I enjoyed Gerry’s article last week. Talking about how the High Teck. has changed how we do the paper. I can remember way back in the dinosaur age, when I’d hand write my article and take it into the office in Kyle. Got some advanced when I started typing it and sliding it under the door of the news office on Monday before I went to work.
Now, I just sit at the computer and type.
Once a Man, Twice a Child...
Historians disagree on the source and date of the expression: once a man and twice a child. My vote goes for Plato’s version penned in 400 BC.

Lots of it.
And all along 783 between 87 and Hilda.
A white riot of bee brush.
