[birdky] Re: birdky - northern KY

Absolutely!  Hope the sister is doing well.  St. E is a good hospital if 
you have to be in one.  Ever try the Oxbow?  Rt 50 about a block west of 
I-275.  Turn south at the Shell station, right at the dead end (concrete 
plant), left at the next dead end.  Great for water fowl - probably knee 
deep in mud right now.
