Gentlemen Thank you all for your reports from the various fronts of the war. Here I have resorted to diversionary tactics. I had such pity for the drought refugees, deer things, that were resorting to using my grey water for drink and yard plantings for sustinance that I placed a feeder for their use just outside the perimiter. Now the wily advisary waits until the bounty is spread for the refugees before making an appearance at dusk. Several have paid the price for such boldness and my bird feeders are left alone. The enemy appear to be greatly reduced in forces. I know not whether it is due to some beneficial rains that have fallen or the fact that to date twenty-three of their number have fallen to various methods of warfare. Keep up the good fight
