Nikki is right! You really have a gift for this journalism thing, William.
The coverage on North escambia just amazes me sometimes. you got the picture of the deputies at the house and the guy being put in the helicopter and it was a not a gross picture of him either. I hate how the tv news and the newsjournal shows pictures of people on the beds bleeding.
