The Traveling Manatee
2011

Well everyone, we have to apologize to you, the traveling manatee is missing from it's last location (which was behind the pulpit in our church)  We went to get her last Sunday to see where she would like to go next and she was gone.  It is quite possible that one of the residents that live at the retirement facility where we hold church "borrowed" her.  We will do our best to try to find her, but our fear is she may have found a permanent home living in the bathtub of some sweet, old lady.  We will keep you posted as news arrives.  p.s. Mr. & Mrs. Doug Willis previously had her for something like a YEAR.... FYI, she likes to travel around more frequently.  If you receive her, please be sure to send her out into the world prior to the next Boat Club meeting.  In a COMPLETELY unrelated case, David Riban said when he came home last Thursday night around 7pm, an elderly neighbor told him there were several Sherriff vehicles surrounding his house earlier that day with "Police Line" tape strung around the trees and driveway and that they packed-up and left around 6pm. She thought someone had died in the house, but David assured her 'no one was home.'   David took Friday off from work to try to find out what happened. He spent the morning on the phone with the Sheriff's office. They initially said there was no report from that area, but after some more prodding he was eventually connected to a  'Sergeant' (Bob?) Green. He said that they did respond to a complaint of a suspicious package in David's driveway, that they had cleared the scene. This kinda worried him, but the Sgt. said not to be alarmed. (??) He said it was not a valid threat, but was reported to their "Homeland Security" system anyway.   For some reason David thinks this is a coincidence to the email I sent regarding our missing manatee.  WHY, I have no clue!  I told David it is probably a disgruntled patient who was denied a prescription by one of them and this was a maneuver to scare them.  I also mentioned how easy it was (or so I've heard) to find his house on Google Maps.  Hmmmm. Stay tuned!
