ANCHORAGE - A 70-year-old man smashed (twice) into the side of the Muldoon post office Tuesday evening, punching a gaping hole in the wall, Anchorage Police spokeswoman Jennifer Castro wrote in an email to Channel 2 News.

On a personal note, I spent a delightful Wednesday evening with Bulldog Man (not his real name ... heh), husband of blogger Sandy at Oklahoma Transient, on the sidebar. They're good folks, and he was up here a few days for his job.

Now I need to turn my attention to work, too. Thanks for stopping by, friends. Happy Friday!
