Dan in La Crosse

A Midwestern voice in the Midwest. Once I lived in China and was Dan in China, a Midwestern voice in the Far East. Now I live in La Crosse and am Dan in La Crosse, a Midwestern voice in the Midwest. How novel.

Greyhounds
Here begins a new venture in the Dan-not-in-China blog. I hope to post links to stories I write for the La Crosse Tribune. Posting it here may save you some navigating around the site, I hope.
So, on to today's article, about greyhounds, retired from racing, seeking homes:

Postscript
An excerpt of an email I just received (Friday night) from a representative with the greyhound adoption agency. It makes my month:
"The response to the article was overwhelming! In evenings past we saw maybe 10people. This evening when we arrived at 4:30 there was a crowd waiting (maybe 15-20 people). We figure we saw anywhere from 100-225 people this evening, and well over 50 of them took applications home. It's amazing how much of a difference one person can make when he wields his pen-or keyboard."
