Humboldt Natural History Museum closure

http://www.northcoastjournal.com/blogthing/2009/08/07/hsu-natural-history-museum-close/

Local (Humboldt county) North Coast Natural History Museum, associated with Humboldt State University, may be soon closing. They've had a good exhibit on ancient hominids, and always whale fossils and various coastal species.

Being right on the Pacific coast and Redwood forest and linked to HSU marine/envirinmental/forestry studies. A small museum, nothing fancy. This area is economically depressed but ecologically wealthy.

Sociopolitical economic freeze,
Priorities and opportunities,
Sparks blowing in a hot breeze,
Halt the growing of li'l trees.

If you can and wish to donate some spare funding

[The ARC has no direct affiliation with the museum, but is considering a potential link via ARC-AID-A, a not-for-profit program being considered.]

I rarely give a moments thought to political rhetoric, but this seemed appropriate in today's global sociopolitical climate:

"So long as our relationship is defined by our differences,

we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace".
