Last night we heard a "squeaking" and my dog started going nuts. So I let her out and she ran right over to where we saw a little tiny critter. At first we thought it was a baby squirrel that had fallen from the nest.
Then this morning we woke up about 5:00 to my dog literally standing over us whining and being all obnoxious. We knew why she wanted to go out because she NEVER has to go out that early. However I let her out to go sniff around and then called her back a little later.
Later this morning I inspected the nest some more and decided, no they aren't squirrels they are BUNNIES! Much to my surprise there were four little buggers in that nest. Apparently the mother rabbit comes back every night for about 5 mins to feed them and then off she goes for the rest of the day until the next night.
So today I changed my filters. The recommended life of these filters are 90 days. So 3 months ago I changed the filters and now its time to change them again. Amazing what can happen in 90 days, and now I know why my house is so dusty!
The press release was sent out today, I think. Currently there have been 11,079, that is tracked from PRWeb. This could just be the number of RSS readers that are reading in all of their press releases. I'm skepitcal. However - here's the "official" press release.
Blogging and Literacy -- Teaming Up for the Holidays
The Virginia Literacy Foundation, PharrOut LLC, and RVABlogs.com announce their second annual holiday fundraising effort supporting the fight against illiteracy in Virginia.
Richmond, VA (PRWeb) December 9, 2006 -- The Virginia Literacy Foundation, PharrOut LLC, and RVABlogs.com announce their second annual holiday fundraising effort supporting the fight against illiteracy in Virginia.
Through RVABlogs.com, PharrOut LLC and the Virginia Literacy Foundation (VLF) hope to reach out to Richmond's blogging community in a unique awareness and fundraising campaign. Bloggers can learn about VLF at RVABlogs.com, donate through a secure paypal account, and access the code to add the fundraising graphic and link to their own blog - thus allowing their blog readers to do the same.
"The response last year was amazing," said Scott Pharr, co-owner of PharrOut LLC. "Although PharrOut supports nonprofit groups throughout the year, the holiday season proved to be the perfect time to bring the Richmond blogging community and the non-profit community together. Supporting and promoting the Virginia Literacy Foundation is a natural fit since bloggers have an inherent interest in literacy…without reading and writing there would be no blogs."
The Virginia Literacy Foundation provides funding and technical support to private, volunteer literacy organizations throughout Virginia through challenge grants and direct consultation. These organizations support K-4th grade-level adult readers with one-on-one instruction and tutoring. The VLF also works in partnership with all public and private literacy organizations in Virginia to attack illiteracy in the workplace and to provide family literacy training.
Developed by local Web development firm PharrOut LLC, RVABlogs.com (www.RVABlogs.com) acts as a blog aggregator - collecting posts from Richmond area blogs to a common site and promoting a sense of community amongst these bloggers.
