I
actually got to see a possum "play possum" this week when my
dog (Georgia) flushed a possum out of the bushes in the alley behind the
Newspaper Museum on Tuesday (Aug. 31st). The dog pinned the possum at
the wall but never attacked before the possum started it's act. I had
time to walk into the building and get my camera. The next time I checked
a few minutes latter, the possum was long gone. -- Ted |

Frances Emily Wright, a University of Miami sophomore from Collinsville, will be "riding out" her first Hurricane.

The dorms are supposed to be designed for hurricane force winds. Emily indicated that the campus apartment dwellers were being evacuated into the dorms Thursday evening. (Dad is trying not worry too much.) -- Ted [Sat 9/5 7pm update: Emily says she is fine. The Miami area is getting by easy so far as the eye is passing well north of them.] |
