Norm Duncan passed this along: Monday night Rose Ann surprised him

with meatloaf for supper. Later on their son Brian called, and they had had

meatloaf also. The next day they talked to Cindy Bassinger, and she had

meatloaf the night before, as did Norm's sister. When he read the comics

before going out Tuesday night, "Marmaduke" was being blamed for

taking all the meatloaf pans. Coincidence? Meatloaf really was

meant for Mondays!

From the Unadilla Fire & Rescue: "We would like to thank all of those

who donated for a new utility vehicle for the Department. With these

funds we were able to procure a 2003 Suburban from the

Nebraska Forest Service."
