Bob: Fun To Read About Country Cousins In CDA

Bearable Bob: Before discovering this blog and entering the blogopia you’re creating, I didn’t know that much about CD’A except the basics - beach, lake, wannabe destination resort, sprawl, Hagadone … nice town for a first date with a hefty racked bleached blonde divorcee and to kill a hot summer day when you just gotta be around crowds and idiot teenage boys on eardrum rupturing 750cc rice rockets but not much more … I remember when it was a sleepy little nothing dirt town by a big lake…but HBO has exposed me to so much more of the area - URD’s, Education Corridors, Tinfoilery, Larry Spencer, the Legend of Ron Rankin, Hagadone as Mr. Burns, Vote by Mail, Bill Sali, the relentless Thom George, bad brownies, etc. … I have to admit, that even though I poke fun at your little Mayberry I’ve grown quite fascinated by the insights and opinions and fluidly dynamic issues of your area and that’s entirely due to this amalgamation of news, gossip, opinion, mindray receptors delivered via the catalytic conversion of dead trees to the sparking interwebs. It’s a kick. I have no interest in living over there, you folks are still a little too The Flintstones meet the Beverly Hillbillies, but it’s fun as heck to read.

DFO: ‘Tis hard to believe that we’ve been doing this for 3 years (as of Friday). In dog years, Hucks would be 21. But, I believe, blog years are longer than dog years. Mebbe 10 years for every one year of ours. I’m proud of you other bloggers as you keep on keeping on — and pile up your own anniversaries. Bay Views, F-Words and CastMD all celebrated blogiversaries in recent days. Hat Tip to them — and all of you guys involved in making this brave new cyber world possible.
