The Soroco high school in Oak Creek (Soroco is an acronym for SOuth ROutt COunty) will be pissed to learn that they aren't in the south part of the county.
Thanks for clearing that up for us there Rand McNally.
Reminds me of "Up in Smoke" where they call imigration, because there is a wedding in Mexico, and they want a free trip. Man i miss the Cheech & Chong days.
Go to mexico, and get caught making meth. I'm sure they will just send you on back.
I post there, it's the same me, and will continue to do so. In the modern era of internet, 98% of the pilot is yesterdays news. The only reason i came here was the entertainment of the blog section.
Luckily I was born here, and do love the valley, a couple of red trees isn't going to change that. The people who "just fell in love with the valley" and are deterred by a couple of red trees, aren't the ones who build playgrounds, and have hot dog cookouts for a friend of a kid that is sick. That's what's lovable about the community, not how much your second home in the mountains is worth. Let the fickle leave, or not come, life will go on, and the untracked snow will remain. They didn't sell me my land, and aren't going to buy it, so the imposed "value" isn't going to change me either.
Plus the betles are devistating the lodgepole pines. It's a bummber, and going to kick our butts, but there are other pine trees that make up a lot of our forrests around here, that seem to be unaffected by the beatles.
It is a small town, and my comments don't need to affect my relatives. Even worse have a friend of a friend of my boss not like something and get me fired.
Voice your opinion about a sheriff's DWAI, or how a school board situation is screwy, and have it affect a son, daughter, or brothers business in this VERY small town. You are then feeding the power wheel, and handcuffing the voice of an individual. This especially comes to the front if whoever is in charge of the names, happens to be friends of the individual falling under scrutiny. Small town politics can backfire quicker than anything, and the risk isn't worth it. Moderating the content of individual posts would be better than controlling who posts what due to the fear of repercussion. There are two issues here the attacking and being inappropriate, should definitely be stopped, but the ability for a community to voice in about a "politically sensitive" issue is unrivaled in the modern society of article commenting/blogging. This "voice" is being stopped by the thought that at some point in time you will be confronted about your opinion if you are speaking up about a social issue. Seems like a giant step backwards to me.
I haven't been rude, obscene, or written anything my mother wouldn't approve of, but to say that some comment I may leave today, won't affect something I am doing 10 years from now is naive. It's like people getting fired for putting a pic of them in their underwear on Myspace, and having a boss find it.
It all sounds a little "Big Brother" to me. I am surprised that they don't want my social security number, and mother's maiden name to check to see if I am giving my real name or a nickname.
I'm not even confident that the names in the captions for the paper photos are correct, so not real confident in how my information will be used by the paparazzi.
I will rest better knowing that if someone slips, gets hot and rants, offends the wrong person they will be stalked down by the pilot, or maybe even the police for slander. Is this about "cleaning up the comments", or not offending anyone? What's next taking down Christmas trees:::..crap that's already happening!
Good night and God bless::oh sorry Good night, and may the non denominational spirit who you value highly, shine upon you.
Rob Douglas: A not so hot pursuit
Baton Rouge isn't in the south, because there are much further south places?!?!?!
The logic here is blowing my mind right now.
I started out to be a smart a-s-s, but now am just amazed.

Pumps could become park
I think a t-shirt shop should be there, I just can't find a shirt that says "Steamboat" on it anywhere!
