The Federal government today announced the availability of breaking …

After about 230 pictures here in Houston, I’m done. Of course that doesn’t count about 2 hours of video and audio that includes about a dozen interviews.

My main man, Steve Mays, the Obamanator, is on the ground in Washington, DC to attend today’s inauguration. I realize he’s not looking for the agricultural angle but he’s blogging it and tweeting it, using Flickr and even some video. I’d rather watch his coverage than any of the network blather. We may be miles apart politically but he does …
