		<description><![CDATA[When we first started this blog, I suggested the name &#8220;Ships in the Night&#8221; because that&#8217;s how I often see the Valley. It&#8217;s full of interesting and fascinating people and happenings that no one sees because we&#8217;re all ships in the night. That name was a bit too esoteric and confusing in the end but [...]]]></description>

I got my first paycheck from the Clovis Independent. They hired me the summer after high school, and I remember feeling both humbled and haughty (like all recent high school graduates&#8211;I was pretty darned important).

Someone just punched me in the stomach.
I&#8217;m winded because The Fresno Bee is laying off 44 of its staff to keep pace with McClatchy&#8217;s directive to cut 10% of its workforce. But more personally, it&#8217;s because the Bee is [...]]]></description>
