MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit While the HowCo Big Sit! cannot boast the great totals of last year's other Big Sit! circles, by HowCo standards (we ARE in the depauperate Piedmont!), we haven't done badly. Totals have been: '99 - 46 (it was raining!), highlight - Sora '00 - 55 (our high count) '01 - 49 including a very cooperative Gadwall and TWO Merlins '02 - 46 Whatever circle you join, the Big Sit! IS a lot of fun. So get out there, and park it for a while. Save shoe leather, and join in with circles from all of the US and at least three other foreign countries (UK, Netherlands, and I forget. Canada?)
