In my retirement – and some would say my dotage – I like to read and comment on local (Northern Territory focussed) news items. Earlier this year, I began commenting on online news stories that invite comments and keep a file of comments under the heading “Grab Bytes” for each particular month. 

I thought I might share some of these and would also urge readers to consider -if need be – commencing a similar response to stories published in local print or online papers.

Update: I have been doing this for well over a year and it helps me focus and to share what is going on.

Please note that I do not have social media accounts and never will.
