* The 93 y/o pilot/paperboy/publisher who delivers his news to far-flung subscribers by plane;
* The Muleshoe, Texas anchorwoman who delivers the news from her bedroom (occasionally wearing her bathrobe);
* The struggling Colorado entrepreneur who finds business success employing a high powered sewer vacuum to rid Western ranchers of problematic prarie dogs.
LOL funny, heart-warming, refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot summer day. A truly memorable look at some of our more interesting, inspiring and unusual fellow citizens.
I don't watch CBS news, so I didn't know who Bill Geist was until his son, Willie, mentioned his dad's book on MSNBC's Tucker Carlson Show (now defunct). I'm a big Willie Geist fan -- now I can see where he gets his sense of humor. Willie does the human interest-type of news with the twist/eccentricity that makes it fun. I so miss watching Willie Geist, as now he's on MSNBC's Morning Joe, which is on 3 am to 6 am PST :-(.
