 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, January 31, 2004 VOL. III Issue 1U HOLABIRD WARMS UP, FOR A WHILE Friday in the Hyde county area started out at -12. Shortly before midnight, the temp was 31. This morning, at press time, it has cooled to a tolerable -1. Cold temps don't bother the Hinkles. Harold Hinkle says, "I keeps out the rirr-raff". His father, E.E. Hinkle, doesn't mind the weather either. The 101 year old boy has managed to walk to Harold and Mary's for dinner every day this week. He wasn't even hungry when he got there most of the time. RITES PENDING FOR ESTHER DALTON Esther Dalton, who is apparently a relative of Mary Hinkle's, has died this past week. Her funeral is planned for Monday, February 2, 2004. There will be more on Esther on a future date, providing we can find it. FERRIS TRIP SOUTH POSTPONED Ken Ferris had planned to go to Arizona to dig for gold yesterday. That was until he unexpectedly was the winning bidder for a banjo on e-Bay. It will be delivered to him on February 4. After that, it is expected he'll be off to Arizona with his banjo on his knee. He needn't worry about his wife, Joyce, either. She's doing extemely well under her daughters care. PUBLISHERS NOTES by Jerry Hinkle OOPS! I thought that yesterday was the end of January, but it's today. The Bravenet services I described yesterday are up, and the Vote Caster is running. The web journal was given the title "Signs Along the Highway of My Life". Grandad's life story will start being told sometime on Monday. I have taken several notes through the years. I will publish those, and will add to them on the web whenever possible. My dad has been really cranky this month concerning the Holabird Advocate, He'll be even more so when he find out that it cost him 60 cents. My advice to you Readers is not to share anything about the Newsblog with him as he does not enjoy it anyway. I have syndicated the Holabird Advocate with a service called Atom. The deal with Atom sounds promising. Hopefully, we'll know more about it in the coming days month. My cousin, Susan Geitzenauer, always said I should be syndicated. I hope the only difference in our Newsblog is the number of Readers going up. Time will tell. Now for my Super bowl pick. I've never been right so I'll take the Patriots by 17 points. I just hope the Winder Dance Party in Clear Lake didn't hold their festivities this weekend. That's too much fun in a few days time. Of course, I've never had too much fun.
