Jordan Bartel Watch – Carroll County Times

June 19^th, 2007

The Carroll County Times does not use permalinks… Ya run across a dead link – e-mail Mr. Bartel. Grouch at him and leave me out of it… It isn’t my zeitgeist. I am not responsible for the fact that the Carroll County Times does not use permalinks… Take it up with them. Leave me alone. I’m tired, and I need a snack.

Oh, the photograph does not belong to me. I ripped it off from the Carroll County Times under the delusion that according to fair use I may use it for the purposes of illustrating for “Soundtrack” readers that a decent photograph of a Carroll County Times journalist can be accomplished as opposed to the horrific mug shot that Jamie Kelly keeps using. After ya go here - - go here and scroll down…

We were concerned for the safety of our bunnies in the back yard earlier in the spring. We were fearful that cats, and birds of prey or the occasional hyena would mistake them for a snack. We posted pictures of Jamie Kelly about the yard and have had no problem with mountain lions or any other predators…

Where was I? Oh, Jordan Bartel watch – enjoy:
