<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Those of you that are acquainted
with me from the days of yore, know that I, Marius Atreidae, have
worked as a trusted liaison for Dukes, Kings and commoner alike.
I have carried secret messages, contracts of death and rules of engagement for a
surprisingly varied list of movers and shakers. Though I have been in
semiretirement for the last few years, I have once again been hired to
fulfill the role of liaison. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>For an undisclosed sum I am to make
an announcement for a gentle who temporarily has no access to his usual
message runners (the Raven's Fort List) at his place of labor. While
on an extended sabbatical in his homeland the news has reached
my solicitor of an outbreak of the Red Death among the staff of
the university of higher education where he has for several years liberated
the uninformed of their geographical ignorance. Fearing to expose the
world to his already infected runners and fearing even more to expose himself to
the Red Death (or his co-workers), it is my task to announce the
following.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"><FONT size=4>The Lord of the Manor begs me
announce that the sacred mowing of The Stones has commenced. </FONT><FONT
size=2>Under the watchful eye of said Lord Saracens with whirling
blades have made the initial cut on strategic areas. A second pass
over the areas just before the Defender of the Fort hoop-la should
leave the land as smooth as a Lizard Keep Homebrew. All that will be
left will be to remove any fresh troll spores. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"><FONT size=2>T.L.o.t.M. also begs me
apologize for the erratic pattern of the mowed path between the Swiencamp and
The Upright Stones. Apparently the Saracens got into the
Gongfermer Mead before staggering back to work. T.L.o.t.M.
assures me that the leather and bunny fur torture device with the chrome plated
shackles and </FONT></FONT><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>the twin
bicycle horns, the pine scented air freshener, the string of 'dealybobs', the
overhead mirror, and the personalized plates with "Love Hurts" written on them,
was put to good use. Those lucky Saracens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Thank you for your
attention.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>A portion of this announcement was

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Once again, the barony came together to
prove that we can move mountains. That is, assuming the mountains are
made of small debris , wood, or pine needles. The site work is going
great. I keep hearing that we're "running ahead of schedule", which
makes me very, very nervous...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The main mowing will pull alot of our work
together. I am currently under the impression we will have three
brushhogs. We have one official workday left, September 8th and
9th. This will be our busiest weekend, as there are many jobs that must
be saved until then. I would list them, but you would fear the list and
run. We will also have a team out there early on Friday, September
14. The event is only 1 month away... 32 days away...
768 hours away.... 46,080 minutes away... 2,764,800 seconds
away (which sounds like FOREVER) ...</FONT></DIV>
