The remaining ones are writing blogs. My favorite journalist in this area, Dan Huntley, was let go last week and is now cooking barbecue for his living. He has a cooker that he hauls behind a truck and cooks whole pigs on commission. Might be a more reliable job these days than writing for the newspaper. He has been replaced by several "community correspondents" who work for free and report who has won the local yard of the week, which pets need to be adopted, and who attended the Junior Women's League auction, accompanied by flash photos taken by the "correspondents" with their point and shoot digital cameras. I'm using the Charlotte Observer to mulch my garden this year. That's all it's worth. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
