Here's something that is a positive bit of news...

From downtown Austin Texas, some ducklings found there way down the riverwalk...  we can all use a little help from our friends!

Bummer in my neighborhood

From the Eau Claire Leader Telegram... (For those who aren't familiar, this game park owned by the local Lions Club, is on the property just across the pond from my house.)

Two buffalo grazed Thursday at the Lions Club Game Park adjacent to Wakanda Park in Menomonie. The two other buffalo from the park had to be shot Wednesday after they jumped a gate and wandered too close to Interstate 94, in the background, police said.

From Ping...

I remember in the fall of 2007, when Ping arrived in Menomonie from Thailand, she told me she wanted to pursue a career in dentistry.  So yesterday I got this awesome email.  I only wish I could throw a party to celebrate with her.  It's so great when a plan comes together, but she says it better than I...

The message subject was: "FINALLY"
