Things I learned this week in Huntsville:
I got a note from Burritt on the Mountain this week. Seems that at the last City Lights & Stars concert, someone left them a little present: "A beautiful black & white male (neutered) cat found us at the last City Lights Concert (Aug 22). We don’t know if someone dropped him off, or lost him here, or if he wandered on site. We are keeping him in the office, he is about a year or so old, well groomed, well mannered, quite a conversationalist and a meeter/greeter to everyone who enters the office."

The Better Business Bureau system is warning sports, music, and theater fans who are trying to get their hands on the hottest event tickets that they might get burned when shopping online with TicketsMyWay.com. While TicketsMyWay.com might claim that they guarantee to beat any broker's price, customer complaints and the terms and conditions on the Web site reveal a less-than-stellar dedication to customer service.

The observance of Ramadan reminds us that our country is an impressive mosaic of faiths and creeds, and that America’s religious tolerance and diversity is one of our nation’s greatest strengths.

On a personal note, last week because of some continuing medical problems, I was not able to complete the newsletter. I didn't get the health scores up or the dog or the cat of the week. I apologize for that and hope that you will look at them this week. I now have last week's scores up and hope to have this week's up on the front page of the website later today or tomorrow. I appreciate you bearing with me at this difficult time.
