Interesting and informative post.

Perusing your personal disclaimers, regarding the rumored ‘behaviors’ of the ‘press’, and your actual deportment (and obvious dedication to actual reportage) one notes a single ‘omission’ …

Are we to make anything of this ‘landscaping’ exception?

Perhaps some further clarification is in order.

Or perhaps not. Mystery and intrigue always add spice … except in ‘Murkan politics where they merely lead to mean suspician and tawdy behaviors, otherwise known as ‘business as usual’ …

Anyhow, good to see you on the masthead.

;~D

Yes on 8 folks see it as such a basic Human Rights issue, they don’t get so out there about it.

Actually, for the “Yes On 8″ folks, it’s a denial of basic human rights issue for that’s what they are trying to do.
