You were fine, Michelle, except maybe when you got just a little too tickled in the dog story. But who is that goober visible over your left shoulder (right side of the screen)? He kept looking at the camera, like one of those sidewalk gawkers on the Today show. If you guys are going to have what is supposed to look like a working newsroom as a backdrop, make sure the "workers" are doing something besides looking at the camera and picking their nose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31848825.post-42325689034392777712007-09-27T20:15:00.000-05:002007-09-27T20:15:00.000-05:00Well said!

We covered it quite a bit at first to get the word out there and get viewer feedback. We still have three to four other reporters covering all the murder, fire, rape and mayhem. When you get over 100 emails from folks who are fed up with speeding I think you've touched on a topic that a lot of people care about. Plus its fun to use a radar gun :) <BR/>Side note: Blame your insomnia on your shift. It’s comes with the night side weekend territory. I read books it helps or I finish the whole thing.emy-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715030519245332079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31848825.post-76234172593312273032007-09-27T01:21:00.000-05:002007-09-27T01:21:00.000-05:00Well said.Well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31848825.post-1427051968354898162007-09-26T23:44:00.000-05:002007-09-26T23:44:00.000-05:00Wow, somebody was wanting you to cover more murder...Wow, somebody was wanting you to cover more murders and fires?
