Jim Bullard reports overpopulated deer numbers in the Canaan Valley and also
in parts of Pennsylvania and Michigan. On automobile deer whistles; 50% say
they work, 50% say they don't.

Leslie Rogers asked how long the black swallowtail stays in its chrysalis.
Monarchs stay in for 2 weeks if that's any help.

John Hartge inquired about egg salmonella and how viable is concern over it.
Ellis Manning explained that restaurants are required to go to great measures
to insure that egg inventories are as safe as possible. The effects of eating
the eggs in question is said to be dangerous to the disabled or weak - of
little concern to the healthy and strong. Are Ted Fletcher's chickens' eggs
safe? Probably but to break open enough to make a proper meal would
probably give a person carpal tunnel syndrome so better to go to a
restaurant.

The hour was late and we closed the meeting with hearty thanks to the
Fletchers for their hospitality. We agreed to next meet on August 6 at
Riverton, home of the Ellers. Peter Austin would have been the reader if he
wasn't going to be in Maine. Some people will go to great lengths to shirk
their responsibility. So sue me

Humbly submitted sometimes,

Secretary/Treasurer
