We get a bit more snow and fog here onB Shriner Lake than does most of northeast Indiana, and snowplows arrive later and less frequently here than in more civilized parts of Whitley County, so life at World Headquarters right now is a bit like that of the Overlook Hotel back when the Torrances were caretaking the place. Hmmm. Where could that axe have gone to? Most of the above has more to do with the feverish output of a flu-wracked mind than whatzup, but it does illustrate one essential point: nothing – neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night – can stop us from delivering whatzup to our more than 350 distribution points in the Fort Wayne area week after week after week. Can your 90 Ye a r s mail carrier make that claim? Ours can’t.
