You know there’s at least one trooper in that bunch wishing for a reason to open up fully automatic with their machine gun on something. For justifiable reasons, and nobody gets hurt of course. I don’t think you could walk around carrying powerful guns and not get to thinking it every time you see a soda can lying on the ground 30 feet away.

Wow, what a view, maybe I can find a new place to surf the next time I call in “sick”.

These are the best photos the NCJ has had so far this year. Maybe if they understood that excellent photos are more important to generating readership than any other content then they would dominate the local market so quickly that they would have no choice but to become a daily paper. But no, they, like the T-S regard photographers as slackers and ego-driven jerks instead of the hardworking front-line foot soldiers they really are. Good job, McKenna, the T-S was unbelievably stupid to let you go and is probably the primary reason they suck so bad right now. Hey, NCJ: hire this dude and your rag will grow like gangbusters!
