Josh indeed does commendable work, and his omission was not intentional. Like a lot of the journalists there, he is a one-man band. I'm betting his job is especially challenging. Print reporters can take a few shortcuts in the digital age, but there are no shortcuts when capturing images. It's ...

Yo Mr. Orino: Rambling? No argument there; I like to ramble. I count my blessings that I get to do it here...hopefully in a smart way. Disorganized? Isn't that just an ugly word for "rambling?" The headline? I don't write them. Authenticity? Again, I don't write the headlines, although I ...

lponder, GaryP - you won't get much of an argument from me. There is plenty more to be told. Perhaps the only humble accomplishment here has been to whet appetites. This particular post aside (it was meant, clearly, mostly as an update, to mark the consequence of past events; so ...

The boring necessary for the tunnel is deep enough (more than 50 feet below as I understand it) that it go below and miss any artifacts buried in that area... Andy, I think you raise an interesting question about gentrification and the desirability of suburban life. I'm not so sure ...

Thanks for the tip on Sawadee. I suspect there are more than a few places that possess some Lao DNA.

Wow, clearly I underestimated the degree and intensity of love for Dick's around here. Which makes me think the phenomenon itself deserves its own article. Seriously, you guys are nuts, you know that don't you? You're like the Taliban and I mean that in a good way. Which is why ...
