Hi, all- Things just haven't been the same around here without Saraferret and her...teeny little head and her...unpredictable savage bites. She was also a *darn* hard worker, and we have plenty of work to go around up here. I can really use the help. I've been interviewing potential Junior Greeters, but the Big Boss finally made the decision for me. (No, I *said* the Tasmanian Devil with the lisp was only a rumor!) It seems that there is a young fellow named Muldoone who needs an eye kept on him, and the Big Boss felt that it would serve a dual purpose if Muldoone could do Greetings under supervision. Supervision. You know, that really sort of worries me. Why does he need to be under supervision? I am told that he will report for work tomorrow. (sigh) I hope he doesn't bite. For their parts, Saraferret and Hermionie have been observed building an *igloo* way up North Where the Ermine Live. At night, when it is very cold (it is mostly night up there) little puffs of ferret breath rise from the igloo's ventilation hole like smoke from a smokestack. Saraferret is said to have traded her old safari garb for a parka and mukluks. Hermionie 's coat has become very lush, naturally, all on it's own. The ermine do not know what to make of this! They are solitary creatures by nature, but they have been getting together to discuss this strange development. Sandee [Posted in FML issue 4574]
