I just got a reply back from the folks at Prairie Home Companion. They do seem to read the e-mails they get. I was told they would pass my message about wild ferrets marauding through people's garden to Tom Keith, the fellow who does all of the sound effects on Prairie Home Companion. If enough people send them polite or clever messages, maybe they'll give our fuzzbutts a favorable mention on a subsequent show. The e-mail address again for PHC is: [log in to unmask] (note: it's Mpr [Minnesota Public Radio] not npr [National Public radio] When you send your message you'll get an automated response back, but it seems as if they eventually read all of them. --Jeff Johnston [Posted in FML issue 1571]
