The good, the bad and the ugly: Sunday edition

The good—My diesel fuel story ran on the front page of the CA’s business section today.

The bad—I got a rejection this morning for an essay I wrote. Still, the editor encouraged me to send more material and gave me a specific address to email submissions. At least she bothered to send it two days after my submission, and on a Sunday, no less. So it’s not too bad.

The ugly—It’s always interesting to read the comments on
commercialappeal.com in response to a story. People often enjoy attacking and arguing with one another on a wide variety of topics, many of which have nothing whatsoever to do with the original story. Such is the case in the comments on my diesel article.
