Nothing like a good “dog bites man” story to hold our attention

Vinson Filyaw, the Kershaw County man accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and raping her in an underground bunker plead guilty, rather than face a trial.

Jury selection is now underway in Beaufort in the trial of Vinson Filyaw.

Blogging the outdoors?  If you told me this time last year that I would be writing a “blog”, I would’ve said “You’re crazy”!  Are you kidding me?  People want to read the random thoughts of Eric Walters?  My boss David Hart asked (told) me I would soon be blogging several months ago.  I kind of let it go in one ear and out the other.  Then I started thinking about it and even got a little bit nervous about it.  I am the Managing Editor at News 13, and to most in the community, I’m the news guy.  You know, the person you talk to when you want something covered by the TV station.  Then I asked myself, Big E, what do you want to write about?  We have plenty of folks from the News department writing blogs , how can you be different?

A few people around the television station give me a good-natured hard time about my sign off, “stay cool, drive safe.“

Some people wear their feelings on their sleeve. I wear mine around my neck.

It’s a day all of us will remember for the rest of our lives. Where were you?

I was out sick last week. Had to have minor, outpatient surgery. I’m back now, and glad to be back in the office. I think our little cat, precious Frida, was a little sick of me invading her “sleep time” at home!
