One more day to contend with the Wild Card only -- and then the center ring on this three-ring circus becomes a whirl of activity again. Bob should have some special squirrel recipes for us after spending a week at Twin Lakes. Mebbe Family Phil has a tale to spin re: spotting Thong Man at City Beach. Or Ralph Bartholdt has a column to regale us with at The Skinny On North Idaho. I've been having fun on my four-day break. But it'll be fun to start tossing fodder your way again Monday to see what attracts attention and what doesn't. You surprise me sometimes. Until then, I slap this Wild Card on you -- and hope you give me some fodder for the two print columns that I write every week ...
