Top of the Minor News

Today's fine Minor News headlines include:

1) A Pier 1 store is opening in town. Comments are divided between, "Yay! A new store to shop at!" and "More foreign-made crap! Shop local! Buy local!" My opinion? I am disinclined to shop there until they learn about proper syntax and comma usage.

2) Alaska man contracts trichinosis after eating black bear. "Sullivan [the victim] said the meat seemed to be cooked to 'something a little more than medium rare.'" Louisa Castrodale of the state Division of Public Health's Section of Epidemiology is quoted as saying, "In the past decade, bear meat has overtaken walrus as the primary culprit behind Alaska trichinosis cases." Moral of the story: Always cook your bear and walrus until it is well-done!

3) "Winter is Coming to Interior Alaska" I had to quote that headline directly because it's awesome. Thank you, Minor News! For that article, I would like to present your editorial staff with a special, limited-edition "Rain is Wet" trophy!

From your good old wise mdr owl --no news is good news. If all Minor can talk about is the season change, it is a good news :).
