A newspaper offers a blog for subscribers

http://www.nctimes.com/blog/

Imagine what it would have been like if all of the hardcore paper readers from back in the day were able to not only converse about hot topics at the local pub but online! They would have been addicted. I’m not into blogging, I think? However I did log on to check out a certain blog for my local newspaper, The Californian. I know news is readily available online but I feel American when I peruse through a physical newspaper.

If anyone lives in North County or Southwest Riverside County then you would know of a rock quarry being proposed near the Border Patrol checkpoint on the side of the I-15. Now I know that businesses have a right to mine minerals but this is a really heated topic. A lot of problems and benefits are at stake. I personally don’t want the quarry to be approved mainly because I don’t want the 1-15 to be even more congested, it’s hard to dodge cars at 100 MPH plus.

None the less the latest article of many concerning the rock quarry discussed a blog on the subject. I went online to check it out and I found many blogs about many things that the paper covers. Pretty cool I thought…if my grand pappy were still here I’d show the site and get him addicted.
