Inside Huckleberries — 7/20/05

*I’ve been a bit surprised at the lukewarm response to HBO items with Coeur d’Alene Press links that I’ve posted re: Officer Mike Kralicek and his family getting the screwgie from the State Insurance Fund. Whazzup?!

*Gotta teeth cleaning appointment tomorrow morning, so I’ll be in a little late. About 9.
