Jim Tibbs/Grant Pass, Ore.

*Phil Corless/A Family Runs Through It grew up without male role models, and he doesn't want that to happen to his children, as he explains in a terrific piece, here.

(Alas, Phil has pulled the plug on "The Old Goat Trail" to concentrate on his family views and Tall Trees blogs. Thanks for the Chuckleberries at the Goat Trail, nee CDA blog, Phil.)

*Bill McCrory/Whitecaps let's his hair down a bit today and pens a swell piece of humor re: the rules he's formed over the years as a theater "techie" here.

*In his Wayback Machine today, CDADave tells us about the record pressing plant that once was located in Lake City here.

*Bob Salsbury/Unbearable Bobness has been on such a roll that it's hard to pick among his offerings. So, I've opted for a melancholy poem (but you should check out the rest of his stuff, too) here.

*Marianne Love/Slight Detour describes how revelations about the Spokane mayor and an acquaintance nabbed for child porn have made her cynical here.
