Keep Christmas dollars in Northwest
I'm writing this just before Thanksgiving, and I'm hoping that if there's one good thing to come out of this bummer of an economy, maybe it will be that people lay off of that post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy for all of the latest gadgets and go back to the basics.

Flood devastated cradle of Italian Renaissance
Forty-two years ago this month, a flood of calamitous proportions swept through one of the most storied cities of Europe. Florence — sometimes called the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, and home to centuries' worth of glorious art — succumbed to a horrifying deluge on Nov. 4, 1966, as the Arno gushed over its banks and submerged the town under a torrent of water that reached as high as 22 feet.
