To Hoyt, an old-school WLOSer – Thanks for reading and commenting. We need to hear more from you about the TV business.

To Tammy – I’m glad you love the “Stoop Doggy Dog” photo; one of my faves, too, if I do say so myself!

To Keith Thomson – I’m glad to see Ashvegas City Council candidates checking out local blogs. Glad you’re reading. I’ve gotten reports about you hanging out at Laurie’s downtown chatting it up with the former EarthFare owner – what’s his name? He helping you with the campaign? Good luck in November.

To Jonn, a college student and Ashvegas loyalist – Brother, thanks for offering your expertise with a blog banner. Whatever we figure out will kick ass. Let me know how the blogosphere can help you. You ought to come out to the next bloggy cotillion and I’ll buy you a big beer or three.

Roger Derrough founded Dinner for the Earth (nee Earth Fare) in 1975 in the building on Merrimon across from the Hop that was knocked down by a car this month.

Roger’s company now has 15 stores in 4 states. How’s that for Healthy Growth? Yes Roger and his whole family is supporting me, as are many of the pioneer entrepreneurs who have made Asheville, at least the good parts, what it is today. Witness the endorsement made by Match our Mountains ( http://www.matchourmountains.org )

Against the predictions of bloggers and columnists alike, I won a spot in the general election, and here is my prediction. I will be among the new council members elected on November 8. I would appreciate your vote in early voting and on Nov. 8th.

Yours for Asheville,
Keith Thomson
