Issue #1162

Anyone Interested?

Hi Guys,

It looks like it’s the time of year again when we have to decide if we want to continue on with this family news / entertainment email letter. Thats what you must decide. We could keep it going for anyone who does want it I guess, just let me know and we will be in full ‘production’ as of next Saturday, September 7^th. If you are not interested, also please let me know so I can unceremoniously dump you from the mailing list. Its all that simple.

I keep saying this, but it would be nice if as many of us as possible would contribute to each week’s addition with a story or episode of whats going on in your life. You see, thats what this letter is all about. We are an extended family, spread from coast to coast as well as all the way to the other side of the world to where the Zellar family lives in the land down under. Not everyone needs to come up with something each week but if everyone did write in occasionally, it would add greatly to the enjoyment of the readers. And of course if we could have more ‘regular’ contributors it would be that much better.

This letter could not be kept going without the dedication of our regular contributors and I can’t thank them enough. But I’ll say it again, Thank you.

By the way, there actually were Squamidians each week this summer, but they were the ‘unpublished’ versions, not sent out each week. Just me writing a little bit of what I was up to as a way of keeping track of things. They are on my web site along with all the normal issues. Thats why this issue’s number is 1162 and not 1153.

This is the last long weekend of the summer, thank goodness. I’m happy to see the ‘summer’ part of summer gone, over with, behind us. Those of us who live in a tourist area know what I’m talking about. The endless traffic, the endless crowds of brain dead morons, and so on. Hopefully summer weather will continue for a while but without the summer ‘people’ As well as the endless numbers of cityiots spilling into the countryside, our summer has been hot and dry, making for severe drought conditions up until a couple of weeks ago when it turned cool and wet. That was a good thing, it brought the forest fires under control. Our summer was also highlighted by an incredible number of bears. In fact, one followed us into our garage a few days ago. We had been out for a coffee and some groceries one morning and I hit the garaged door opener and drove on into the garage. I happened to look in my side mirror as I started to open the car door and saw a rather big guy following us in. He was about half way in so I re-started the vehicle and that convinced him to back back out (sort of pushed him out with the back bumper) at which time I hit the remote and the door came down with the bear on the outside. It then wandered over to the neighbors. Just one story of life around here this summer.

So, are we ready to start back up again, its up to you.

A Word From Russ

Interested?

Please allow me to join forces with Doug to determine if the Squamidian carries on or not.

My personal wish is that it carries on for at least another year (or longer, if you feel the same as me)

As a "Family News Letter", the Squamidian has kept us in touch with one another for many years. How else would we know what's happening in your life?

Everything is costing more these days, but the Squamidian is still free!

I missed you during the past two months - you always have stories of interest to share, and I look forward to reading the Squamidian each Saturday morning.

We thank the regular contributors for never disappointing us, and hope to hear from the rest of you from time to time.

Uncle Russ
