Slow news week

The Shaggy Dog thinks it's been a slow news week and offers up this post as proof. Not to be outdone by an unkempt canine, I offer this as further evidence:

MILFORD, Neb. (AP) -- It took nearly four months, but to the relief of neighbors miles around, a burning manure pile has been extinguished.

David Dickinson, owner and manager of Midwest Feeding Co., said Wednesday that several weeks of pulling the 2,000-ton pile apart proved effective by late last week.

I could sure have a lot of fun with this. You know, Nebraska...giant burning manure pile and all. But as a native Kansan, maybe I should just leave it alone.
