#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. Rudy Pradal, the former owner of the “Bird Seed” weekly paper came back from Arizona yesterday. He is helping his brother Bob sort through the old issues of the Bird Seed to put in the museum. They would like to have a complete set. There is no better history of the day to day life in Pigeon Falls than the old Bird Seed copies. Here are recorded birth and deaths of people and institutions. Here there are old pictures and the records of great events ( not that Pigeon Falls had any really great events). The coming and going of visitors like Frank Baum are recorded. The building of the yellow brick road and the controversy around it is all written down. There is even an editorial that said the Bull Frog Jupola should be ashamed of himself for sticking the town with those yellow bricks. Those old papers are history written as it happened. So they want the record to be as complete as possible.
Mayor Trumble is having the early council minutes copied so that people can see that part of Pigeon Falls life. There are a surprising number of five to four votes over those years. There is even an accusation that the councilman insisted be put in the minutes that Bull Frog had paid off one of the other council members for his vote. Those were wild times in the town’s history.

Today's Link-On a Limb with Claudia- Breeding will tell.
It rained most of the day here. Betty went to Bible study in the morning. I worked at renewing my link list. When she came home it was back to the basement. More stuff for the Good will box. Another garbage bag got filled. Then we took pictures of the Nintendo cartridges to put on eBay. I then listed them for sale. Now I need a breathing treatment.
