President Hayes Helped Set a Record.

Today celebrates one of the shortest times before a agreement with Native Americans was made and then broken. On January 10, 1879 President Rutherford Hayes, by Executive Order, added to the Gila River Reserve Pima Agency. The reserve had been originally established February 28, 1859. The order also added land to the Pima and Maricopa Reservation. Less then 5 months later President Hayes changed his mind and on June 14, 1879 the land given to the Pima'a and the Maricopa's was taken back. Who said the government could not move fast?

Marley and me

I just went to see Marley and Me last night. If your tear ducts are stopped up or if you love animals especially dogs this is a wonderful movie to go see. When we went the theater was full of mostly middle age to older couples. When we left there were a lot of men trying to show how tough they were and a lot of women crying. This is one of those have to see movies for dog lovers. I think everybody in the theater that had a dog at one point said, "Yep, that is just like my dog."
Go see it.
