You know you live in a small town when this is front page news:

I was told on Tuesday that I was going to be on the front page, but when I actually SAW the front page as I was trimming the negative I was a little shocked.  I hadn't realized that it would be so BIG.  But aside from having my face plastered across the front page, I don't think I embarrassed myself or the hobby that badly.  I got to read an advanced copy and a couple of itty bitty things were changed, like removing the part about half my closet devoted to models (not entirely true, and it sounds a little creepy) and the tag line for the photo that used "toy" instead of "model."  I did notice, upon rereading it this morning that my website's in there wrong.  Oh well, it's just a letter off (designs, rather than design) and it'll still get 'em there.

The article isn't up online and I don't have time to track down a text copy, but here's a photo of the article for anyone interested.
