Posted by: thepinetree on 01/20/2020 09:16 AM
Washington, DC...As we celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's. federal holiday we thought it was appropriate to share with you his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech. It was delivered on August 28, 1963. We have the full text of the speech and video as well. "I Have a Dream" Speech Text.....I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.

Fireball is the Calaveras County Animal Services Pet of the Week
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/20/2020 09:55 AM
San Andreas, CA...Meet Fireball, a shorthaired young adult brown tabby with distinct, gorgeous markings on her coat and tail. Playful and spirited with a larger than life personality, Fireball is always up for a new adventure. Her self-reliant nature doesn’t make her much of a cuddle cat but she enjoys being petted and is always entertaining. Often vocal, Fireball is the kind of feline that demands to be noticed. She will occasionally show affection by giving little love nips and for that reason we feel she should not be in a home with very young children. Nor does she seem to care for other felines so would likely do best as an only cat. We are confident that Fireball will make a wonderful addition to a loving and cat savvy household that would also honor her independent spirit.
