HARLINGEN, Texas - This is what I get for showing up early, yet another boring assignment. "Write the piece telling of the piece that's coming regarding our poll," wrote Tribune Editor Eliot Elcomedor in an overnight Email to this Gung-ho reporter.

So, excuse me for a few minutes while I go brew a pot of needed coffee.

Anyway, the much-awaited poll results will be tabulated about noon, with the story coming sometime soon after that. Voting continues for a few more hours yet in our search for the Best Blog in this high-energy, low-results community of 74,000 souls.

Man, it's early. And after last night's boozing, well, even my hair hurts...
