Thanks, Carrie, that site was interesting.
There was a brief glimpse of one of the Asian dragon
boat races on the news. I hope Steve Hartman will do a
segment on it. It would be especially nice if he did
the one Katie and Patricia are involved in.
There was a place on the site where one could write in
and suggest stories, but I don't see it there now. If
dragon races is one of the choices I'll post here how
to vote. smile.
