Galena area is a little like Yellowstone Park

Looks like the Galena area and Yellowstone National Park have a few things in common. Gorgeous views, great outdoor activities and now black bear. You read that right....there have been a black bear or two sited in the area. The news even made it on Fark.com. You can read more about this unusual and exciting news at http://www.journalstandard.com/homepage/x488803717.

We thought we'd pass it along to our web friends, ust in case you needed a new reason to travel to Galena. If we can learn to speak bear, we'll ask it to stop by Poopsie's for a photo shoot.

Check back again to see if more there is more bear excitement to come.

Change The World For Ten Bucks...

The book Change the World for Ten Bucks delights and engages at every turn. It is a book of simple, everyday actions that we can all do. It includes a postcard to send to someone who inspires you, two pages stuck together (don't throw your gum in the street!), tear-out tabs to make introductions to the neighbors, and dozens of other creative prompts for positive change.

Here is a little background on the book. In 2004, a London-based community organization called We Are What We Do launched with the publication of a little book with a big idea: 50 simple actions to make the world a better place. Since then, Change the World for Ten Bucks has spawned a movement, multiple editions, and sales of over one million copies internationally. At last, here's the U.S. edition.

Possibilities are endless....what do you think you could do??
