New OSer Tammy J. Finney is one of my columnists.  She's totally untrained as a writer (she's a hog farmer, as well as being an absolutely crackerjack ad salesperson) but is, hands-down, the best natural writer I've ever worked with.

Her column is sort of Erma Bombeck on the farm, but that's really an inadequate description.

Anyway, her column this week is, I think, the best one she's ever done.  I know people here really appreciate good writing and this is a real doozy.  Check it out at:  http://open.salon.com/blog/tammy_j_finney/2010/12/14/fishin

You can check out some of her other work on her OS blog.  She also recently privately printed and released a book of her columns, which is selling like hotcakes.
