One dull day

Man, it has been one dull day in Huntington. But when news types are bored, the rest of us can rest easy, right?

I just want to go home and get away from Britney Spears and all those letters to the editor about Anna Nicole Smith and the cervical cancer vaccine and dogs on chains and global warming.

Right now I'll settle for some Cabell warming. I was getting tired of that freezing weather we've had lately. But some of the roads I drive on feel like they're about to fall apart. I was on 8th Street Road (McCoy Road) the other day, and I thought I had a flat tire. It was only the waviness in the road, I think. I hope.

A coworker who drives up the Ohio side says there is a part of Route 7 in Lawrence County that's getting pretty bad with potholes.

Okay, none of this is as weighty as the stuff I normally write about, but I'm about ready to go home.

By the way, I watched the Huntington High game on ESPN2 last night. That wasn't a high school game. That was a college game. I checked some standings today, and Huntington appears to be the top-ranked public high school in the nation. If it stays that way through the end of the season, they deserve a sign on Highlander Way marking that achievement.

Meanwhile, two of my coworkers are working on a story about talented and gifted programs. I have no idea what it's going to say, but it should run in the next few days.

See you all Monday.
