IN MY HUMBLE OPINION Okie White FEATURED COLUMNIST Ray Collins FICTION
|
Here in MendaCity we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of winter. From 60 balmy degrees to 10 degrees in the space of a few days. We're all hoping the palm trees don't freeze. Of course, since the only palm trees we're aware of are indoors in the climate -controlled Chornicle lobby, we doubt this will happen. Yes, the Chornicle has very spacious offices in downtown MendaCity. It isn't easy to find downtown (or so we've been told) so if you're ever driving through town, try to not sneeze, or you'll miss it. In fact, this was just the excuse some of the staff used to explain their long holiday absence. It hasn't been easy, but we've finally corraled everyone back in the office and are able to present a new issue. Salty Presley, our typesetter, who was the hardest of all to corral, has been coming to work without a coat. It takes him about seven hours to thaw out and so we've been getting very little work out of him. Not that webpages require much typesetting but he belongs to a very strong union and plans to retire in another twenty-two years, four months and three days. So to remind him to wear a coat to work, we have put a new time and temp logo on the the front page. We are pleased to present another great piece of fiction by Ron Samuel this month. Blending romance with the history of San Francisco -- Billy Ralston and the Great Subtreasury Caper. SUBMISSION POLICY |
MendaCity....... proper noun 1. small town somewhere in the southwest United States. 2. place where falsehoods and fabrications are tolerated, as long as there is no intention to harm. We noticed in the past year, a number of news reporters and editorialists who were forced to resign because of their use of false or made-up information. Although veracity is not a requirement of a contributor to the MendaCity Chronicle, our feature columnist has noted that the piture which accompanies his column is not a true representation of his actual physical features. In the interest of truth in the news, he has submitted a new picture. We ask you to decide for yourself if the difference is worth noting. The old Ray Collins:  The new Ray Collins:  Ray is sharing his diet tips with us this month as well as a new column -- The Millionaire. |
We are extremely excited to present two new contributors. Vasilis Adams A., is from Athens, Greece, and has been published in a number of publications. We think you will enjoy the short story -- Mallows for Seline. Our second new contributor has somewhat
more dubious credentials. The Big Poo Generator also known as
