The Farmer Saw a Gopher in Manhattan!
Dr. Sexson took the class to the good ol' Bozeman Daily Chronicle to learn how to read not what's new but instead what's old. He read the entire Paper and not only tried, but had brilliant success in relating all news worth happenings back to myhological times and stories. While jokeing about the small time papers topics, off the top of his head he made up a heading for a possible article for a small town paper. "Local Farmer Spots a Gopher in Manhattan!" The class laughed at this small town humor, however I must admit that Megan Thale and I have a little more experience than most in small town news, this is of course becasue we are from Manhattan :) I don't know about the excitment over gophers, but we do have potato days, which is equivilent to Bozeman's Sweat Pea Fest, most people find our Potato days rather comical. I am going to try to grab an issue of Manhattan's paper to give to Dr. Sexson, and hopfully we will be able to bring Manhattan into the Mythological world! And as side note, the gopher thing reminds that this next friday is February second, ground hogs day, my birthday, and Dr. Sexson's wedding anniversery...CONGRATS!

I know what you mean about a smalltown newspaper. Our fronpage articles usually consist of "Senior Citizens are having a turkey dinner on Friday." Yeah you laugh. I wasn't joking.
