Dinosaur of the Day - Stegosaurus

Eventually, Lolly and some of the other dinosaurs succeeded in shoving Ambrose out of the way, and began the primary assault into Townville. Roiling dust, splintering wood, and soft mammal screams rippled out from their advance.

But despite her size, Lolly had never been one for combat. As the others charged on, she leaned against a tree and set to work on the newest edition of "Spines and Stripes" magazine. The folks back home would need to know that things were off to a good start...

Dinosaur of the Day - Apatosaurus

Ambrose came through next, but right outside of the portal his head-brain was distracted by some high-hanging leaves and got distracted.  His tail-brain urged him on, but it knew that once the head-brain was thinking about food, it could not think of anything else. Tail-brain would never understand.

Anyway, it was causing a problem because he was very large and now blocking the portal.

It has been nonstop work at the docks for Devaki down at the import company. Lifting freight and boxes an putting boxes and freight in other locations, all the while never mixing up the boxes. She had just survived a tiring back-to-back shift ending at 9am, and had finally gotten into bed and wished that everyone outside would just stop screaming.

Animal of the Day - Corsican Red Deer

Pasquale was the one who accidentally killed the Titcomb boys. He felt really bad about it, but not enough to turn himself in.

Besides, by this point everyone was too busy paying attention to the glowing portal which had appeared in the town square.

The Titcomb boys were the first casualties of the crisis, shot by the militia while robbing the house of a neighbor who had fled town.
