The porcupine is almost unique. It is a very large rodent, but its peculiarity is that it protects itself with barbed quills.

Summer is a season of outdoor parties, camping and picnics. Most involve family and friends who are their cottages or camping at campgrounds. They all seem to involve cooking outdoors, or enjoying a meal outdoors.
Last week in the Bulletin on page 8, we laid out a full page of outdoor cooking recipes. Some of those recipes could have gone a long way when I was a Cub-Scout leader. We were constantly on the lookout for recipes that our cubs could use when we took them camping.

It is hard to believe there is less than two months until the kids have to go back to school!
Heck they just got out of school two weeks ago and in about eight they will be back at it.
