27 Sep 1685 The missing link for Sunday Reading. None.
20 Sep 1684 The person on the ground killed by the helicopter crash was a man.

No errors in my hotel story: the time shown was not ambiguous. It is possible that the reporter wrote it wrong, but unless I know it to be wrong I have to go with what was published.

Huh?! The Headline of the Week disappeared:

The House is a Total Loss, and So is He
New Hampshire Man Accused of Stealing Fire Truck as Crews Battle Fire at His Home
WGME Portland (Me.) headline

13 Sep 1683 Brain fog: The Cat-in-the-Hat illustration is labeled wrong: the “real” one is from Canada, not Ireland. None.
6 Sep 1682 Argh! I forgot to put in a “Best of the HU Archive” link this week. None.
