Letter: Thanks to headline writers

By Jean Kent, Vancouver

I appreciate many of the headlines in The Columbian. These headlines, in the past year or so, have given me much pleasure, often amusement, and always unconditional joy:

• Heritage, Skyview fit to be tied

• The FAANGs come out in new earnings reports

• Hope for a 180 on 360s (traffic circles)

• Oh N.O. — not again (loss to New Orleans)

• Rink on the skids (closure of ice rink)

• Large cap investment (mushroom industry)

• Take Christmas in stages (many entertainment offerings)

• Good night, night (light pollution)

• Sheep can recognize Baaaa-rack Obama

• How did River girls soccer beat Hockinson? Easley

• A Nested Interest (birdwatching)

• Oh deer! Rail overpass work delayed (herd of deer delay road work)

• Pipe Dream? (concrete sewer drain pipe made into housing)

• M’s leave Cleveland rockin’

• LeBroom: James, Cavs sweep up Raptors

The headline writers should be very pleased with themselves.
