Well folks I have decided to curtail posting the local news as lately the links are not staying active. So when I write I will include what I consider news you might like to hear. There will be a meeting today between Northrop Grumman and union leaders. Just maybe agreements will be reached and we can go on with our lives. Of course, you don't have to wait for me to tell you when the strike is over ... WLOX, Sun Herald, Mississippi Press, Gulf Coast News, to name a few, will announce the outcome immediately.

I will be back soon to tell you more about my living in Katrina's aftermath.
