02/03/2005: "Wrong Turn"
Every so often, a slip of the fingers will lead you to something particularly strange.
When I was looking for a job, I made myself a directory of bookmarks to various job search sites. I just clicked onto one accidentally, the Iowa Newspaper Association.
I decided to read it for kicks... I'm not interested in leaving New York.
Not even for historic Pella, Iowa.
Reporter. The Pella Chronicle, a weekly publication in historic Pella, Iowa is seeking a reporter to start immediately. Coverage will include news and feature writing. Photography skills preferred. Newspaper experience strongly preferred. Please send resume and any samples of writing to The Pella Chronicle, Att: Hal Hatfield, P.O Box 126, Pella, Iowa 50219 or e-mail chroniclenews@iowatelecom.net.
Just in case you're interested in applying.
What's so historic about Pella? Well, the Pella Historical Society has an even more Spartan website design than this one and repetitively uses "Holland" as an adjective. They are also clearly a very tulip-intensive group in Pella, a mere stone's throw from Des Moines, a mere 45 miles in fact.
(And if you were here yesterday, you'll remember that Des Moines was visited by the Pope. That's jessespector.com -- more information on Iowa than the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce)
Actually, as I write this, it's 53 degrees in Pella, the most Holland intensive place on earth. You don't even have to wear a jacket if you don't want to. Let's all hope it stays balmy for Tulip Time 2005, May 5, 6 and 7. I'll see you at the Dutch Cheese Market.
OK, I won't. But if you do go, please bring me back some gouda.
