Re: [GSAS-Member] seen any small shubunkins recently?

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

I work right by the Renton Fish gallery and am not sure what's going on.  
The shelves are bare and have been for several months.  I keep expecting to 
drive by and see a closed sign on the door.  They still have a decent 
selection of fish, but that's it.  I hope they restock the shelves.  I can't 
even buy dog food there anymore.
