    Hey Y'all, February 5th of 2005 will mark 7 years for me as a daily reader of, and sometimes contributor to, the Free Republic. While cleaning out a few files over the weekend, I came across the following piece of fiction I cranked out a few years ago after my friend Bill was killed in an accident. I wrote it for two reasons: 1.) to put my own life in perspective after losing someone I cared a great deal about and 2.) for Bill's sister, Sue. I wanted her to understand that although his life had been cut short, it...

    Has anyone in the Miami area heard about the incident at Miami Airport whereby the USDA is planning to shoot and kill hundreds of jackrabbits on Monday? If so, I would appreciate any news you may have. The situation has been in constant flux, but as of right now, things are as follows: The animals which number in the hundreds, have been living on the grounds of the airport for over twenty years. During this time, there has never been one case of a risk to humans or a flight security problem. The airport is concerned about a future problem...

    SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) Sonoma County musician Doug Bowes will remember this Easter season as the one where he happened upon the Easter Bunny, and it attacked him. Bowes was walking near his home at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when the attack occurred.
