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 Dave Bond's (pictured) upgraded SilverMiners.com Web site here. Hot dang, it's good. The site's attractive. Plus you get the latest rants, er, columnizing from DeePee here, Bob Hopper and David Morgan.
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.
