I get most of my news from the net. I'm guessing many of you do too. I see articles that interest me and wonder if I should post them. Mr. Roboblogger posts some of the news automatically, but apparently randomly. This is not a blog. This is for everyone. If I only link to what interests me, it might be pretty dull to many readers. If people would like to see more about community events such as book signings or art openings, speak up. I love the beach, but I'm unlikely to link to a surfing article. So, whatever interests you, be it sports, fishing, business... let me know. Or even become an editor yourself. It's easy and it would bring a little more variety to this page. I don't mind sharing. Peace, ClamBob
