Lamb on the Run: Get in touch with your inner…ah…rodent

Hugh Holub is a Tubac lawyer with experience in water law and new housing developments…

…But he also finds time to write…and not just the weekly grocery list…

…Hugh’s the author of “Get in Touch With Your Inner Rodent,” a parody of self-help books…

…On the cover it says it’s “From the General Delivery University”…

…Chapter 29 is about how to live forever and he’s got some pretty good, although apparent, suggestions, such as avoid meteor showers, don’t play golf in a thunderstorm and “Drink the water”…Hugh says it’s one of the safest things you can do today in America…

…There’s a chapter on how to ruin a relationship, followed later by a chapter “How to Live Alone”…There are seven rules on how to avoid being killed by policemen and 1,000 ways to save money…One is don’t buy a new car and the next one is don’t buy a used car…

…The book’s available for $15.95 from lulu.com, at the Book Shop in Green Valley Mall and at Antigone Books in Tucson…

On the road playing license plate word games … “PLAY WRT” (play wort? … Maybe playwright) … “NANCILY” and from the state Motor Vehicle Division … “GO4BASS” … “GOKART1 and “GOKART2” “G0O0OO0” … “R3BRATS” “R3BRATZ” and “R3BRTZ” …

…”RAGGTOP” … “RAGTOP” … “RAGTOP1”… “RAGTOP2” and “RAGTOP7” …

Remember Princess Chunk, the 44-pound cat found wandering around Voorhees, N.J.?…Well, it turns out it’s Prince Chunk, a male…

…His owner’s house was being foreclosed, and she turned him loose, hoping he’d be rescued…And, voila! He was…

…After appearing on TV’s “Live with Regis & Kelly” talk show, interest soared…He had to be secretly moved from one foster home to another while the Camden County Animal Shelter looked for a home…

…Thousands called trying to adopt the cat…There were even calls from California and London…

…The shelter settled on a couple with a teenage child…The vet gave Chunk a clean of health and he moved in…

…The shelter won’t reveal the name of Prince Chunk’s new owners, but you could probably find them by looking for a family that recently had to reinforce its floors…

…Some of those following the case hope he can lose some weight…

…Unfortunately for the other cats in the shelter, no one who called was interested in another cat…

A friend, Sharon Megdal, is head of Arizona Water Resources Research Center in Tucson…She recently visited Paris to present a job-related lecture…But she had time for some sightseeing in the City of Light…

…One of her stops was Le Mus/e des Ecouts de Paris (The Paris Sewer Museum)…I wonder if she got picture postcards…

…Actually, she did get to see some of the more familiar sites, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre…

…She said guide books didn’t give very high ratings to the sewer museum and described it as “fascinating and slightly stinky”…

Jim Lamb’s a reporter for the Green Valley News and says on a Paris trip with his wife they didn’t visit the Louvre or climb the Eiffel Tower, but had time for a couple of flea markets.
