native Americans who are opposed to it. I can't help but think there must be others, maybe some Influential Others who have some reason to prevent Resolution Copper from having their big mine back up there. But when you talk about Influential Others, that's usually another company who would like to have that land for themselves. They're usually the only ones that can exert that kind of pressure on politicians. It's not because the lawmakers are worried about Doing The Right Thing. (Whatever that might be!)

Anyway, I just wanted to share. I thought this was kind of a SCOOP and again, it didn't make the news tonight on tv. All they stated that Prince Andrew spent the day touring area businesses. (Yeah! You betcha he did!) And don't you think there's some Goodies in it for the British government if this Land Swap bill is enacted and the British copper conglomerate moves in to reap its rewards. The prince has to do what he's gotta do too. That's his job.

Oops, sorry, if my tone has slipped tonight. I'll try to keep it lighter next time!
