Catbirds?

Eric, the dairy owner, was pretty happy today.  He got a call from a political official from Santa Barbara.  Normally, we here in the Northwoods just ignore anything from the states of California and New York so that wasn't what got Eric excited.  The official had read the on-line Wall Street Journal and wanted to talk to Eric about his letter to the editor.  Having one of his letter's printed in the WSJ has been on Eric's bucket list for awhile.  The letter was printed in the on-line version of the paper which has different content then the printed version that Eric receives.  W/O the phone call Eric might not have known his letter was published.  All sorts of things I could say about California. Instead will just admit that once in while useful things do come from there.
