A good idea RTR! My wife is a retired art teacher and knows how to do that. At least I could put one on my own car.
BTW, be sure to page back and enjoy some more typical photos of the land around me.

Very peaceful looking. I haven't had the opportunity to look around your corner of the state. I think I should take some time to do that. Thanks for posting the pics.

Are you saying the atmosphere is benign? My understanding is that the problem is with the groundwater, not the atmosphere. What I read stated that the levels of benzene in the drinking water is through the roof, as well as the levels of hundreds of other chemicals. You aren't experiencing any of that?
I have both a well and water supplied by the county piped into my home. I have never used the well water. It's too rich in calcium deposits and damages the plumbing. It has nothing to do with the gas wells around me. A farmer across the valley from me told me his well went dry because of coal mining under his property. I have a stream on my property that I could tap into and essentially drink rain water but it's simpler to use the water supplied by the county and safer.

And don't forget, the first oil well in the world was drilled up north in Titusville by Edwin Drake. They started using fossil fuels instead of blubber. I often tell people that John D. Rockefeller did more to 'save the whales' than 10 Greenpeace's ever could.Dave - Don't know if you realize it but, the first gas well in the USA was right down the road from you on 22, in Murrysville. There is quite a bit of 'gas' history right there in the area. With the amount of gas that was around there, I am surprised that they need to frack.
LOL on the sign though.

Your absolutely right, BIG OIL can't do it right. When we want to get drilled properly we need BIG GOVERNMENT, they really know how to FRACK us.

Thank you Country's Mama. As I read your tag line from Isaiah 9:6 I have come to understand the wisdom of the scriptures. "The government will be on the shoulders of our children." Who would have thought that something written so long ago would have so clearly foreseen the result of big government spending and debt.

You live in a beautiful area Dave.
Thank you Country's Mama. I have attached two different views of my house, one was taken from a plane as it flew over my house. You can see me standing on the roof. I was cleaning out my gutters that day.
The other is a big panorama showing my house in the dead center, up on the hill side. Winter is the only time my house is visible through the trees. Even in the winter it's not that visible. Most folks drive by without knowing there is a house up there.
Taken in the fall
Panorama taken in the winter. Download then Mouse to see it.

Beautiful shots Dave - - And I do know those hills well. Originally from Turtle Creek, Pa and moved to Murrysville in 1958. Still call it home but have been out of there since 1960 compliments of the USAF. Wife was born and raised in Murrysville (Old Murrysville too, before they expanded to include all of Franklyn Twp.) Still have back problems - having been born and raised back there, my legs grew to different lengths. Have to return at least once a year to run around the hills so that my back will adjust. Illinois doesn't have any.
Dave,
Just checked the pano. Hope you have a good snow blade and 4 wheel drive.

of course the fact that "big oil" along with the banks pulls the governments strings doesn't help much either.
