First of the month Marathon

Saying for the day: A kind word spoken brings its own reward.

Its time for another Marathon.
A chance to reach out and be nice to blogs around us.
This marathon has 30 more blogs than last time.
You now can choose from over 90 blogs.
I have shuffled them up so that they are not in alphabetical order.
Why not just pick a row and go down.
If you do thirty or more and leave Dr. John in the comment you will get not just the 3 points a blog but also a Dr. Of Blogging degree either in your real name or your blog name ( your choice).
Also those of you who do more than forty will get at least 25 blog explosion credits . I have set aside a pool of 500 credits to be shared equally among those reaching forty blogs. For those of you who are not part of blog explosion I will give you some prize equally as void of value.
The blogging period will run from 6:00 this morning until 9:00 tomorrow morning.(Central daylight time.)
Let me suggest that you print out the list and cross each blog visited off as you visit.
It will take me two days to tabulate the results.
So! HERE is the list. Good blogging to you all.

News from Pigeon Falls-the little town in my backyard where the trains still run and old ladies carry shotguns.- People are still shocked that Mrs.Trumble has now seemingly destroyed both the White Rabbit and the Dragon. Some are saying the whole thing should be made into a movie. Mrs. Trumble is being very humble and saying she only did what any person who cared about the community would do. (Any person with a shotgun named dragon slayer)
Eino sent Robert back to the University with the towel full of the liquid that came from the dragon. He still insists there is a rational explanation for all of this. There are no demons and no dragons. Very few people are listening to him. It would be like somebody standing up at a Baptist Convention and hollering out "There is no God". All the true believers would know in their hearts you are wrong. He is also wondering how Mrs. Trumble shot at the dragon with a shotgun and didn't break any windows that were directly behind and above the dragon on the Masonic Building. It just doesn't figure somehow.
Nancy says that her coffee people are beginning to see Mrs. Trumble as a folk hero. She says that Vicki East is even writing a ballad about her and her trusty shotgun. It could even become the town anthem. Perhaps they will make a statue of her and the gun and replace the Pigeon statue at the main street park.
Robert called late this morning and says the professor he gave the towel to says that it is some kind of reptile blood but unlike anything he had seen as it has a lot of sulfur in it. Now poor Eino is even more confused than ever. Could it have been a real dragon? If so how badly was it hurt?
Why haven't they found the body? Was it the result of some government experiment? Has our President ordered the army to secretly breed these things so they can be used to attack in backward nations? How does it breath fire? So many questions and not a single answer.
