'Twilight' tourism


Posted at 12:01 am by Mark Carlson,
Herald Staff

‘Twilight’ tourism: The phenomenally popular “Twilight” series of vampire novels is set in Forks, and that’s helping the Olympic Peninsula town bounce back after a long decline caused by the collapse of the timber industry.

Just don’t scratch too hard on those “Jacob’s Java” and “Cullen’s B&B” signs — you might uncover the words “BBQ the Spotted Owl.”

Christmas shopping ideas: Convicted swindler Bernard Madoff’s stuff will be auctioned today in Manhattan.

The goods include a matched set of Bernie’s polo shirts bearing the word “bull” — perfect for the opinionated gas bag on your list.

Or pick up a box of Madoff’s personal stationery, which will be ideal for your cover letter when you apply for positions in the accounting field.

If the Madoff auction’s too rich for your blood, why not make your own Christmas gifts? Local craft stores will show you how.

You’ll save money, and the kids will be thrilled — as long as you enroll in the Make Your Own XBox 360 class.
