For some reason, I’m fond of this photo w/Spencer, taken at the 2008 Blogfest @ Capone’s/CdA — and it has nothing to do with that gaudy, plaid shirt that I’m wearing. (BTW, my brother, Frito Ray, is in the background at the right side of the photo. Frito Ray & his wife, the DFOs, and our mother, Grandma Mo voted straight-ticket for the incumbents. In other words, that’s 5 votes. Are you listening Councilman Mike Kennedy? You swept the Oliveria precincts. Ah, how many votes did you win by now?)
DFO: BTW, there was no special levy election for the Timberlake Fire District. It’s something that’s being proposed. Some of us got mixed up by the lead to Spencer’s recent mass mailing. You can read it here.
D.F. Oliveria is a columnist and blogger for The Spokesman-Review. Huckleberries Online was judged the best 2008 Idaho newspaper blog by the Idaho Press Club. And the best 2007 news blog in the Pacific Northwest by the Society for Professional Journalist. Print Huckleberries is a past winner of the Herb Caen Memorial Column contest by the National Association of Newspaper Columnists. The Readership Institute of Northwestern University cited this blog as a good example of online community journalism.

DFO: I always knew you spoke softly and carried a big stick, for those special occasions of course.
