For those who may not have seen it yet, the June issue of the Yellow Scene has my last article; I've retired from the publication on good terms. It was simply time. You can read my nostalgic overview of the last five-plus years' and 80+ columns online here.
I have grown along with the Yellow Scene, which was literally on yellow paper and featured entertainment and pizza coupons over muckraking back then; Shavonne Blades has continued to grow the reach and value of the free publication into the most relevant and useful publication in east county, I dare say.
I have coupled my sincere citizen interest with my research for articles on a variety of topics and this enthusiasm continues with this blog. The immediacy and interactive nature of online conversation has attracted my interest. I like the potential for my editorial comments to be challenged almost immediately with facts and context by those familiar with the situation.
More than just my chiming in once a month on an issue, I see this blog as a useful tool for officials and activists vetting a decision or topic. Thanks to the years with the Yellow Scene, I am more educated, connected and interested. I hope you continue to join me in building the value of this blog.
And thanks to all of you for reading me - and providing info and quotes! over the years.

I'll miss reading The Powers That Be.
Dan, I enjoyed your Yellow Scene articles immensely. A monthly gives you the opportunity to research an issue in detail and provide a more comprehensive picture than the dailies or weeklies. You never took the low road (news for the purpose of sensationalism rather than news) and focused on issues truly important to our communities. Ok, enough kumbyah!
Dude, stay radical!
