Chris, could you edit my last posting, replacing all after 'D.C./VA/MD/PA' with
a period?  I was interrupted and, since the mailer I am using has a small
window, I lost track and inadvertantly became redundant.
 
[Looked fine to me, so I didn't change it...]
 
Interestingly, Jim Fowler, who gained fame on "Wild Kingdom", was on the TODAY
show this morning talking about survival of the Black-footed ferret.  He
brought a couple of domesticated ferrets along which were handled by Jane
Pauley.  The show was pretty positive for ferrets.  He said they make 'fairly
good pets'.  It will be interesting to see if there is any followup as this
show has a huge viewing audience.
