Greetings from Florida where we are enjoying an undeserved vacation. The people from BIRCHES aren't in close contact with a lot of friends these days because we're so far away from home. We know that people are coming to see us, so we'll make some contacts. But here are some things we know people are thinking about and talking about and sending in their emails.
====
SPARTY - says that SANDY'S trip to the former Nazi countries is still on, so that a trip to France this year is not in the works after all. Next year is being considered now.
ALICE - had to go to work on the worst day of the winter when everyone else was staying off the roads. This guarantees that good education will go on in her school despite the crummy weather, because she got to put up a new bulletin board in her room, and gossip with the janitors, and worry about getting safely home.
JOE - says that if you get a phone call from people you don't know pretending to be someone else you don't know, asking you to punch numbers on your phone, like 90#, don't do it.
BILL FOM WNNCO sends you all this joke:
Saturday morning I got up early, put on my long-johns,
dressed quietly, made my lunch, slipped quietly into
the garage, hooked the boat up to the truck, and
proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. Snow
mixed with rain and the wind blowing 50 mph. I pulled
back into the garage, turned on the radio, and
discovered that the weather would be bad throughout
the entire day. I went back into the house, quietly
undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled
up to my wife's back, now with a different
anticipation and whispered, "The weather out there is
terrible." She sleepily replied, "Can you believe my
stupid husband is out fishing in that shit?"
Footnote: This is something that could not happen to Bill, because he doesn't own a boat.
SPARTY - sent an email taking a swipe at the Michigan Wolverines sports management team. That's all right, because we saw his Alma Mater's product (named Plaxico - which is not pronounced Plaxico- Burress) get interviewed on TV after that catch in the end zone, and we feel forced to say that we have more confidence in the University of Michigan educational system than the Michigan State educational system when we remember that Tom Brady was a product of the former. However, comparing the achievements of athletes in the classroom is not a good standard of measurement.

Some politics:
LORI H - is spreading the word about OBama, saying that he is an "inspiration."
PAT W - seems to be leaning towards Hillary.
DASHMANN - who doesn't seem to like Mitt Romney, sent this cartoon:
(click on the cartoon to enlarge it)
PAT C -sent along this list of rooms you can see in the new George W. Bush library:
The Alberto Gonzales Room - Where you can't remember any of the exhibits.
The Hurricane Katrina Room - It's still under construction.
The Texas Air National Guard Room - Where you don't have to even show up.
The Walter Reed Hospital Room - Where they don't let you in.
The Guantanamo Bay Room - Where they don't let you out.
The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room - Nobody has been able to find it.
The K-Street Project Gift Shop - Where you can buy an election or steal one.
The Men's Room - Where you could meet Republican Senators.
The Electron Microscope Room -to help you locate the good things he's done.
ANONYMOUS - has sent us an example of racist campaigning now in the propaganda loop. This happens to attack Hillary. We won't reprint it. We know that "anonymous does not sympathize with this kind of stuff, even a little.
