Nice try at public relations, British Petroleum.
That was sarcasm...
I have two words for you, B.P.
Brown Pelicans!
Even better, pictures of Brown Pelicans covered in gooey crap.
You blew B.P.
No matter what you say or do from now on:
Brown Pelicans!
(And I say to you, the American gas guzzlers and the Obama administration (nice timing on the drilling announcement, by the way), and to myself every time I fill up my car: Brown Pelicans!)

I passed a bunch of magnificently bearded fellows in front of Thumptown on the way to work yesterday.
Bunch of glory hounds. All out for the second-glances, and admirations. They're just in it for the dames. Me? I grow my beard for real, substantive reasons...
Like....I'm too lazy to shave.

Oh, Come ON!!!

Spotted Mule.
First off, got to say that Mont West is a great name for the owner of a western store.
Secondly, I wonder if he has the building already leased? It's actually big enough for one of the major chains -- and probably way too big for any local businesses.
Thirdly, more and more I get the sense in talking to other business owners, that it's almost a given that it's more lucrative to liquidate a store than to try and sell it.

"Property Bend spent millions on for city hall now a drain." The Bulletin, 6/5/10.
Kind of funny to me that the newspaper doesn't mention who sold the property until the ninth paragraph.
The former owners? The Bulletin.
Suckers!
I got to say, it seems to me that just about every decision the city council made in during the boom was the wrong one. I mean, flipping a coin would've resulted in better decision making. Or doing the 'Costanza': making your best guess and then doing the opposite.
