🦉 Owlstown Newsletter #39: Still March in my time zone
Hello Owlstowners!
One of my goals was to send at least 1 newsletter every month, but since I'm sending this newsletter in the evening of March 31 in the eastern United States, some of you will be receiving this on April 1 in your time zone. Alas, I wish I had a more clever April Fools' Day newsletter to send.
Cheers,
Ian 🦉
