[Mishmash] Nothing in particular

[Robyne Kerr]

>Hi David,

I think everyone who lived around Hobart at that time were touched by 
the tragic event. My sister was living on the Eastern shore and it 
was so hard to visit her.

The photo of the cars hanging is really something.

There is plenty of snow so the beer will keep flowing! We don't have 
the same water problems as the other states.
