Pshaw! You'll breeze through all that by New Year's. :-)

I can take one, maybe two, items off the monstrous list, though:
1) Evergreen article on subscribing to InterLoc is unnecessary so long as InterLoc remains published within the Bulletin -- everyone automatically gets it. If it's being separated back out again, though, that's a different matter. May be able to recycle a previously written article on that at that point, though.
2) If there's nothing else to tell me than the license plate idea was a no-go, consider me informed (unless you have a hankering to give me the nitty gritty details on specifics of such an ending).
