| NOTES
FROM
THE
EDITOR - TODAY IS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27,
2011 |
Gourds
are a fascinating vegetable… at least I think they are vegetables. Not
sure what else to call them. Elaine Bailey wrote a great story from the
Gourd Festival at the fairgrounds. Even better are some of the
pictures. I still can’t imagine them as “vegetables.” Also in News: What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls; and SB 5 debate prompts both sides to talk of fairness. Blogs: Drawn to excess; and Ohio’s new poor. Obituaries: Robert J. “Bob” Francis. For
