There are two updates on the Black Butte Copper, a proposed copper mine near White Sulphur Springs, we wanted to bring to your attention.

One thing I like about my job is that it becomes an instant anti depressant whenever I am feeling really down. It always does it when I least expect it. I guess it's safe to say maybe I will continue writing even if I will not make any money from this because it makes me feel better. Not that it actually makes me a better person, but it's some form of pain relief. I was able to deconstruct how I look at things and I begin to see things again from a higher perspective. I don't feel very small anymore. I look at the loser in me from a third person's perspective and thought the worse could have happened.
