I'm actually astounded at the readership that's accumulated with this blog. Whereas I'd expected to round up a few hundred regular local readers to read and comment on local happenings, our Weber County Forum regular readership now numbers in the thousands, and it expands from a heavy concentration around Ogden, to significant numbers around places like Washington, DC, and to many other points on the compass.For the sake of those unfortunate WCF readers who live away from Ogden, the center of the Weber County Universe, I'll provide current links to the "ferret story," something that's launched a real awareness of the "hard-hearted coldness" of Ogden City government in many warm local hearts. It's been mentioned often enough in our gentle readers' WCF comments that I feel compelled to offer information for those unfortunates who, unlike I, don't get a gleaming hard-copy of the Standard-Examiner delivered on their front porch in the wee hours every morning.
This is the original Std-Ex story, which launched the whole phenomenon.
Here is the next day's story.
You can read part of the flurry of outraged "letters to the Std-Ex editor" here and here.
For a top-notch compassionate, humane and on-the-money Std-Ex editorial, don't miss this. I'd thought for a time that the Std-Ex was a lost cause, compassion-wise, but it seems I was wrong about that.
Please don't let the cat get your tongues. Comments are always welcome here, even from you who live in the boon-docks.
