I'm out of town working on a major life-change project, so blogging's been light, sorry. It could be like this into February.
I have to say that while I can't vouch for their accuracy, I like the way the Courier has been keeping the weather-related stories flowing on the website. I imagine the newsroom is fairly jumping with people trying to get the latest and best information they can, and feeling the glow when they get it right and on time. For you hard-working Courier folks, a note: it should feel this way most of the time. Whatever the story, dig in, get it and get it right, and the job's way more fun.
Stay dry!
For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.

I encourage you to share your own views and experience with me and other readers. How you do that matters, and I'm committed to maintaining a place where readers and commenters can feel safe from adolescent BS. So here's the deal:
There are two kinds of anonymous comments: those by people who have a genuine fear of revenge from the dark side, and those from darksiders just hiding to avoid accountability. You may post comments anonymously, but I reserve the right to treat anonymous comments as found items that belong to me and do with them as I see fit.
If, on the other hand, you're willing to stand by your convictions and post under your own name or a regular handle, your comments belong to you, and I'll edit them only on egregious violations of respect for others.
If this doesn't work for you, I'm sure you'll be happier somewhere else.
Steve, good luck with your life-change project. I just hope it doesn't involve a Sedona sweat lodge ;-)
ReplyDeleteor for that matter, anything else in Sedona right now (esp aorund Oak Creek)
Thanks, Fred, I guarantee there will be no sweats involved. Did you hear about the bill in the legislature by Albert Hale to regulate sweat lodges and similar?
ReplyDeleteThat's how regulation happens, folks. Anytime you are confronted by annoying (Caution: bullets exiting this gun are traveling very, very rapidly and may cause damage on impact) regulations, remember, there was an idiot who killed guileless people at the front of this process. Guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteulafI hadn't heard of the bill until now. Based on what I read in the "papers," it seems like Sen. Hale's motivation may be more/other than the typical knee-jerk "let's have a law/regulation" response to an unfortunate event. Sounds to me like he's trying to "protect the brand," so to speak. Which is understandable....
ReplyDeleteI've met and talked with Sen Hale, and he's a good guy. I'm sure he's responding to the concerns of his constituency, which includes a whole lot of Dineh, as well as those of natives all over the state.
