Quote of the Issue:
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator,
but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
W. H. Auden

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Valentine's Day! I know I am early but the next issue goes out after the big day
so.... What is it that attracts us to that special someone or that makes a person someone
we like to spend time with? For me it is what the Quote of the Issue states, laughter. If
you can make me laugh then I am hooked! I love a person with a sense of humor! When I
think of the special people in my life (family and friends included) they all share that
common factor - humor. So what makes your heart flutter? Is it someone who is sensitive?
Perhaps it is the intellect or a sense of adventure. This is a good time to give it
some thought and then when that special day (February 14th) arrives let those special
people in your life know just what makes them special to you!
Until February 16th, share the love and laughter....
Karen

According to Wikipedia: During the American Revolution, Toms River was home to a
strategically important salt works that supplied colonial militias, as well as a base for
privateer vessels that plundered British and Tory ships off the coast. In March of 1782, a
group of British and loyalist soldiers attacked a blockhouse along the river that housed
the colonial militia and captured Captain Joshua Huddy, who was later hanged at Sandy
Hook. Also destroyed were the salt works and most of the houses in the village. The
incident greatly complicated the tense relationship between the British, loyalist, and
colonial and was a factor in prolonging the peace negotiations that were then in progress
in Paris until 1783.

From: mikespet@comcast.net
MIKE'S PET CENTER in Neptune has a new pet!
Mike has adopted a 6 year old female Kinkajou named Kaytie.
What is a Kinkajou? It is a mammal that is native to South Americas tropical forest
and is in the same family as the raccoon, but Kaytie originally came from a private
breeder in Kansas. Some interesting facts are they have a prehensile tail and they can
turn their feet backwards to run either way. She likes a lot of tropical fruits and they
also like honey and that is how they got a nickname "Honey Bear" but one of her
favorite treats is marshmallows. Kinkajous are nocturnal and are very sweat but shy
animals. They live to be about 25years old.
