Re: tire disposal progress

Tires
• Tires: $5 each
• Tires w/rims: $10 each

Some would prefer to just pile them up or dump them and save the fees. How about an abatement during the cleanup?

Re: Phones for Electric Outages

Re: Doe's anyone have any short haired baby cats?

Re: Mice Control Ideas for Michigan

That is one heck of a cat. She is not the ordinary house cat if I do say so myself.

I don't let her go where people have been poisoning their mice or using insecticides.

She only eats organic mice. I'm not aiming to horn in on your business, Batman.

Fluffy the Cat

I will lend out my cat Fluffy . She is kind of wild but friendly as all get out if you treat her right. You can borrow her for $5/day, two day minimum and I provide the litter box. She is one heck of a mouser and that is mainly what she likes to eat. Respond with private message and we can work out ...

The partially constructed ditch can still be seen. It is on private property. I heard it was intended to power a mill. There was also the intention to improve the Cable Creek outlet so as to pull boats in there and hide them from the sight of passing law enforcement vessels.
