I was a journalist, firefighter, humor columnist, writer, and editor at Siuslaw News for 23 years. The next chapter in my journey is writing Pacific Northwest-based crime/suspense fiction novels in my "Shane McPhearson, P.I." series.

LOL….oh, NOW I get it….thanks Ned!! π
Yep, just doin’ my job π
Man, I hope they pay your for what you’re worth. π
Hahaha! Rest assured, that is the case! π
LOL. π
Well I never!
Thanks to this, I now know what to call those creepy little winged things when I show their bite marks to the doc. What a savior!
That’s why I love what I do. And by that I mean educating the public, not biting people…
No one has a better grasp of the obvious than you, Ned. Well done.
And all this time I was worried I was losing my grasp. Thanks for the affirmation!
i love everything about this
Thanks π I’ve heard of newspapers being asked to “dumb-down” the writing to appeal to a broader readership, but YIKES! I hope that’s not an indicator of what’s to come. If so, it won’t be long until we’re writing in rhyme: “Uranium was found in North Korea, officials said they had no idea. They’re sending an ambassador right away, before a big boom ruins everyone’s day.”
in today’s ny post:
βPistorius was born without fibula bones and had them amputated when he was 11 months old.β

Hahahaha! That’s why I love picking on them, and the now defunct Weekly World News. Thanks for sharing that π
Deserves a pullet sir!
I defiantly eggree.
I don’t get it???
I thought bugs flying around with wings are…pigs! π
Ahhh β That would explain the giant swatters I saw!
That broke my brain.
Welcome to my life… π
