Ghosts, The Star, and Evil Cherries

Ed Okonowicz is going to be at the Laurel Library on Wednesday October 24 at 7:00pm. He is a great ghost storyteller. I got the pleasure to see him on a couple of occasions at the Laurel Middle School a few years ago. While some of his stories are pretty unbelievable, his passion for what he does pours out making his stories fascinating. If you can, stop by and hear this author!

I grabbed that announcement from the front of the Laurel Star, our local weekly paper. The Star has a web presence, but it is pretty lame. If you want to get any news from them, you need to pick up the paper. I don’t get much from the paper, and sometimes grabbing news from the web is much easier, thus my bellyaching about their web site. Most of what I read in the Star are the opinion columns and letters, occasionally going through the police reports and anything else that catches my eye. They appear to have great sports coverage. I’m not into sports so I seldom stop on those pages. I’ve come to realize that while I am OK with Frank Calio voicing his opinions, I’m better off not reading his column unless I feel like taking in some socialist communist Democrat propaganda or the “cut and run” doctrine regarding Iraq. If I want to read that crap, I could watch Al Jazeera, seeing as our enemies read the Democrat talking points, or the latest stories from the Cuban News Agency. I could go “old school” and dive into some historical papers from the old Soviet Union. Nah. I thought that locals were generally more conservative, but there seems to be an unusually high concentration of liberals at the local papers, which is not much different than our national papers. Sad.

I was very happy to see a picture of the Laurel 2007 Homecoming Queen Kelly Thibeau on the cover of the October 11 issue of the Laurel Star. She’s a nice young lady and clearly surprised and happy about the honor bestowed upon her.

More than likely, something I’ve said in here will come back to haunt me (remember I started off with Ed Okonowicz). Time will tell. I’ll run for office or something, someone will cherry-pick something from this blog, then use the devilish juice squeezed from those cherries to hurt me in some way, tempting the public to drink from their cup of evil.

Uh, maybe I shouldn’t write like that again.
