I think Ghost is a great band but I have to stop listening every time I realize the lead singer sounds like if Weird AL started a glam rock band.

You can't take this seriously when it's in Dutch.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter" is how I sign an email urging a company to refund my money.

NO MORE STORIES. I have a huge backlog of stories I'm trying to catch up on. I just need everyone to stay home, sit on their couch, and hold still for like 72 hours, thanks.

As the U.S. weighs involvement in the Israel-Iran war, about 230 soldiers deployed from Forest Grove are nearing the end of their Iraq and Syria deployment. www.newsinthegrove.com/forest-grove...

I have no idea what my front page will look like when I send my print newspaper to the printer tomorrow.

Some dogs I saw

Finally saw an emu up close and I gotta be honest: I didn't really enjoy the experience.

Really sad story out of Forest Grove today where nine cats were killed when a home caught fire while no one was home. But, I did get to witness one kitty, who was extremely upset, get rescued by two AMR medics and a neighbor. www.newsinthegrove.com/home-damaged...

I've had this nagging feeling all day that I have something I am supposed to go to tonight, but there's nothing in my calendar. To whomever I am about to stand up: I truly apologize.

This story on wildfire evacuation levels has: - a custom built card flip thingy to help people remember their evacuation levels - A fun signup button customized to the story www.newsinthegrove.com/brush-up-on-...

Pleased to announce an animal did not defecate on me in Forest Grove today. I could not say this honestly for the two days prior. Monday: Turtle Tuesday: Bird

Candidates need to cool it with the announcements they're running for office in November, they're still counting ballots from the May election. I'm not writing an "I'm running for office" story until like, July at the earliest.

Gotta innovate in the news business. That's why I'm adding HTML based minigames to News in the Grove. Take that, NYT puzzles.

Welp, I'm officially old, a Forest Grove School Board candidate that won her race last night is younger than I am.

What do you MEAN the next batch of election results isn't expected until May 23rd, Washington County?!

👏👏👏

It's time for journalists to say "ousted an incumbent."

I will never not judge people for not voting for local elections.

Someone give me $10 and I will run the headline "Roy Rogers is so back"

A bond to fund the construction of a new police station in Forest Grove is narrowly losing in early results, but I'd wait for more before making any confident statements on this one. www.newsinthegrove.com/forest-grove...

WHERE ARE MY ELECTION RESULTS ITS 8:04 P.M.

Ye old Election Night Pizza Tradition (where I unashamedly ask my subscribers and followers for money on Election Night for pizza and whiskey) is live. That's right: you can support local journalism by feeding a local journalist. buy.stripe.com/14A3cv9EX95B...
