Rabies is a disease that is almost always 100% fatal. Every year, there are animals in Bucks County that test positive and people who are exposed to the disease.A raccoon found in Buckingham had tested positive for the Rabies Virus.People should educate themselves as to
- the nature of the disease
- the dangers of sick or dead animals
- proper protection for their pets
- what to do if there is any chance you were exposed to the disease.
There is an article in Phillyburbs with more details

The Washington Crossing State Park will be closing on July 9th 2007 for an indefinite period of time due to budget issues:
According to the PA Historical and Museum Commission site at http://www.ushistory.org/washingtoncrossing/
ALERT: As of Monday, July 9, 2007, Washington Crossing Historic Park will be closed to the public until further notice due to a budget impasse and furloughing of state workers. The Park is looking for actors to portray General Washington. Of course, that will be on hold until the budget is resolved
Perhaps old George and the boys should take the Durham boats up the Susquehanna to Harrisburg and deal with the mercenaries running Pennsylvania. Of course, they folks in the Capitol don’t have the cool hats the Hessians had.
Life just isn’t simple any more. Some folks in Upper Bucks were trying to make a few extra bucks with drilling leases and ended up complicating the titles to their properties.Supposedly the folks found mortgages attached to their properties that the local title companies didn’t know how to handle. Apparently the mortgages don’t really encumber the sale of the house or property. One family had to hire a lawyer to help sort things out.I don’t think you have to worry about buying a house in Upper Bucks and suddenly finding an oil or gas well in your neighbor’s yard but you should do some research on the subject if you are looking at real estate in that area.
