Forgotten

I see a national news story this morning on how snow has closed some mountain roads in <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040828/ap_on_re_us/colorado_snow">Colorado</a>. Two days ago I mentioned in the <a href="http://www.bigskyblog.com/">bigskyblog</a> that <a href="http://bigskyblog.com/index.php?p=28">snow had closed</a> the Beartooth highway but this was reported only in the local news items and failed to make the national news. I've mentioned it before and I am sure I will mention it again but it really seems like Montana is somtimes the forgotten state when it comes to stuff like this. A Montana College student has a <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040825/ap_on_fe_st/nature_calls_charge">voluminous "call of nature"</a> and the national news media is all over it, but a weather related story like snow and it is completely ignored. Can anyone explain why this is? I'm beyond trying to figure it out anymore.<br />n<br />n<b>Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide to the future. Chinese proverb</b>
