Those are the words used by editor Jim Prince of the Neshoba Democrat to describe the community's reaction in Philadelphia MS to the swift trial and sentencing of Edgar Ray Killen. Being interviewed on NPR today, Prince expressed a desire for the Neshoba area as a whole to "get back to normal" now that the work of the judge and jury is done. He also praised the number of young people who have been involved in bringing long overdue closure and justice to this horrific tragedy. Amen to that.

The hoopla over South Knox Bubba's being "outed" last weekend has been followed with more ridiculous jr-high level finger pointing by the other local newspaper. This post shows you what the guy's really made of. If you'd like to take a virtual float on the Hiwassee River visit Fletch at No Direction Home (links upper right on SKB site)

Tamara at Cybervassals has sent some samples of my free gift in progress, and I'm delighted. Can't wait to share it with all of y'all. It's as exciting as gettin' a new house or something!

My four day week turned into a three day one when I scored another extra day off tomorrow so I'm doing the happy dance about now. WOOhoooooooo. Remind me how much I enjoyed it when the bills come due ;)
