			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I went grocery shopping on Thursday, I needed some tea.  I was not at my usual Cub, I had to go to Office Max so I ended up at the Apple Valley Cub.  Unlike my normal store, they sell bulk tea there.  I compared  the prices and realized I needed to buy my tea in bulk from now on.  It was on sale for 99 center per ounce, most bagged tea wasn&#8217;t even 1 oz total weight and cost around 3-4 dollars.</p>
<p>I purchased a couple of different varieties.  I bought some mint green tea.  I love green tea and I had bought some Bigelow mint green tea recently and found it really refreshing.  But the tea that I&#8217;m falling in love with is the summer peach tea.  It is phenomenal, refreshing yet the tea flavor is very evident under the peach.  It makes great iced tea.  It seems to have a pretty high caffeine content for tea though, so be aware.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/18/wolf.delisting.ap/index.html">Gray wolves back in protected column - CNN.com</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how I feel about this, on one hand, 2,000 wolves is a very small number, and allowing the possibility of 500 wolves to be killed is 25% of that population, which is a ridiculous number. (note: I haven&#8217;t looked at the actual hunting schedule so this could easily be an over estimate).</p>
<p>Of course as someone who grew up in a family who relied on livestock for it&#8217;s income, I also understand that ranchers in those areas are going to be affected by this ruling by losing additional livestock.</p>
<p>I guess I fall on the side of the environmentalist more so than the government on this one.  If only because seeing a wolf in the wild is honestly one of the most incredible experience you can have.  I just hope that people realize that it is decisions like this that can help contribue to rising food costs.  It&#8217;s a price we all pay, and I feel that is is worth it.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>Here is a link to a more local story,</p>
<p><a href="http://www.helenair.com/articles/2008/07/19/state/top/65st_080719_wolves.txt">Helena Independent Record</a> - Notes that Montana was looking at moving wolves from endangered to in need of management at time of this ruling.</p>
