Other than a few drunks starting their summer a bit early there wasn’t too much to do on the weekend shift tonight.
There were a few briefs to write up and schedules to formate, but I mostly listened to music in one ear and scanner chatter in the other.
However, like I said, the drunks are up [...]

June 20 — UPDATE: The blog meeting did not go well. Apparently, our Web content management contract is the most fascist thing since Mussolini. We are not allowed to take initiative. Something may work out later, but I basically want to scream.

My editors and I are meeting this week to discuss the possibility of establishing [...]

So apparent I felt compelled to snap a random picture of the shoreline while touring the pontoon construction site in Hoquiam last week. And then I felt compelled to make it black and white.
Here’s the pontoon tour story. That’s it.

Meet Lane Youmans — deputy coroner, cold case specialist, crime scene investigator and “butter boy” — he will be the subject of my Sunday Profile this week. Keep an eye out.
This is a photo of him at the 80-year-old 7th Street Theatre in Hoquiam where he often volunteers. It did not make the cut for [...]

An Elma man called me from Baghdad this morning.
He was checking on a story I wrote about his son getting bitten by a dog. He is stationed over at “Baghdad Iraq Camp Victory” and called just as my story went to the editor. He said it takes him 10 minutes to make a phone call [...]

My former college roommate Nick Eaton picked up a story or two for us on the Montesano softball team going to state last weekend. I think they won.
Nick and I have now both had stories in The Daily World, The Spokesman-Review and the Evergreen. Weird. There might be more, but who knows?
That is all.

UPDATED: This is 38-year-old Kori L. Lake.
He has everyone at the Grays Harbor County Courthouse and Sheriff’s Office either fascinated, terrified or both. His first appearance in court was a very strange experience.

Here are a few more surfing pictures from the Seventh Annual Clean Water Classic competition at Westhaven State Park in Westport. These didn’t make the paper. Enjoy.
For the record: I spent all day in court. Hopefully court quotes will be back soon.
More pictures below.

I have probably mentioned this story to a couple of people, but we finally ran it today. This is 71-year-old Kitty Rowell who now lives out of her car after her home burned down in December.
It’s a situation no one has been able, or willing, to fix. But it seems like something is definitely wrong [...]

I got the sweet gig of looking for warm weather art yesterday as record temperatures hit 81 degrees in Hoquiam. This is 3-year-old Jaimeson chucking cherry blossoms at me during a flower fight in the park.
I got lucky. I stumbled on this flower fight almost as soon as I started looking for wildart and it [...]
