DOING THE SAME THING HERE, AT LEAST IT WAS NICE ENGOUGH FOR THE QUEEN MUMS FUNERAL TODAY, GOT TO WATCH IT ON THE T.V., THEY HAD OVER 180 BAGPIPERS, I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD THE BAGPIPES, BUT I BET YOU ALL HAVE, BUT WHEN THEY STARTED PLAYING THE PIPES, THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STOOD UP, IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD, IT WAS SAD BECUASE THEY QUEEN MUM WAS 101 YEARS OLD, AND IT WAS HER FUNERAL BUT JUST WATCHING THE PIPES BEING PLAYED WAS AWESOME.

Yah, but they copied our idea ya know...
Hey Wanye1, I was reading your post on pg.13 about the hiway 395 road kill Deer kills and just wanted to let you know who picks em' up and takes them to the road kill dumping grounds... My Uncle Dan Sweet works that whole stretch of Hiway 395 on night shift driving snow plow for the W.S.D.O.T. and picks up any Moose, Elk, or Deer he see's along the way as part of the job. He lives in Kettle Falls! Just thought you like to know...
