We know it’s been a few days since we’ve posted anything. That’s because it’s end-of-the-semester crunch time when things get crazy. In fact, we’re about to be buried under a frightening avalanche of student papers. But we’re trying to steal away some time to provide some updates. We just today procured a copy of the final Brandon-Enbridge agreement, so we’ll be writing about that. We’re also well into an account of our frosty chat with Mark Curwin and Tom Hodge at last week’s Brandon meeting.

We also haven’t forgotten that we STILL haven’t posted on the last of Enbridge’s Freep ads (and we’ve got a good counter-narrative for that one). And we also STILL haven’t wrapped up our PS Trust conference series. We want to tell you about the great environmental panel.

But to tide you over, we’ll offer a few things (and beg patience):

• Our friend Peter LaFontaine of the National Wildlife Federation has an nice blog post about the excellent Tar Sands report he recently published. Check it out. Please read the report also. It’s vital.
• News outlets over in Macomb county are starting to pick up on the story of phase two of the Line 6B project. Here’s one account. The article is a reminder that all of this is far from over. We hope to provide whatever help and information we can for our neighbors to the east.
• Lastly, we don’t know what’s happening around your home, but activity in our immediate neighborhood has picked up considerably in the past week. We’ll take and post some pictures as soon as we have time.
