The inbox is so full that I will be doing two cleanings of it over the next day or so!We start with the oldest from the box and an invasion!
Of the Giant African snail in Florida!
This quote from the link gives you an idea that these guys are not exactly the cuddly sort!
“They leave excrement all over the sides of houses. They’re very nasty,” “These things are not the cute little snails that you see.”They also pose a health risk by carrying a parasite that can cause meningitis in humans."
Lovely,huh?
Could the "Crosstown Shootout" between Cincinnati and Xavier seriously be in jeopardy?
This article thinks so and it seems more from the Bearcat end than from the Muskie side.
This game and rivalry is such a terrific one,I hope cooler heads prevail and keep this thing rolling....
My favorite Aunt Becky sends me more on the projected second Cleveland Inner Belt Bridge.
ODOT (Ohio Department of Transportation) will try to move the project back to the forefront with an attempt to earn federal grants to pay for some of the deficit.
Becky says they need it and if things are to the point that you refuse to cross the current model-it appears that they do!
Time for two goodbyes
Goodbye to Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter,who succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 57.
Carter played for four teams,but is most remembered as a Montreal Expo and New York Met.
Carter always played with hustle and was an easy player to root for...
Thanks to Travis Aldous for sending me this note on the passing of former Dolphin and 49er wideout Freddie Solomon at the age of 59.
Solomon was a mainstay of the beginnings of the Bill Walsh era with the Niners as the main target along with Dwight Clark of Joe Montana.
Solomon had been battling both colon and liver cancer.
Wow,cancer sure has been taking some good ones away of recent date.
Still six more items in the inbox,so look for part two soon
Snails;Florida Dept.of Agriculture...
