her dress, plugging in calls while
clad only in petticoat attire. A
breeze sprung up and she got up
from her post to close a door down
the hallway. AS she did so, the
door to the office slammed shut
and locked leaving her on the out
side away from her numbers, min
us her dress, and in somewhat OF
a other. After bordering a mon
ent she piled books up to a point
where she, being diminutive per,
son, was able to crawl through q
small door in the office.

Buried Since November,
Hungry Hog Energies

Hog wanted to be absolutely cer

holder for animal buried longes
following the November blizzard.
