What Balderdash! The new issue has me scratching my head in amazement over where they get their writers. One can only assume that the recent Barrow Downs Newspaper article was written about some other alatar, as it surely wasn't this nick. Two items from the article clearly indicate that the writer was either (1) writing about some other nit-cradling carrier of Pediculus humanus capitis, or (2) making up the entire story from whole (infested) clothe.

Item 1 - "...he <alatar> is a 'Well respected Man about town.'" As if! The town folk consider me to be a nuisance, and if it weren't for the moat, I'd have already felt the pinch of pitchforks by the light of torches. However, I respected myself, and were to travel about the town...but that couldn't be it.

Item 2 - "Friends of alatar..." Are there any left, and those not in hiding surely wouldn't want the gleam of press coverage?

Bah!
