Just to...Thanks proxima...your right about pencils. Just to let you know - most of the S-R site is no charge. Its the local information offered as premium. Newspapers gotta make $$$ somehow to survive :) I know your in Seattle (love your blog style and writing) but just to let you know customers who take the print product - even the Sunday only...which is dirt cheap (less than 3 lattes per month) - get total access to the site. This is becoming a pretty common model for newspapers of our size. Stop by One Reader again - there are a few who check in for an ongoing discussion of newspapers - both current and in the future.<BR/><BR/>Good tip, Hattie - finding the proper flow to this blogging is ongoing. I've tried all sorts of stuff and never had a problem with Blogger aka Google. Looks like I'm back to making a notepad backup for any post I spend significant time on.<BR/><BR/>LG - I loved working outside as a window washer! The ladder steps seemed to get a little further apart as I aged. A friend used to have a sign on his desk, "No bosses is better than more money" - he preferred working for himself, too. And was enormously successful. I've found having work that allows time to pursue "real" interest more my style.Bob Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487941305976922088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29625144.post-38671920521983535302007-06-11T06:36:00.000-07:002007-06-11T06:36:00.000-07:00I had my first job, two jobs actually, at age 10: ...I had my first job, two jobs actually, at age 10: babysitting and working with the town maintenance crews cleaning up and stuff.

Pencils don't do very well in the rain. :><BR/><BR/>Just wanted to stop by and say "Thank you for stopping by."<BR/><BR/>I was suprised to see you linked to a Spokkesman-Review article. I was so angry when they became a "pay-per-view" style website. It was losing a link from home that I wasn't willing to pay for.<BR/><BR/>Other papers find ways to survive without doing it that way.
