Tweeters,

Hidden below are the four letter names of 40 Washington birds. In case of severe boredom, see
how many you can find. Sorry if the story seems a bit disjointed; it is. Also, apologies to
whomever has done this before, if anyone has.

Dick and Greg were playing with Lego when Hideo Nomo, Sammy Sosa, and Larry Bowa came
over to eat bran flakes with Will Clark, just to kill time. The surf was pounding the sand a
buff color, when, as fate would have it, a shopping mall appeared through the bush. Bobo was
back in the cage (vacated by Ivan) he called home, when, with a lisp, he said "No pa, I'm
thick, would you core the bananas and cook them in the oven?" Bram overheard this and asked if
he could mash them. Bobo said that would be fine. After lunch they all got in the Olds Delta
88 and left. When they got to the home of Rosa and Cora they watched the brook veer and flow
around the trees. "Shall we come over in a boat?", I asked Sall. "No, go away to WA and see
Sora and Smew." On a whim I asked "How about Ruff?" With a sigh and a mope, she answered
" CO." "Lo", I replied, "I don't think there are too many records of Ruff in Colorado. Where
is the cote?" A wisp of a breeze arose and she replied "We sold the pigeons."

Answers will appear in caps below.
