Okay, Jean -- We have been cut off from echomail for a while, but we are back now. I just figured out I have a new yardstick for how long I have been cut off -- how many horses has Jean acquired since I was away? Is it a one-horse, outage, a two-horse outage, or what? :-) Could you give me a quick recap? What's the story with Cinnamon and the new carriage? and how is Big Jim (sorry, BIG JIM) getting along with the rest of the herd? Hope all is well and you haven't been hit too hard by the weather! --- Opus-CBCS 1.73a * Origin: Sci-Fido II, World's Oldest SF BBS, Berkeley, CA (1:161/84.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: F4B00000 Date: 03/27/98 From: JEAN PROPHET Time: 06:32am \/To: MIKE MAY (Read 1 times) Subj: Hi dere! >-> We were under warnings again last week -- then we got another 4 inches o > f >-> rain dumped on us. > Better than the 8 inches of snow we got here!
