RISE AND SHINE

GOOD MORNING, DELAWARE COUNTY and all you ships at sea.

It's another dark morning out there, but, hey, it's winter, so that's to be expected.
Here's something to jump-start the morning for all you pet lovers out there: CLICK HERE for a good laugh.

This whole Internet thing is so new, there are bound to be some prattfalls.
As you can see by going through our Web site, there aren't some of the things that have been there in the past. Things like an archive search, online polls, easy navigation. Hey, sometimes our stories don't even post, but those kinks are being worked out.
One thing that happened yesterday morning can highlight how this world is changing.
We got word in the morning the GOP was going to announce who they were going to put up against Democrat Joe Sestak in the next election. While there had been several names floated about the last few weeks, nothing was written in stone.
Finally, about 11 a.m., we got a name from a source. So I, as a dutiful new Web editor, ran back to my computer and threw a quick story up on the Internet.
I then mentioned it to our political writer Alex Rose, check out his blog HERE, only to have him leap from his chair and say, "NO NO TAKE IT DOWN. I HATE THE INTERNET."
Although we had the name of Wendell Craig Williams, it wasn't for locked in stone.
So, while it appeared in the newspaper this morning, the instant news of the Internet had to wait.
Now, on to brighter things. If you have any cool links or photos, send them along.
Thanks and check back later this morning.
