Working the Tangredi puzzle.

In TLAF's memory on her third anniversary, I am watching the Phillies give me agita.

The Biloxi paper is rolling so early tomorrow morning to get away from the storm, we are sending all the copy tonight. We've done that a few times for storms, just send a lot of previews and analyses and not even try to have any live results. It's what happens when you have half a dozen papers in the obvious paths of hurricanes.

We also have one Western paper who has said, because we roll so early (they don't), we can't get all the scores, so we're not going to run ANY of them. That paper is also all analysis and features and columns. Might be the future of print sports sections, I guess.

That's why we don't do the local paper anymore. Or laugh at them.

No. Per agreement with the Donley County Justice Court. We agreed I would complete the course and they wouldn't tell my insurance company I was driving 85 in a 75. Sounded like a good deal.

Sounds like a deal. Geez sometimes if you're not going 85 in a 75 you get run over by a semi...

Y'all are crazy down there. We don't even have 75's.... which is good since the Sainted LBN would have disintegrated at that ungodly speed...

Well, the DPS trooper was doing 75, and I almost ran him over. :shock: Early morning heading up to Colorado, talking with the kids in the back, wide divided highway, nice rented newer SUV, no cars except me.....and the DPS trooper.
