Greetings one and all. If you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin. At the conclusion of the second week of my trip to The United Kingdom of Turkey Vultures, Buzzards, and Lesser Birds of Prey, the extreme weather continues to be the major talking point. As I may have mentioned, the winter/spring has seen the most rain in 250 years. That means a lot of rain. And the resulting floods across the southern part of the country have been devastating for many, not to mention the consequential excessive amount of time I have had to spend inside cozy pubs listening to the locals solving the problems of the world. As a result I have lots to report but am not mentally or physically able to report it, other than the following important notices. I will do better next week.
Public Service Announcements. Calendars and pens at the ready. #430. The Vets from the Mendocino Animal Hospital will be in town at the AV Farm on one more occasion this month. tomorrow, Thursday, February 20. Call 462-8833 for further details. They set up at the AV Farm Supply from 2pm to 3.30pm and to avoid a line perhaps go around 3pm. you will definitely be seen. New customers and their pets are always welcome. Their next visit will not be until March 13. #431. The 23rd annual Variety Show is just a few weeks away. Fri/Sat Mar 7/8. #432.

So, until we talk again, Keep the Faith; be careful out there; stay out of the ditches; think good thoughts; and may your god go with you.
