KlamBlog Correction

Karuk Tribe spokesperson and PhD Craig Tucker has corrected KlamBlog! In our December 13th posting we misquoted Yogi Berra's famous quote. We said the quote was:

"It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings."

According to Doctor Tucker the correct quote is:

"It ain't over til its over"

The first and second quotes are related. You can read about that at:

According to the authorities the first quote was also differently stated:

"The opera ain't over until the fat lady sings"

And, according to the Baseball Almanac, the Yogi Berra quote properly should read:

"The game's isn't over until it's over."

So what does this have to do with the Klamath River? I dunno. But maybe it will remind us all that those who claim to know the way things are sometimes don't really know and don't always even know that they don't know. You know?

Have a blissful Solstice!
