*Former colleague Susan Drumheller , who turned in her notebook for a gig as North Idaho coordinator for the Idaho Conservation League, sent along a link to a column she wrote for the Bonner County Bee here . And a nice note: “As you can see, I still aspire to one day be an editorial writer.”

*Colleague Taryn Brodwater reported Saturday: “I seriously have never seen a last name as long as the one in the press release below: Wael Morkosnakadamorkos. 18 letters - darn near the entire alphabet.” (Morkosnakadamorkos suffered a head injury and was transported to a Boise hospital after his disabled vehicle was struck on I84, near the Ada/Canyon County line. The ISP made the report.)
