Still no update

The Daily News hasn't updated its site yet.



Jeez Louise! You can get more, and more current, news reading the Hard Copy message board [link at left].

Let's call 'em

If we all called, emailed or wrote to The Daily News, maybe they'd update their site.



It's still Wednesday, December 06, 2006 to them. My calendar says December 13.

Still snoozin'

Waiting for the current Daily News to come online so I can read about the Parish Council meeting. If they report it.

The issue showing as of this time is December 6.

I swear, their subtitle oughtta be "Asleep at the Wheel."

Repeat warning

There've been problems with livestock on the roads.

Drive carefully; don't speed. It ain't any fun hittin' a horse, or driving into a ditch to avoid one.

Tell your local school board about this one.

Good post at Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools:

At DonorsChoose you can be a philanthropist for ten bucks (or more). Go to the site and choose from among thousands of projects submitted by public school teachers -- everything from books needed to technology to class trips. Once the project's been funded, DonorsChoose buys the materials for the teachers, and you get a package of letters and photographs from the students. Link

Seems like a way to replace the schools' supplies and equipment that the insurance didn't...o0o..

If you've never been to Cool Tools, check it out - especially with the gift season fast approaching. The Tools part of the site title is a bit misleading; items include books, websites and computer programs, not merely pliers and such.

Mr. Kelly's site doesn't take the place of the "biggies" like Epinions or Consumer Search, but it's great fun to browse.

Be careful out there.

Armed Robberies Continue:

Police have identified a number of suspects in a series of armed robberies that began on Nov. 14 and continued into the weekend, but it is the series of six robberies between last Sunday and Friday that has the attention of police.

In the latest incidents, both Friday, female victims were again robbed at gunpoint by two black males wearing hooded clothing and ski masks as they neared their respective places of residence.

Might I suggest to the Bogalusa Police Department... Identify the nearest heroin dealer, and you'll probably find these jerks.

Congrats to our drill team!

Bogalusa High School hosted a JROTC drill meet Saturday.

Our armed drill team placed first!

Could use more of an audience next time. Admission was free, the food was decent, and the weather was cool but sunny and nice.

Here they are on the field:

La Hwy 3241

As mentioned on the Hard Copy message board, right now until about Dec. 10 is the comment period for La Hwy 3241, a four-lane road that will link Washington Parish to more populous points south.

Email Barry Obiol in favor of it, please. His name, email, phone and the particulars of the project are about a third of the way down this page.

We need this project. Take a minute and email the man.

Where the cocaine comes from

Great blog by Matthew Bristow, a journalist working in Colombia. Photos and videos.

We're baaaack!

Sorry for the hiatus, dah-links. We've been terribly busy, out of town, etc., etc.

Little bits:
Mack won the election.
The parish had tornadoes.
Cool weather at last.

Stay tuned for bigger, better posts in a day or 2.
