I already have one kitten and I want another one to be my best friend. The other ones my best friend too and I like my daddy. I want a princess dress, rocking chair, a puppy dog that dont jump on you, that just fetches a ball. I want a radio, pink and lotion. Lotion that is my own and pa cannot use. I want a heart that talks and I want Santa Clause.

I feel proud to be a part of the support for the work that Operation Migration is doing towards continuing the existence of the cranes for future generations. So I want tothank you very much for running my story at Operation Migration "In the Field." and giving it the coverage they did.

Gas Price Drumbeat: High gas prices hurt entire local economy

To ColumbiaMagazine.com
When we have to buy our gas in other places, we grocery shop there, and we eat at restaurants there too. This price gouging is hurting our entire economic situation. These are hard times, and I do not consider these posts about gas prices to be whining, but to be very informational. I also am very appreciative that finally someone has the courage to stand up! Keep up the good work Mr. Doss. As I arrived in town December 7, 2007, gas was at least .08 higher in Columbia than Campbellsville, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Chicago.
