The Merry Month of July issue is back in town after after taking a detour to attend a little party up in Yankeeland. There's nary a mention of tea in the paper, but there are a couple of sweet items. Enjoy!

The June issue just scampered out of the office. With any luck it'll find its way back real soon....like tomorrow afternoon. As usual it's full of scoops and surprises, including something about a proposed pancake patrol. Who knew?

And, just so you'll know, FBs AI suggested the following: BREAKING: Our June issue has gone rogue!
Expected to resurface tomorrow afternoon...
What secrets will it spill? Pancake patrol, anyone?
Get ready for scoops and surprises like never before!

The Merry Month of May issue is out and about. It should be noted that the first letter in The Mailbox section is/was mistakenly attributed to my friend Siobhan Deeds. She did not write it. We truly regret the error and any confusion it may have caused.

We didn't want to get the April issue out on the 1st because....well, there's too much foolery as it is. But it's out now, and as always, there's lots of stuff in it you won't find anywhere else, including a fine piece of local history.

The Merry Month of March issue got a little carried away celebrating the paper’s 33rd birthday. But with any luck, it'll finish the cake and emerge fully baked for you in the next day or two. Once again there's not a single mention of an Elvis sighting, but there are all sorts of items you won't find anywhere else.

The February issue stuck its head out the window, saw its shadow, and figured spring is just around some corner...somewhere. But while it's waiting for spring, it's getting all ready to settle down with you tomorrow. There's not a single mention of a groundhog in it. But there is a pile of news and information you won't find anywhere else.

The first issue of the new year is all bundled up and getting ready to settle down with you. As usual, there's a whole lot of information in it that you won't find anywhere else. And all of us here wish you the best for 2025.

The December issue just got back from the North Pole. We have no idea what it was doing up there, but with any luck you'll find something in it that's a treat. It ought to be ready to settle down with you tomorrow. (And with any luck, artificial intelligence will be smart enough to leave this post alone.)

If you have any questions, comments, etc. etc. etc. about the paper, local news from the Rockbridge, Lexington and Buena Vista area, or the state of the universe, help yourself.
