A program note for you… we’ve added a new show here at WVBI. It’s the Beaver Island Birding Report with hosts Pam Grassmick and Donna Hardenburg. Hard to find better experts than these two ladies on the birds of Beaver Island. If you missed their first show last Friday, you can hear it as podcast. Just go to W-V-B-I dot net and click on the podcasts menu at the top. And listen again this Friday after for this week’s show at 1:30, 3:30 and 5:30.

Here’s a thought for the day,” Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. “- Theodore Roosevelt
On a the lighter note …According to the Bible what time of day was Adam created? A little before Eve!!!
