I'm betting there are relatively few aspiring Hemingways willing to work for Pocatello-scale wages these days.

From the example above, I'd say there were very few high school graduates willing to work for those wages, either. Pocatello is kind of a cool town in a Idaho sort of style, by the way. You'd think the paper could scrape up a cub reporter who had passed English class in 10th grade.

At least it didn't start with "It was a dark and stormy night...."
The ceremony was held was at a mountain top picnic grove that they accessed by a 1 1/2 hour horsedrawn wagon ride. I can picture these people, in their Sunday best, sweltering in a porta-potty that's been sitting in the August sun.
