---------------------
Todays Gazette is being brought to you, in part, by pure, sweet,
granulated SUGAR.
---------------------
The current temperature is 15 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 19/6
Normal H/L temp on this date is 27/10
St.Thomas sugarbeet grower Manvel Green was once quoted
saying, "the basic elements of growing don't change. Each year is a new
challenge. What will the weather do-- will it be too dry or too wet?
Will I have to spray for leaf spot? In the end you put the seeds in the
ground and hope, and so far beets have been a pretty dependable crop."

"Profanity makes ignorance audible."
==================================
L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
------------------------
The first rumor this week is that the last rumor last week may not
come to fruition.
------------------------
It sounds like the original re-opening date of March 17 for the
Pizza Hut, will be set back to the first of Aprll. I'm not sure if
they're having trouble getting cheese, chairs or a crew to put it all
together. Time will tell.
------------------------
Should you encounter anyone questioning the integrity of the US
sugar industry. Or, blaming sugar for somehow driving prices up, or,
companies out of the country. You might ask them one simple question.
Why, is "sugar free" pop and/or diet foods in general always at least as
much as products with sugar, AND, very often, more? Then let me know,
cause I'll be darned if I can figure it out.
------------------------
Well, here it is. The last day of the shortest month of the
year, February. The month Valentines are made for. The 28th of February
is also a very special day. It's the day a very special person in "our"
family, celebrates the anniversary of her birth. Yvette (Johnson) Moe is
a relatively short lady, long on motherhood. Pat and I are very
fortunate she chose our oldest son to raise a family with. Jeff, our
oldest son, is very fortunate she endures some of the idiosyncrasies he
brings to the marriage, even so, we are very proud of him as well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YVETTE I planned on writing much more, but then I
thought, a mother with a teenage daughter, a son in hockey and Jacob.
You would be to busy to read it anyway. So,... we'll just say Happy
Birthday Yvette, we are proud of you, and all you do, and love you very
much. Mom and Dad Moe.
-----------------------
Please welcome Rose Kerner, the newest addition, to the
Gazette family tree.

==================================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
==================================
The Gazette works best, when the folks that read it, write it. Or
so it seems to me.


Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they are,
before it's too late.
