SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK

The first hundred people to visit my website could win a Ginsu knife set!  Yeah, I'm totally making that up.

         

   ( By the way, if you decide to visit it’s www.MarkRHunter.com, and you have to type in that R. (Reliable is my middle name. No, honest. Or is it Recluse?) That’s because there are 7,839,274 Mark Hunters on the internet, and over twelve thousand of them are writers. In fact, if you type that web address in without the middle initial you’ll get the website of a Mark Hunter who starts by explaining he’s the other Mark Hunter – and not one of those others is me. (I just discovered that there's even another Mark R Hunter on Facebook -- my R has the period after it, and his doesn't.) )

Albion Fire Dept Looks Back and Forward With 2010 Report

                The Albion Fire Department answered 24 calls in December, bringing the total of runs during 2010 up to 435 – an average of 1.2 calls every day for the mostly volunteer department. The number was inflated a bit last year by a busy autumn wildfire season, thanks to unusually dry weather.

               

( Nothing to see here, just my news report on the AFD's 2010 stats, and goals for the future. )
