You're not alone

The photo today is of me at the old Soto house up at Camp Springs. You'll notice the friendly black lab behind me if you look closely. We were just piddling along looking for photo opportunities and I thought we would stop at this old, abandoned house, you know, maybe poke around a little?

So, I just whip in there and we hop out and I start demanding poses and giving instructions, when suddenly there's a huge black dog snuffling all over my pants leg. Then I notice that there are about five guys across the road breaking a horse and they're calling Cujo to come back. We hurry up the photo session and hop in the car and drive off.

I swear, you might think this part of the country is isolated, but start to do anything and suddenly you're in the middle of a crowd.

I don't have much to report this week, the wind has blown all the thoughts clean out of my head. I'll just give you the latest headlines and be done with it. Here's the outline for the Roby Star Record / Rotan Advance April 2, 2009 issue:
