Editor's Notes:

     February's meeting turned out to be an R&R month. Ah, Loren what you missed by officially being on holiday. I hope yours proved to be wonderful. For those of us here, we told attack mouse stories with a few snake stories thrown in for good measure. These tended to be better than joke time. For the rest of our crew, some where on-duty.
     I've had writers block this month after having experienced being a victim of a car accident. While going to a TC on icy roads, I guided a slid into one of our engines instead of a group of people. Too add insult to injury, we got rear ended by three other vehicles. It was an interesting experience jumping out of the vehicle, being a victim and attempting to be a rescuer . My firefighter and I both got a new look at the people we respond to. Fortunately, we only had minor injuries. A sprained ankle, bruised knee, and soft tissue aches and pains of the back and neck. Do I need to bring ice cream to the meeting since my name got in the paper?
     I heard a rumor that Ann is making a presentation for the March meeting on the 5th. Also, you won't find the Stress Press in the mail this month. It's only on line. I expect to start printing it next month.
     I'm working on changing the Website design as well as the Newsletter format. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. That's about all for now.
     Enjoy health and happiness.
