Great article! I am going to read it again before bed.

ALeonard was so right about SoWal- it has been a real community builder and is good "glue". SoWal was the starting "battle ground" and roundup for local issues (like the mentioned blue signs and Blithe). There is no other site like it- congrats Kurt on the "original" and the best. :wub:

Yes and no. Mostly yes. I am too tired to type it all out, but read back through the blue sign thread if you have time.

Subscriptions are $25 a year for weekly mail delivery! :clap: BARGAIN!!

I thought there might be something in that thread. I just haven't had the time to read it...and I am too tired tonight as well. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks jdarg!

Yes, that is a bargain. I am going to get a subscription for sure.

Thanks guys but Daddy-o is the one who deserves the credit. He has made this site newsworthy. I got to meet him and his awesome family a little while back and I thought all the great quotes he gave me last week for the interview really made it such a positive piece. Daddy-o is :cool:

Also, I had no idea that was DD's van.:blush: I asked permission for some pics and grabbed a few off the homepage since that is what people will see when they sign on the first time. Don't beat me up DD :wub::leaving:

That's pretty much a given anyway.

Do we get autographed copies, Lois Lane?
