Getting the week going…

Over at Friday Harbor Pet Supplies, store dog Wicket waits patiently for someone to throw her "potato" (in the foreground) for her to fetch. The store has a wide supply of everything you can think of for your pets, and is located at Surina Business Park.

Let’s check around a bit….

• Jody Burns & Kris Bayas have the season’s plant sale underway – here’s the deal:

That's the Fish for Teeth van at Marketplace on Friday & Saturday...tons of folks got fish tacos on Friday, and bunches of kids' teeth were treated both days. Way to go, Matt & Maureen!

• The vote’s coming up – the ballots will be in the mail soon for the February 14th election….it’s a one issue ballot, with a request by the School District to approve the Capital Projects & Technology Levy. I say vote yes on this one, and if you need to see why, here’s the campaign’s website describing what we need to fix at the elementary school & the high school, and you’ll agree these are pressing needs. Check it out here.

• I asked Carol Ford the other day how Sam was doing with his group Wizard Rifle (and bandmate Max) and she said here’s the latest news from Portland – they’ve signed a recording deal! Here’s more.

• Got a note the other day that car fans & motorcycle nuts are gonna like to hear – this is from Kevin Holmes:

Please pass on to any of your friends with classic, foreign, exotic cars or any motorcycles.  IPS in Friday Harbor now has Ethanol FREE mid-grade Gas! Most of the car people who have been having vapor lock problems or car failure problems and motorcycles not running smooth is due to Ethanol water separation.  You may want to consider purchasing the Ethanol Free fuel from IPS – it will save the fuel system on your car.

Please pass it on!
