Where is Waldo (ah, today?)

This has been a busy, busy deployment. On a "normal" day, I check on my media contacts in Mansfield, then drive the 15 miles north to Shelby (their newspaper doesn't have an effective web site that carries their articles, thereby hard to monitor from afar), thence 15 miles to Bucyrus (where I can check almost all of my areas newspapers at one gas station), thence 20 miles to Marion, thence 20 miles to Upper Sandusky, thence 5 miles to Carey, ten 15 miles to Tiffin, and all the way back.
This is not an every day routine, but most, depending on regular weekly radio interviews in Mansfield, Bucyrus, Marion, Upper Sandusky, and Tiffin.

It all gets crazy when the Columbus or Cleveland TV stations come into the area...like the morning this Columbus crew showed up and I had to roll back to the county courthouse in Bucyrus for the interview.

BTW, Bucyrus got its unusual name this way: the founding guy wanted to name the town like no where else, so he combined the word "beautiful" with Cyrus The Great, thus Bucyrus. Now ya know.

Have a nice day.
