Cooling Off

After living in Michigan, my body no longer tolerates the desert heat. I envy this little girl every time I get into my truck, which does not have the luxury of conditioner.

Dear Readers

I have neglected you... I am sorry! Here is a sad puppy for you.





You should probably know that I've moved back to New Mexico by way of Michigan. I got a real job! I'm now a staff photographer at the Farmington Daily Times. My days of bouncing around the country as an intern are over! I'm finishing up my third week here and I haven't had a bad day yet. Thanks all for your support for the last 2 years!

School Bus Heros

From the left Marques Rangel, Grant Walker, Britney Matthews, Alex Dewitt, and Katlyn Scovill, students at Bay City Central High School took over their bus on Monday when the bus driver passed out. They took control of the bus, parked it and called 911.

As a lefty, she has a unique advantage on most of her opponents, who are accustomed to facing right-handed players.

Released

Donna Yost is a name heard quite a bit in this part of Michigan. Today she moved into an apartment in Bay City. She hoists a dreamcatcher above her head where she plans on putting her bed.

Yost had been accused of killing her 7-year-old daughter in 1999. She was released last month after she agreed to plead no contest to child abuse. The no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt. "I never did hurt my daughter, but I feel because of my being highly depressed, I had to accept this to put this behind me and be with my family," Yost said. Yost was convicted of first-degree murder for the death of her 7-year-old daughter Monique Yost, who died from a fatal dose of prescription medication. The conviction was overturned last year, and a new trial was to start next week in Midland.

This photo shows emotion that you rarely see in Donna.
