Web Log
Gonna try something new today … an actual log as I go thru the day. I’ll keep updating it with newest things on top:
4:45 p.m. Biz Tidbits columnist Nils Rosdahl stopped by to say he found a wild turkey dead on his porch when he returned from vacation. A real wild turkey. Not a consumed bottle. The gobbler had an arrow through it. CSIers from F&G surmised the turkey was shot in the field next to Nils’ place. It’d make me goosey to know bow hunters are letting ‘em fly nearby.
4:34 p.m.
Just checked out

3:30 p.m. Done with Tuesday editorial about Dec. 7 right at deadline. I tried to pull the majority anti-war and minority pro-war strains of the editorial board together for a comment. ‘Twasn’t easy.
12:20 p.m. Got a tip from an insider that Mayor Sandi Bloem isn’t gaga about Duane’s botanical garden — and that’s causing a trouble in high places in our little paradise. As I count heads, I see three council members who don’t want the garden/street giveaway. The vote of Her Sandiness might prove to be a critical tie-breaker.
11:20 a.m. Just got done with the morning Editorial Board meeting. I’m on tap to opine on my parents’ 9/11: Pearl Harbor Day. It won’t be easy because so many have written so well about “this date that will live in infamy.” Anyone out there have any thoughts?
11:15 a.m. Nick Walker , a former Sandpoint High Cedar Post editor, checks in from his LDS mission in Grand Rapids, Mich., to say: “I checked out your blog and also saw that there was a post from one of my favorite teachers, Marianne Love . All I can really say is that I miss Sandpoint.”
9:46 a.m. Free-lancer Marianne Love reports in from Sandpoint that she’s getting the itch to blog, and she sends along her first (impressive) efforts to prove it here .
9:26 a.m. Sportswriter Greg Lee sez he ran into ex-CDA police chief Dave Scates at Woody McEvers’ Rustler’s Roost, eating breakfast with former friends and officers, such as Greg Surplus . Dave’s about to retire from a security job in Montana. And he sez he enjoys not being in my print column. Heheheh.
