But overall I'm satisfied, I did the job and now the town has a good paper adn after all, no town can sustain prolonged bitterness toward anything for very long. It's time to move on and I'm glad they are.<BR/><BR/>Let the sun shine in!Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-54807942241981790502007-05-11T07:25:00.000-04:002007-05-11T07:25:00.000-04:00Nobody (and I mean nobody) talks about the papers ...Nobody (and I mean nobody) talks about the papers anymore, and I think the citizens are losing out because the news is not punctuated with real people anymore. We've lost the flavor of small town politics, and the excitement. While the writing is still excellent, it's full of facts and government officials, and less about impacts on real lives. Which is another type of climate change, which brings us back to our original thought which was the weather and sunny days, <BR/><BR/>"Sunshine is the best disinfectant" <BR/><BR/>JAffamato Arts Etchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125148459026101934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-21877691253410436482007-05-10T07:29:00.000-04:002007-05-10T07:29:00.000-04:00Funny!

When I ran the town's newspaper I had a corrections column entitled Edad!, complete with a turn of the last century line drawing of a guy in waistcoat leaping out of a chair smacking his forehead. We didn't use it for big gaffes, but it was pretty funny and we enjoyed seeing the word permeate around town after a bit.<BR/><BR/>I agree, nothing beats seeing the dog run around the park having a good time.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-88702591514392625652007-05-09T15:35:00.000-04:002007-05-09T15:35:00.000-04:00First off, nice usage of the word "Egad!" - you ju...First off, nice usage of the word "Egad!" - you just don't read it enough. :)<BR/><BR/>Second, out in the NW we are beginning to have consecutive, warm sunny days and are definitely loving it after a spring comprised of many rain showers. It's hard to beat going to the park, which borders the Willamette River, after work with the dog and a good book and settling in for the evening. It'll be some time before we hit ninety, but I, too, can be thankful that when those days do come, I can go outside, get my fill of the sun, and return home to our air conditioned condo.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120883583219857456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-83777889300415467672007-05-09T09:28:00.000-04:002007-05-09T09:28:00.000-04:00Oxymoron: Eminent Canadian pysician. -ChuckOxymoron: Eminent Canadian pysician. <BR/><BR/>-ChuckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
