Deer hunting and Hanover Street (not related)Monday, November 17, 2008
Joke of the day One day Dave and Fred were Deer Hunting, and they got lost. Dave tells Fred, "Wait. Don't panic. I learned what to do in case this happens. You're supposed to shoot up into the air three times and someone will hear you and come with help." "OK," said Fred. So he shoots three times into the air. They both wait an hour and no one shows up. So they shoot three times again and still no one shows up. Bewildered they try this again and again for the next couple of hours. Fred starts to look a little worried, then he shouts, "It better work this time, we're down to our last three arrows!" This was one of many hunting jokes found at http://rolltidebama.com/jokes.htm
On the Horizon Two of our reporters are working on a story about the Hanover Street violence that has occurred lately. Some in the neighborhood are upset about how the atmosphere has gone downhill in the last year or so. If you have information you'd like to share, please contact Peg McNichol or Bridget DiCosmo at pmcnichol@semisourian.com or bdicosmo@semissourian.com. We'll also be looking at how the landscape has changed on nearby Good Hope Street.
Out and about
Callie and I went deer hunting this weekend. Actually, I just took a camera; she took the gun. She didn't have a lot of success. The weather was too windy and rainy the first day. The deer didn't seem to be moving, though we saw one doe up close, within 20 yards. They were a bit more active Sunday morning, according to Callie, but a large crop of acorns seems to be keeping the deer happy in the woods. Callie's blind is set up on the edge of a field. Speaking of deer hunting couples, check out this photo. Who out there got big bucks? Feel free to share your hunting photos and stories on our website. In case you missed it, here's our story on the first day of deer season. Happy hunting, everyone.

I wish you hadn't named your reporters for their own safety.
Professor Bubba,
Thanks for pointing out the grammatical error. That one particular joke had about 15 errors in it. I apologize for missing one. Our filters are much more relaxed for online than they are for print. Our copy editors arrive late in the afternoon and work the evening shift. We have made a decision to add content to our site throughout the day. Our consumers demand it. This means that not all content is edited as closely as perhaps we would like it to be. This is true for our blogs. Again, thanks for pointing out the mistake. I will make the change in the copy.
Bob tell Peg to research a link between the violence lately and a rumored gang from the St. Louis area moving into this area and trying to mark its territory. I have a feeling a lot of this violence and robbery at gunpoint the past 3 or 4 months is tied to initiation of new people into this certain group.
The hunter probably said, "You're supposed.." as opposed to "Your supposed..." Seriously, a proofreader is a good idea. I hear some schools are still teaching spelling.
