I have to request a favor from my coal region readers. If I share silly Kiwi news with you, will you share silly Skook news with me? I have been unable to access the Pottsville Republican (my hometown newspaper) website since my arrival in New Zealand. I suspect the problem has something to do with terribly outdated technology in Schuylkill County.
There goes one of my most cherished morning rituals! Which of my former classmates was arrested this weekend? What relative-of-an-acquaintance is in the obituaries and what was his/her crazy nickname back in the day? Who fell into a stripping pit? What is the latest hate crime? If you find the answers, please copy and paste the article into an email. I'd hate to lose my roots.
