*So, anyone know what happened to Mary Souza's column for the Coeur d'Alene Press Editorial Page today? She's back from Europe. Brand X published her first Friday column last week. Inquiring minds want to know.

An HBO Blurker e-mails: "Maybe you can dig out the reason (s) for the delay in getting the new signs for Post Falls done. These are the ones that are at the Spokane Street Exit of I-90. They have been "under construction" now for well over a year and nearing 2. They tore out 2 great looking signs and seen to be putting in some type of water features but there has been very little work done on them this summer." Anyone?

*Sorry, I've been offline for a bit, chatting with Councilman MikeK, who showed up TWO WEEKS EARLY for the Huckleberries Online ethics confab. Eight of the nine invitees -- representing a good cross section of this local blogosphere -- have RSVP'd that they're going to attend the meeting with Editor Steve Smith and me. BTW, our receptionist gave MikeK a cup of fresh-brewed coffee, so his trip to the SR wasn't totally wasted.
