[Dailydrool] Propane

[Valerie]

Last night on the news a farmer in Indiana was interviewed. Propane in Indiana has quadrupled in price because of demand and the severe cold. Last winter he heated his home and barn for $2000. this year it is $8000. and an article in USA TOday noted that the cost of propane had doubled in North Dakota and a woman had frozen to death in her home there when she ran out of propane and could not afford more to heat her trailer. what does this have to do with bassets? Last week Leslie Ames of Basset rescue of Montana ran out of propane. Generous Droolers have been pitching in to help. And there is a current fundraiser. Go to http://www.youcaring.com/other/quilt-for-warmth/133989 and take a chance on winning a lovely queen/king size Basset hound quilt made from the fabric stashes of Val Brewer, Daria Emma! and Doug Dropp. It's going to be a long winter. Let's help out our Montana bassets.
