For over three years, I have been concerned by what I’ve heard from the Biden administration on how they hoped to manage public lands in the West. I attended the last in-person public sage grouse meeting on the draft sage grouse action where state and local BLM personnel gave presentations. I know our area has some of the best range cons in the West, as well as the best public lands. This administration wants to manage public lands using areas of critical environmental concern, where they manage for a single use, which is not good.

What enthralled me even then were the wonderful art museums which contained many of the very paintings that I was studying in my art history course at Edinburgh. On later Paris visits alone and beginning in the late 1990s with my second wife, I revisited changing neighborhoods and returned to beloved museums. As the years passed, I began to explore an even darker side of French history. These painters had emigrated to Paris from other countries and were considered by some French critics and artists to be a threat to the purity of French art.
