The countdown to Blogfest ‘09 continues with only 3 days remaining until the get-together from noon until 3 p.m. Saturday at MoonDollars in Post Falls. I’ll re-post directions to MoonDollars (in the Dickinson Insurance building @ 609 Syringa St./Post Falls in the next fews days. Meanwhile, in the news this evening, Obama wants to create a $634B health care fund here. Obama’s daughters are going to get a Portuguese water dog here.VP Joe Biden slips when he asks for Web site’s “number” here. And another Wild Card is on the table.
P.S. I replaced the Leibovitz post with the daily APhoto Of The Day. Some days, it takes longer to find a good photo than other days.

Here is an interesting concept, letting the community be a story assignment editor for a reporter:
http://www.pennlive.com/columns/patriotnews/asiseeit/index.ssf?/base/columnists/1235175910183230.xml&coll=1
“As a Patriot-News reporter, I’m starting this blog to ask readers for their ideas of community-based, next-door stories that deserve attention. I’m looking for stories of personal triumph, innovative classroom projects, new businesses opening, emerging trends, or anything else that shines the spotlight on a corner of your community that you consider a hidden treasure. ”

Gosh, if Joe Biden keeps slipping up, he’ll make Dan Quayle look like an intellectual!
