I've been asked by one of my local newspapers to send some data to them so they could write an article about the web site. Frankly, I don't know where to begin or what to say and in fact was quite taken back by the whole thing. So, I'm wondering if any of you have had the experience and if so what kind of data did you send them? Sincerely, Mike Peterson Emmons Traill

Duh -- alluded to it, but realized no one would get it... Bettie has taken over babysitting Adams and Bowman for me. :-) Thank you, Bettie! ~Lee

Hey folks! Bob Wood can no longer take Mountrail. We wish you the best, Bob, and thank you for the time you put into that county. :-) Anyone either want to take on a poor, orphaned county, or know of someone else who would? *grin* ~Lee

I can't even get that program to install. And it took five tries before it would download properly. Seems that FTP program is more trouble than it's worth.
