Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community. tim torkildson | utah There's nothing like a salmon run/with flecks of speckled speed/when bears and eagles congregate to feast with blameless greed/But gold is where you find it, and it glitters temptingly/A man would be a fool to leave it lying homelessly/Maybe we can sell the rights to mine the land pristine/to a guileless cartel from the land of Argentine/They'll never organize enough to get the digging done/and we can keep on fishing and grow rich while having fun!
