Just got back from the most successful deer camp in years.
Me and the boys filled 8 of 10 tags between seven guys.
Unfortunately, It appears that I lost my camera this week and didn't have it on hand, early on; so I will be a little thin on pictures for my deer hunt story, 2007.
Maybe I'll draw some pics for it.
Meanwhile... some articles, news and resources that stood out in my inboxes.

"On October 3, 1977 the first large-scale strike by undocumented workers in U.S. labor history began at the Arrowhead Ranch, located in the East Valley community north of Tolleson, Arizona. Despite strike breaking efforts by the Border Patrol, the predominantly Mexican national workers persevered in their efforts to negotiate contracts with the powerful growers. Supported by the Maricopa County Organizing Project (MCOP), the courageous efforts of Arizona farmworker movement left a legacy of struggle, organizing under extreme adversity, and belief in Human Dignity that continues till today.
