boy - speaking of stuck in a cultural backwater...just last night it struck me. all the smoke aimed at the guard, a lot by me, due to the quality of what they put out.  they have not grown with the community.  it is the same family for the last million years, who have "run" the local paper here. they got the new editor last year and they are either on a short leash by the bakers or lousy at their job. the paper has gotten worse if anything.  when a good story stands out head above the rest, it doesn't say much for the other 99% that's mediocre. the babb story was done well, and another I can't put my hand on...
 I miss bishoff, I  miss welch - they were interesting to read.**ok so the paper editions of the news are becoming dinosaurs quickly, get with it on the net with updates, interesting news from around the area.  why do we get links from one another on stories, instead of the RG?  and  thank you motley for all your research (don't break your back patting arm dude, lol)
