From the Editor's Desk
Did you watch the Super Bowl? According to TV ratings, it's a good chance you may have with ratings second only to the final episode of MASH. I vaguely remember watching that episode as a child. MASH was the biggest thing on TV. When WKRG opened its then new studios, there were MASH lookalikes strolling around and working the crowd. I think I was a little creeped out by the Klinger lookalike. The game was more entertaining than the commercials this year. I really liked the ad for the GMC hybrid with the minimalist cartoon man pushing the cartoon ball up the mountain. The imagery is inspired by the myth of Sisyphus. The story goes that Sisyphus was a king cursed to push a great ball up a mountain for eternity, only to see it roll back down each time he stopped pushing it. Now I hear there's a commercial that talks about the other Super Bowl commercials. Say what? I don't remember reading that would be one of the signs of the end times, but we just might be getting close. If you believe the Mayan calendar, we are close to the end times. Mark it down folks, Dec. 21, 2012. At least, that's what some folks think. But then, there have been whole books written about the end times before, and those dates have come and gone without a hiccup. I figure, the Mayans just ran out of stone to carve on. Progress edition We're working hard on our upcoming progress edition. It's the big one we do each year around this time of year. We're calling it focus this year and we have some pretty good stuff lined up. As always, it will be enlightening and packed with lots of information.
Of course, it's hard to go wrong when you're writing about a community like Thomasville. There's a lot of good folks doing a lot of good things here.
