Good post Alex. I visited the potty-mouthed squirrel. Funny is right.
Alex, I didn't see a place to E-mail you and so I'll post my answer to your question about al.com here.
The editor-in-chief is Ken Booth and his E-mail address is: kbooth@al.com.
He had noticed my blog and wrote me about doing one for them and then we talked and that's how River City Views evolved.
Good luck. I'm enjoying your return.
