FOLKS IN CENTRAL MAINE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE SAGA OF "JENNY THE DONKEY" FOR CLOSE TO A MONTH NOW...

THE FOLKS FROM "MARY'S FARMS" IN PITTSFIELD BOUGHT THE ANIMAL AT AUCTION, BUT WEEKS AGO, SHE ESCAPED INTO THE WOODS...

THE FAMILY...AND FOLKS IN TOWN...HAVE BEEN WORRIED THAT THE DONKEY WOULD WANDER INTO THE ROAD AND BE HIT BY A CAR...OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT...SO THEY'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO CAPTURE JENNY AND BRING HER HOME...

THE POLICE TRIED TRANQUILIZING HER, SOMEONE ELSE TRIED A LASSO...AND NOTHING...

SO TODAY, A SO-CALLED "HORSE WHISPERER" WHO RECENTLY MOVED TO MAINE FROM COLORADO...KARINA LEWIS, BROUGHT HER PARTNER AND THEIR HORSES TO THE SCENE TO HELP...

SHE SET OUT AT ABOUT 10 A-M TO TRY AND BRING JENNY HOME...

1. This was on NPR here this morning.

God I love my state. I remember about two years ago the headlining story on the six o'clock news was someone had caught film footage of an owl divebombing a cat and the startled cat jumping. They played the film 3 times. That was the big news of the day.

Nothing like animal news, because often it's the ONLY news!

4. One of the first pieces of big news I remember seeing on t.v. after I moved here from Boston

was a story about several kittens who were left outside in a garbage can. Damn, those were some cute kittens!

2. Are you deriding our Great State?

:rofl: I enter this into evidence at this, my insanity trial.

8. Maybe they should invite the POTUS to give a try

Oh, I forgot, he's the whistle ass, not the ass-whistler.
(fondly remembering Sally Baron, that dear old lady who first said, 'Oh, Bush, he's such a whistle ass!')
