Must Be Vacation Time

That's all I can figure to explain the top two news stories on yesterday's local page:

Entire Starman family gets together for first time since 1978

and

River, the English settler, steals hearts as well as votes

One is not news, maybe an "On the Street" feature in a slow week. The other is not only not-news, but a Herald-Whig promotion.

Perhaps I should be glad that apparently nothing, nothing, nothing newsworthy at all is happening around our area.

The bonus, of course, is that the dog is an English setter, not a Pilgrim of Colonial days.
