News Roundup

Below is a sampling of news articles either about Columbus or I find interesting. Do you like these posts? Does anyone actually read them? Let me know.

Either way, they’ll likely be more common in the near future. The camera drop I posted about recently did more damage than I thought. It looks like I’ll be without my baby for a few weeks.
