MONUMENTS FROM OBAMA

++My computer has been down for the last two days and I can see I haven't missed anything. 

++The New York Times' lead editorial finally recognized President Obama's contribution to the national park system by his designation of Maine's north woods as a national monument and his extension of the marine monument off Hawaii, which will consist of 582,578 square miles off Hawaii and will protect 7,000 species of marine life from commercial exploitation.

++The New York Times shares my hopes for monument status for Bears Ears, an area of about two million acres in southeastern Utah, which is rich in Native American artifacts.

++Their second candidate is 1.7 million acres adjacent to the Grand Canyon. 

++And a third is located 150 miles southeast of Cape Cod known as the New England Coral Canyons and Seamounts. This would be the first in the Atlantic Ocean.

++President Obama, go for the Gold.
