Don't mess with an angry angel


So Amherst's annual Halloween Fest attracted hundreds of family folks to the downtown this afternoon for some trick or treating around the downtown businesses (well, except maybe for the bars) and the big parade from Sweetser Park to the Bangs Community Center for more games and activities. My little angel had a ball.


Even though it was a Sunday afternoon, the Gazette managed to assign veteran ace photographer Gordon Daniels to cover the festivities (and when you have a photographer like him, who needs a reporter for a 1,000 words or so?) so watch for his artwork in an upcoming ink and paper edition.

As an old school legacy entity the Daily Hampshire Gazette is really good covering weekend events as long as you give them a few months notice. Breaking stories is another story altogether.

As in, if 9/11 happened on a Friday/Saturday/Sunday, we would read it in print on Tuesday.

It's faint praise but the DHG is still miles better than the Springfield Republican.

Ah, yes, once again you have combined your two favorite topics; yourself, and bashing newspapers.

Actually three favorite things: you forgot "showing off my cute daughter."

Let's see: balding, "pony-tailed", glasses (rimless), beard (trimmed) , Honda, very unnatractive over weight belittling wife so he's gotta come here and trash Larry...


Another rodent from Amherst's gutter culture?

You betcha'!

Thanks Mary,
But she can at times be quite the little Devil.
