All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails have been sick all this week. We noticed that they had been sneaking food out of the fridge and apparently being a lot more exploratory with their diet. So we think they must have eaten something that didn't agree with them. They say it's the flu, but we told them not to raid the fridge anymore and we'll see if it was really the Rocky Road.
