*I just added the SR's popular Sportslink to the Uber Blogs roll, for your easy reading pleasure.

*There's a local angle to that deputy involved shooting in Spokane last week. A Berry Picker tells Huckleberries that she attended Coeur d'Alene High School with Deputy Jeff Thurman. And that his mother, Lynda, who was riding along and called for backup, is Northern Lakes Fire District commissioner.

*Update: The Coeur d'Alene Press removed that slanderous troll comment about me that slipped through the cracks during the holidays. No harm. No foul.

*I've done some blog roll adding and subtracting. Some inactive blogs were pruned. I added an "Uber Blog" roll that includes Eye On Boise and my western Washington buddy Orbusmax. Also, I added Sam Taylor's Bellingham Herald blog under "Friends of Huckleberries."

*More 2007 HBO Numbers: On Wednesday, I posted my final blog numbers for 2007: 2,248,474 page-views and 1,319,919 unique views. That's an increase of 660,160 page-views over the 1,588,314 from 2006. Or 41.6%. As always, thanks for helping make HBO successful.
