Anyone can get scammed on Facebook Marketplace, even Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott. He was willing to talk about it with our Steve Pokin, who says the investigative trail led to Africa. Arnott also shared lessons learned from the incident.

"For me, all of these are unsung heroes that maybe history thought they'd be forgotten, that we'd never know about them ever in life again," Lyle Foster said. "Actually, these markers bring their story back to life and keep it alive for perpetuity."

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

Financial statement today reminded me HOW GREAT IT IS when folks request that their libraries acquire books. 😍

Seriously, if you want a totally free-to-you way to help an author, submit a request with your local library. Those sales help us so much, in whatever format.

My memory of Y2K is waiting for midnight like a dope, not worried but kind of waiting to see whether things were for sure okay. And then thinking, “Wait, it’s been January 1 in other countries for a while now. If the world melted down, we’d know.” And that was the end of it.
