Talk about Press Coverage...

A couple of hours after I finished my last post about getting some good local press coverage the emails started coming in - "Wow! You're famous! Congratulations!" and "How'd you do it?" and many more in a similar vein. The odd thing was that these were from customers, who don't necessarily read the blog, so the references couldn't be to the newspaper articles. Finally a customer called and told me I was on the Paul Harvey News and Comment radio show, a national broadcast by this veteran broadcaster.

Sure enough, about 12:43 into the 15 minute show you heard about Dave Haxton and his milk and egg home delivery business in Lebanon, Indiana! You can hear the whole show in WMA format (available, I assume, for the next week) by going to the site and selecting the Wednesday noon segment. I managed to record the relevant bit (a whopping 20 seconds worth) off the air from a local source here (MP3 format, 126k).

It's pretty weird to hear your name on national news, especially, as my darling wife added, not for something illegal! I only wish my stepfather could've heard it - but he's been gone 11 years. He practically worshiped Paul Harvey, listening to all three of his shows every single day for the entire time I knew him (better than 25 years). It would've made him proud, which was something I didn't do often enough as a teenager or a young man.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
