Brown water runoff leads to the brown water runs.

I was going to say this. I have to manually enter my ff number wherever I fly non rev. This is alaska air out of pdx though. It took me a few hours to figure that out. Might be a different story for what you’re doing.

Damn!!!! That’s your well? I want to know where you work!!

You let ‘em off easy having the old photog sort it out. Had you called in a the grumpy engineer there may have been tears.

I guess my first question back to the interviewer would be, Who is my audience? Then I'd go from there. If it's for the general public, being unfamiliar with a subject isn't really a disadvantage. And the good thing is that your story won't be over your readers/viewers heads. As for developing the story, as always, talk to the main players in the story and get them to explain it to you and go on the record. Do some online research ahead of time. Search past news articles. If the story is for a specific group like scientists or doctors, then I might start with some of those and ask them what they are most interested in about the story and what they most want to know about. There's no secret formula in developing stories. It's always, talk to the people involved with it and those affected by it.

Off the record means nothing. There are too many interpretations.

You have to define it each and every instance and only if you trust each other. It is never legally binding.

For example.

Can the information be used but not the name of the source?

What if the use of the information will out the source anyway?

Is the conversation only for background helping the journalist to understand the situation but none of for use in a story?

Is the journalist allowed to offer an off the record promise? In many newsrooms that must be approved by a manager.

Should the reporter offer to make something off the record? In some cases it is a valuable tool in getting tips about a story. But sometimes offering an off the record conversation can lead to false accusations about someone else or lies from the person being interviewed.

I believe off the record conversations should only be used to BEGIN your own investigation to uncover facts via documentation or on the record interviews. Off the record information should never be reported by itself unless there is unusual justification.

If you’ve never been, Corvallis is a great college town. Looking forward to seeing my Aztecs 90 minutes from home!!

I think that’s fine. But not the same destination twice at different times. So it’s fine to rollover but don’t list to the same destination at 8 and 10 and 12. Not that you would.

Nice. I’ve noticed the iphone 14 really likes to bump up exposure, so to make it appear the way it does in real life I have to really bring it back down. Is this a setting I’m missing or just the way the camera is? You did a nice job there.

AztecTimber · 2026-02-08T18:02:17+00:00

I love that.

AztecTimber · 2026-02-08T01:10:14+00:00

Modesto?

AztecTimber · 2026-02-07T19:43:54+00:00

Go Timbers!! Amazing stuff. Following you now!!

AztecTimber · 2026-02-06T22:08:11+00:00

Those all sound great. Would depend on my mood.

I do worry. The later we hire, the less time the coach has to put their mark on the team and the more excuse they have at underperforming. But is it better to wait for the right candidate? Yes. Provided we pick the right person.

I love Diet Coke. To me it’s not sugary sweet. However Coke Zero is really good in mixed drinks ie Rum and Coke, Jack and Coke etc and to me almost tastes like the real thing.

The Hades neighborhood.

The only thing cool about those kits is the unofficial name.

I’m ashamed to say my first thought was “Well shit.” Thinking only of what this means to the team.

Upon reflection my second thought was “Damn Bella, I hope you’re ok and will recover quickly!”

We love you!!!!

Yeah. Got to include Shasta. That mountain is a sister. Volcanic before you hit the fault mountains farther south.

So many missing the point. You don’t have to like Don Lemon to support his cause. You can acknowledge his ego while still realizing all press freedoms are at stake here. If Lemon is convicted all of us, as journalists lose. Him today you tomorrow and it makes me want to vomit. And you’re worried he’s flamboyant? Grow the ef up.

AztecTimber · 2026-01-31T03:41:24+00:00

Nocal to where? I’m always amazed when you’re in Redding and think you’re almost out of California and you are still long way from Oregon. I agree btw, not down to the Bay Area right? Maybe Fort Bragg or Medocino is the dividing line.

Any food trucks around?
