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.

Back in The Day learning to drive horses was a challenge, still is for Amish today.  The challenge we reached for were mechanical marvels; an old Oliver tractor, a 32 Ford truck.  The story of how I learned to drive the truck is part of family history.

Not much going on this week till the Department of Transportation showed up to do a project on Main street.    We were on TV waving and shouting encouragement.   We're OK.  The firemen have left.

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.

Maggie the cat; what can I say.   Cats are a special thing in our town, especially Maggie who was never domesticated but decided to become part of our family anyway.    Her adventure -- going to the vets, is one of the stories of our town narrated in NO JUNK MAIL.

Panic, light sabers,  Messiah Concert.  Kansas City is a great place to visit.  At least it is normally.   It can be a place you'll never forget.

It's springtime once again in our town.  We make an effort to keep things as nice as possible.  We clean up all the debris that has been accumulating on the roads through the winter and even have a "Cleanup Day" where volunteers help dispose of old appliances or anything else people want to get rid of.   We kick off the process with a meeting at the Gas & Grill.  You're invited to listen in.

Gangs, shoot-outs, Ray in jail: it's all too outlandish to believe, or is it?  Vickie told us the story at the Gas & Grill after Ray went home to rest.
