Mad Dog and the Pilgrim Booksellers
Posted: November 17th, 2009
Sweetwater Station, Wyo.--If you blink once or your attention drifts for an instant on the two-lane highway between Muddy Gap and the Lander, Wyoming, you may miss one of the world's great road signs, a weathered, wooden square flanked by an American flag:  "Old Books Fresh Eggs For Sale." And if you don't stop and go inside the two-story, structurally-reinforced, climate-controlled book barn stuffed with more than 75,000 hardback volumes ranging from leather-bound Balzac to first-edition Beatrix Potter, you will miss one of Wyoming's and the Mountain West's hidden treats. Owners Lynda "Mad Dog" German and Polly "The Pilgrim" Hinds moved their Mad Dog and The Pilgrim Booksellers from Denver to Sweetwater Station in 2000 after an unpleasant encounter with the Aurora, Colorado, Police Department.

Wolf Hunts Will Go On; Judge Denies Injunction Bid
Posted: September 9th, 2009
The Montana and Idaho wolf hunts will not irreparably harm wolf populations and may proceed, according to a ruling filed last night by U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy. Molloy on Aug. 31 heard arguments from environmental groups seeking to halt the fall wolf hunts--the first of their kind in the lower 48--on the grounds that the killings would irreparably harm the species, which was on the Endangered Species List until just this spring. The coalition of 13 environmental groups, which has sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in an attempt to restore federal protections for the gray wolf, asked Molloy to issue an injunction to stop the hunts, arguing that killing even a single wolf is a problem. In a 14-page ruling, Molloy disagreed, and said the "low threshold" for irreparable harm--a single wolf death--was not supported by the law.
