The stuff we write ourselves. Columns, reporting, and roundups made for the High Country, not pulled from anyone's wire. 20 pieces so far, by column.


County Line1 piece

A neighbor's tip on a spot across the county line that's worth the drive. Enthusiasm with a reason, not a review. First person plural, all upside, the environment is the point.

Feature2 pieces

Field Notes2 pieces

Liner Notes3 pieces

The long version of a Drop of the Week note. One record, first person singular, and the writer's own history with it is the whole reason it runs. Not a review and not an argument. Name the moment the record landed.

Misc1 piece

News5 pieces

Op-Ed1 piece

A guest making their own case, not left917's. Signed, first person, with the writer's affiliation stated up front so readers know whose stake this is. Argue from specifics, not slogans. We edit for clarity and house style, never for the writer's conclusion.
