Kittens Packed Into Cardboard Box, Shipped to Cable Company
 
Two newborn kittens are recovering at a Humane Society facility after they were accidentally packed into a cardboard box in Los Angeles and shipped to a cable company in San Diego.
 
A veteran warehouse employee at a Cox Communications office in San Diego discovered the vagrant kittens April 4 after opening up a fiberglass delivery from Hollywood, Calif., according to Kelli Schry, a spokeswoman for the San Diego Humane Society.
 
The employee contacted the Humane Society, which arranged to have the tiny kittens rushed to its nursery. They now receive constant attention and bottle feeding every two hours, Schry said.
 
"We have the only 24-hour kitten nursery. Most shelters don't have staff operating around the clock," Schry said. "It was pretty lucky they ended up in San Diego."
 
It was not immediately clear how the kittens got into the shipment box, although Schry said the Humane Society staff "assumes the mother cat was looking for a safe place to keep her newborn kittens, and it's quite possible she placed the kittens in the box."
 
She said it's miraculous the fur balls, which a nurse named "Mouse" and "Wifi," survived the 126-mile voyage.

I have been doing a lot of sorting through stuff at my late in-laws house since their passing last month and ran across these interesting copies of pictures and a newspaper article.
Downtown Falls Creek with a dirt Main Street and a LOT of buildings.
The Falls Creek Tannery workers and dried hides.
Bringing the old smokestack down at the Tannery. It took 45 sticks of dynamite to bring the 150 foot tall stack with walls of 4 feet 9 inch thick at the base down.

BoBo got a new toy for Christmas..

While reading a 1905 "Morning Courier" from DuBois I ran across the very first track meet to every happen at DHS.  It was at the Driving Park in May.  we won.   The hammer was thrown. No Javelin or discus.   The "running broad jump" event went 19 feet.  The "running high jump" went 4' 11.5 "  The pole vault went 8'  1"  The Athletic Association" at the school put it on.  The coach was "Bob" Reed.  Our biggest winner was a "J. Harrington" who took 4 firsts.  Schools attending were DuBois, Reynoldsville, ridgeway, and Clearfield.  DuBois scored 58 out of a possible 101 points.  "Patchell" of DuBois won the mile in 5:38.  Harrington threw the shot 35'
By 1906 all the locker rooms were at the driving Park, and the teams would celebrate with a dance at the pavilion there, after the meet.

Pups playing in the snow today!

OK now they have taken over my recliner, things will never be the same!!

Well we had to go and buy sweaters for them so they didn't shiver when they went outside to do their thing.. I think this has gotten out of hand..

Here's BOBO after his bath.. He didn't like the experience much, especially the hair dryer..

These pups are so smart, even at 8 weeks they can shake hands and sit..

Well we came home with 2 pups and they are already warming our hearts, we couldn't split the brothers up cause they were so cute!!

eww ...I need to unsee that

Just like Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny, He exist,,, and lives,,,,,,in the hearts and minds of children.
 
 
Merry Christmas & Happy Easter,  Seeing is believing     
 
                                

HOLY Pepper!! 

We're all ears about this insanely tasty heirloom corn being revived7 hrs ago Warning: This story may make you hungry. A chef at a fancy upstate New York restaurant is helping to revive an heirloom corn variety nearly lost to history. Dan Barber of the Hudson River Valley's Blue Hill at Stone Barns began growing and cooking New England Eight Row Flint corn with the help of a local farmer after receiving two ears and a note via FedEx from a grain enthusiast about eight years ago.
Turns out the corn, a Native American favorite hundreds of years ago, had fallen out of favor with growers because it's a low-yield crop and therefore less profitable than other varieties

There is always someone on here that can answer any questions that get asked.

This kind of helpfulness is the best side of GoDuBois and why it's a good service to the community!  Thanks Steve.

Beautiful Garden!
 
I wish I had the time & patience to do something like that 

My garden is doing very well this year as far as plants growing and not dying off. I haven't lost a single plant this year which is very unusual. My tomato plants are growing great the only problem is they hardly have any tomato's on them. I have some plants that are taller than me growing and they seem to be cherry tomato's. Problem is I did not buy any cherry tomato's. I believe the place I bought them from mislabeled them.

Now my pepper plants are doing excellent. I have lots of peppers already but no darn tomato's to make sauce. Looks like we might have to buy tomato's again this year. I posted a few pics of them. I seem to like the camera I bought my wife and am constantly using it. I may have to buy me one so she can use hers.

I posted some pics on the storm a few minutes ago and found these pics on the disk. I had taken them a week before in the garden. seems butterflies like mushroom compost. I had around 15 in the garden all together when I walked up they scattered and then settled down into groups of 2 to 4. wish I could have gotten a pic of them all together.

Its not credible until they interview me..
