Cleared the blogs by 11:06 a.m. Didn't bother to count. What happens in February will be the topic of a meeting today. Those left after two staff departures will decide how the daily work gets divvied up. I was going to propose that the Blog Watch be the first thing to jettison, but then this morning two people took enough time to log in and vote. So if someone else is actually interested, maybe I could keep this going.
The problem is that I'm not going to be able to clear the blogs as often, which means that the stuff here is going to be that much farther removed from real time. The Blog Watch can maintain some value in that environment, but the concept of sampling the regional blogosphere really suffers.

I encourage people to visit the blog maintained by Iraqis in Baghdad who work for McClatchy Newspapers. Inside Iraq offers an unedited and very personal view of what life is like there.
In other catastrophes, there's always life in Portland when it snows:

After the afternoon walk, during which a Postal Service van tried to make a left turn over my body in the crosswalk at N and Alhambra, I find 43 blog posts waiting in line. Cleared by 4:31 p.m.
