Tech writer in national political news

["Stitzel, Ken" <kstitzel -at- itc -dot- nrcs -dot- usda -dot- gov>]

Applicable morals to tech whirlers might be:

dry spell. (Clearly the openings are somewhat seasonal.)

Other conclusions are left as an exercise to the reader.

P.S. Thanks again to the Rays for their hard work on TECHWR-L. The list and
site have been a valuable resource and means of staying connected with other
writers.
