There was no talk at the pot-luck assembly meeting on Wednesday April 29th pertaining to animal issues. Everything seems honky-dory. Do you have something you'd like to share with the community? Please say it here by clicking "comment" below this post.

On another note, since this is an internet blog, and 21st century internet access is critical, there was much talk about internet access for the town at the meeting: a Verizon tower will be installed shortly allowing those that want basic internet access that's faster than dial-up (please note - it will be faster than dial-up, but there are limits as to how much you will be able to upload and download. Those who have tried Verizon internet out here are still not able to use Skype or any VOIP); in terms of Qwest - there were apparently 3 T1 lines available .... but they were already taken before the town assembly was consulted about it; according to CCDC, Qwest has apparently agreed to dig up part of Vooscane to lay cable for basic DSL (which is faster than dial-up and better than satelite because there are no limitations in up/down load blocks) when exactly this will happen... there is no date .......as usual.
