Oh.... same ol' same ol'.

I got a new boss in '04, and we didn't see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, so I started working for his competition in Richlands. Perfect timing - we went from 9-1 to 1-9 while the Blues have won the Region every year.

Finally got that new "road through town" finished in Dec. Maybe they'll start construction across the river in the Spring - who knows. I'll check at Salem to see if anyone has any pics.

Dominion is building a "clean coal" plant near Castlewood. Tree-huggers couldn't stop it, so now they're fighting the proposed wind-farm beside 460 in Bluefield.

Saw KD when I went up for the Md. match, but spent most of my time talking to Humbert.

Lloyd finally put out his county sports history book. He's got to be over at Hurley for district b'ball Fri. night, so he's won't get to Salem 'til LATE. Guess I'll end up covering everything but the placing matches. Don't know how our A boys will do (couldn't drag myself down to Lebanon Sat.), but AA should be fun.
