Hey Guys! I am still floating in spam and I just found out I have been either deleting unopened or blocking some messages from ferret people. PLEASE put "ferret" in the subject line so I don't miss a message or question. I am considering killing this account and starting a new one to get away from this problem (I've already moved my professional email), but in the meantime, please give me a clue in the subject line so I don't think you are spam. I'll be offline for a few days while traveling to the Inland Northwest Ferret Show in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (February 3, 2007). I hope to see a lot of you Northwesterners at the show. Hey, if I can make it through the ice and snow and thousands of miles, you can as well! Get your butt over there and gaze at my colorful shirt and be jealous! ;-) I'll be discussing enrichment at the show and will answer a lot of basic ferret questions, but I will also have the other presentations I gave to the vets in Florida, so there will be the possibility of showing them as well. I have noted a trend lately. I went to the York show, fighting freezing rain, snow, and heavy rains. I fought freezing rain in Missouri on my way to the NAVC in Orlando. I had to make a quick trip to DC for some ferret research and fought snow. Now, as I leave for Idaho, I have 1700+ miles of snow and ice falling from Missouri to Montana (and people always wonder why I am always on Bob Time). I can't wait to see what I'll have to go through on my way to Michigan later in Feb, or on my way to California in March. Maybe I can put an end to the global warming problem... I'll be driving through Texas in March. Wanna bet I'll draw a tornado or two? Maybe I should be "weather.bob". Bob C [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML 5506]
