The postings on DogCanyon the past few days have been–appropriately–content heavy and focused on the BP oil spill. But we all need a little levity now and then, even in the darkest of times.

Mary Pauline Lowry, a fourth generation Texan, fought forest fires on an elite type 1 “Hotshot” crew, which traveled the Western U.S battling wildfires.
More recently, Lowry has dedicated her time to the movement to end violence against women, counseling and advocating for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, as well as lobbying the Texas legislature for funding and new laws to benefit survivors.
Mary Pauline Lowry’s unsold novel, The Gods of Fire, based on her experiences as a forest firefighter, has been optioned for film. She is currently writing the screenplay.Sometimes beauty hides in the magic of a URL. The nearly indecipherable strings of letters and numbers that only make sense when fed into a machine.

The great and honorable Reverend Horton Heat is the only person with a religious title I have been able to put my weight behind…
I like the Reverend AND the Dalai Lama.
Thank god for distractions.
