On a rough day of ups and downs I won’t bore you with, the biggest up was the boost to our Web page views from CNN.com’s link to our story about the Bend 14-year-old surfer whose severed arm was reattached.
And we, in turn, owe KGW in Portland for helping rush video to us of the family’s news conference.
You’d better bet I’ll be keeping the Web desk at CNN aware of interesting, even wacky news from the High Desert. It’s nice to roll out the welcome mat!;-)
Leave it to Barney 
Barney – I’ve been selling real estate in Bend since 1981 and just started reading your blog! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Jimmy! If more people read/comment I’ll feel pushed to update it more often, which is a good thing. (We got here in ’91, so you’re the true pioneer;-)
