This video is dedicated to all those who think my videos should be more interesting.
Welcome to the Grays Harbor County Courthouse in Montesano. It’s beautiful. It’s also where they keep Justice in these parts.
I was at the courthouse working on the new Mount Everest of depressing stories — much worse than the sex offender thing. [...]

Remember in biology class when they showed you what happened when a predator was removed from its ecosystem. All the other wussy animals just explode, growing “exponentially” without any natural enemies.
Then eventually, the food supplies dwindle and the population crashes until it reaches a sustainable level. Anyway, it seems like my blog must crash.
This is [...]

Right now I’m eating at Denny’s. And trying not to think about the photo of the newest local sex offender who is staring out from my computer screen back at the office.
It’s strange to face all the Harbor’s most disappointing and disturbing stories before I can even get a cup of coffee. But it’s [...]

So seeing as how my brother will probably want his computer back soon I should figure out this silly moblogging thing. What a ridiculous word.
Anyone with tips on posting photos straight from the phone should let me know.
For the record: This took like two days to write on my tiny keyboard. Take care.

I have never seen so many orange, traffic cones in my entire life.
And I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many people say, “It’s been smooth” in one day before. It’s like everyone in Hoquiam had a meeting. But for the most part, the detour — which threatens to cripple local logistics — has been [...]

That’s right, a llama.
One of many wonderous animals wandering around the Watts farm near McCleary. The farm visit – which included longhorn carcasses, firearms, a boneyard and stir fry — made quite the climax for the weekend’s surprises.
Our travels carried us from the coast of the Pacific Ocean to a booth in Billy’s bar to the [...]

Meet Spc. Mark Weeks, of Aberdeen, who has been running around training all day. Typically he works at Mary’s River Lumber, but on Jan. 12, he was training for war.
This is probably my favorite picture that didn’t make the paper. I don’t know why, but I think it conveys how tired they are by mid-afternoon. [...]

Lisa, Christina and I have had quite a few adventures this weekend, but the emus are pretty close to the top. Christina lives on a farm near McCleary where her father raises emus. Big, weird looking birds.
The horrible noise in the background is a goose that will not shut up. This had to be posted [...]

For those of you in the loop, you know I’ve been working on a two-part-ish series about a weekend I spent with the National Guard company out of Montesano. It ran today with a couple sidebars and double-truck (two page) photo spread.
Here’s the story: One green duffel bag each, camouflaged body armor, a Kevlar helmet. [...]

A new Map “page” has been added to the top of this blog that has a photo link (as seen above) that will take you to a customized/interactive/embeddable Google map that will let you explore places, pictures and videos I hit throughout Grays Harbor County.
This is just a start. I hope to actually update this [...]
