Statistics Anyone?

This I found quite random. I was in Silverton, OR today doing a story on their mayor, Stu Rasmussen. Stu is the first transgendered mayor in the country and is entertaining the idea of a reality tv show on his town. Film crews were in town today, so we talked with the mayor and people living there about a possible reality show. I interviewed a guy at a local bar and at the end of the interview I had him spell his name. He says, "Louis, L-O-U-I-S, Jaeger, J-A-E-G-E-R." Same spelling and pronunciation but absolutely no relation... what are the odds of that?

Favorite Things

Magnolia blossoms are on my list of favorite things.

Gone Fishin'

How better to spend a beautiful day than to go fishing? Well that wasn't my original thought for the day, but it unexpectedly turned into a fishing trip. My photographer Sean and I arrived at the Washington County Jail to do a story on a man, who talked to us about his girlfriend that had been missing since the 10th of March, and confessed to murdering her. As I'm get out of the car I forget my keys are in my lap and as luck would have it, there's a storm drain on the passenger side of the car. Murphy had his way today.

Thankfully the Sheriff's Office had an extendable magnet.

Fishin' Accomplished!!

Spring is Here

After two absolutely gorgeous days of sunshine in the Rose City, flowers and trees were in full bloom.

Crossroads

How convenient that I was at this intersection.
