OT- Calling All Auzzies
The city of Biloxi Mississippi needs your help.
It was announced in the news this a.m. that a kangaroo is loose on the streets. The Mayor thinks "its a joke or something" Nope it's been spotted by 6 people along Highway 90. That is the scenic route along the coast. The animal handlers don't know how to capture it. Now they can capture a gator or two a day but are stumped as to how to handle this situation. It is estimated to be about 4 feet tall. You never know just what will bounce out after a hurricane. Kate T. South Mississippi |

Let me know when you plan to arrive and I can get free tickets to see Pete Fountain along with free tickets to the buffet. All the boiled, fried and grilled shrimp you want. Then we can skip over to the Grand Isle and have a snack at Emeril's eatery. The Hollywood is only about 30 miles from me. So come on down and enjoy the sweltering heat with the rest of us. I'll bet Miss Polly will being her pet alligator. You'd recognize her. About as big as a minute with a big red boa around her neck. giggle Kate T. South Mississippi |

My daddy was born and raised a fly's mile from Jackson - and my Gramma moved to Gulfport right before she passed away about 6 years ago ... I've only been lucky enough to go a few times as a child, but I still remember the smell of sweet magnolia (Gramma had'em in her front yard) and the kindness and friendliness of everyone I met there. Right after we made arrangements to move here (Northern FL) my Gramma passed away ... we were moving here specifically so we could be within visitin' distance ('bout 2 1/2 hours to her door - better than the 26 hours it was before we moved). She was a wonderful woman. And she had wonderful neighbors. -- Happy quilting & quilty hugs!! Connie I've started a FREE eZine ... and I've posted *LOTS* of free applique patterns!

Kate T. South Mississippi Well, Kate, Roo's are pretty darn difficult to catch even for an Aussie! They run and jump so unpredictably. Usually, a ranger will try to shoot it with a tranquilliser dart if the animal will pause for a second. Actually, the boot was on the other foot a week or so back here. A wild deer careened through the neighbourhood with the same problem. It seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of nervous energy. In the end it had to be shot dead. It was such a big animal. Evidently there are some wild deer around, but nothing like stateside of course. -- Cheers Bronnie |

They're called "Key Deer" and are the manipulated descendants of the White Tail deer you'd find up north in the US! Really cute li'l boogers. Very friendly too - not the least bit afraid of man (probably because they're protected and are around humans so much). Took oodles of pics petting them last time we visited the Keys! -- Happy quilting & quilty hugs!! Connie I've started a FREE eZine ... and I've posted *LOTS* of free applique patterns!

Even a small 'roo can be very hard to handle. Don't let it grab you around
the neck or it will rake it's back feet down your front and rip you open. Shoot it, even a tranquilizer gun will make life easier, but if you don't have one of those, keep away from it. Ruth, Sydney.
