Inside Huckleberries — 6/7/05

*Gas was still $2.06.9 per regular gallon this a.m. when I fueled at Exxon, corner of Appleway and Gummint Way. Anyone beat that out there?
…
*In case you were wondering, Joe Butler /Brand X never followed through on his plans for a blog because The Powers That Be were nervous about the liability associated with this medium. In a way, that nervousness saved Joe headaches. I can’t see Hagadonia granting any writer wiggle room to think/write freely.
…
*Commenter Doug Hughes raises some interesting questions about the separation between news and opinion at the SR in today’s “News Is A Conversation” critique. You should check in on the ongoing constructive criticism leveled at the SR online by Doug, Marianne Love and others here .
…
*Another SR must-read for news junkies is notes from our Daily Briefing, compiled by blogmeister Ken Paulman , here .
…
*Kootenai Valley News Press picked up my Tombstone Generator for the Boundary County Property Owners Association to illustrate its followup news story about the levy passage here .
…
*Finally, got the blog numbers that have been missing since Thursday. I missed by 3 pageviews of scoring three days with 5000 or more. Tuesday through Thursday: 4997, 5033 and 5118. Total for the week was a little off because of the three-day Memorial Day weekend: 26109. But the month of May set another record with 122,780 pageviews for a daily average of 3961. Thank you for checking in.
