there be more voices protesting this needless destruction of

ground, but that helps protect the
environment as well. The technolo-
gy represents a new way to access
natural gas and has been seen as a
cost-effective solution that bal-
ances America's need for more nat-
ural gas and its need to protect the
environment. In addition, natural
gas by its very nature is relatively
clean to mine. Unlike oil, it dissi-
pates when it hits the environment
(as opposed to spilling), meaning
offshore wells pose a minimal risk
to aquatic life.
In addition to increasing sup-
ply, the AGA says accessing the
outer shelf will diversify America's
natural gas supply, making it less
vulnerable to hurricanes and other
problems.
Currently, about 20 percent of
the country's natural gas comes
from the Gulf of Mexico. When the
2005 hurricanes hit, production
was severely disrupted, causing
wholesale natural gas prices to rise,
according to the U.S. Energy
Information Administration.

Buffett announced that 85% of his fortune will be entrust- technology that not only helps effi-
ed to fellow multi-billionaire Bill Gates for philanthropic
distribution. That’s mighty close to tithing in reverse!
When a gesture involves the transfer of nearly $40 billion,
friendship, confidence and generosity are re-defined.
A while back, on a journey to look up something else, I
learned that Mr. Buffett, during student years at the
University of Nebraska, authored many of the old "Burma-
Shave" ditties on signs that dotted America’s highways for
three decades. He’s probably the only rhyme-maker to
wind up a billionaire. It’s hard to imagine his gift ever being
surpassed, unless it’s accomplished by the family entrust-
ed to spread it around....

One item popping up in "weird news" recently saddened
me. It revealed that dentists are so difficult to schedule in
Great Britain, "do-it-yourself-crown-and-cap replacement
kits" are flying off shelves at the rate of 6,000 a week. If I
resorted to such, I’m not sure if there’d be "stars in my
crown," but there would definitely be cracks.
A while back, I called my dentist, Dr. Marshall Brown, at
home on a Saturday morning. "Marshall, if I told you I
have a toothache, would you see me this morning?"
Without hesitation, this gentle, generous, capable and
unpretentious health professional answered, "I’m on my
way."
"No, stay put," I said. "I don’t really have a toothache, but
it comforts me to know that if I did, you’d treat me right
now...."

There’s much to be said for 500th anniversaries. The mat-
ter has come up twice in recent days. During a recent visit
to Puerto Rico, many residents were atwitter about plans
to observe San Juan’s 500th birthday in 2008.
At the Vatican, numerous events this year will commemo-
rate the 500th anniversary of the Swiss Guard protecting
popes. That’s putting a lot of faith in 110 men who consti-
tute the world’s smallest army--and with the smallest of
knives.
Fear not, though. This hearty group has served well,
except when Napoleon plundered the Vatican back in
1778, when two popes were abducted in successive
years. Since then, the young men have been able to keep
