Front-Page News

Folks, I've already expressed my love for the Warsaw area, but reading the Times-Union this week has given me the feeling that I live in Hicksville. Take yesterday's front-page...

This picture was shown only because it supposedly (or supposably, whichever you prefer) looks like a dog. This was deemed worthy of the front-page. And right next to it was the account of a guy who got into an altercation with his son-in-law and began to shoot at the tires on his son-in-law's vehicle. This was also found on the front-page of the paper.

And if you go back a few more days, you'll find the news that a man was found sitting naked in some pine trees. I think this was included on a later page, though.

So what have we learned this week? If you want to get on the front-page of the newspaper, find oddly shaped produce or shoot at a car. But if you expose yourself indecently while hanging around some foliage, you won't make the cut.

My apologies

The banner at the top of this blog might give you, the reader, the impression that most of the topics brought up will have some depth and relevance. My apologies. It is my intent to incorporate a little depth and a smidgen of relevance every once in a while.

The Book

To clear up any confusion, "The Education of Little Tree" is not my favorite book. I have read it, but I only remember that it involved a Native American boy who lived w/ his grandparents who enjoyed reading to him from the dictionary every evening. I've had the thought about being a tree (as greeny as that sounds) for a while, but not until a couple days ago did the name come to me. Although I did steal it, I guess.
