In our town, news travels fast.  There is a newspaper in the nearby town of Bloomfield, but it only comes out once a week and most times is way behind the news.  Besides that, it hardly ever tells the whole story.  This week's letter to Brett fills in some of the gaps; the wreck, the fire, the Pavillion, and more.

MAGGIE the CAT.  If you missed this story - it's back again.  It is the most popular of all the short stories on the NO JUNK MAIL podcast.
