The Iconic frog makes a statement

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 7, 2011 - 5:12pm

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

A few weeks ago, Mr. Frog showed up in our backyard. He very quickly made himself at home in our goldfish pond. I wonder what the goldfish think of him.

He sometimes hops out to sit at the edge of the pond, usually hiding among the leaves of the water plants. Of course, as soon as a human approaches, he plops back into the water.

My favorite Everett Collier story

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 1, 2011 - 5:52pm

My favorite Everett Collier story.

Some years ago when a certain college changed its name to a university, Mr. C apparently laid this one on two Ph. D. neighbors in the vicinity of Campus Drive-Campus View. He informed them that the former college-now-university had requested that the post office change the names of the two drives to something like "University Drive" and "University View."

After all, the university officially named the path leading to College Hall "University Drive." So, why not change Campus Drive and Campus View?

How would you handle the debt crisis?

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 29, 2011 - 5:36pm

Icon viewers:

Care to offer an opinion?

Let's have an Internet town meeting.

Tell us your view of the debt ceiling crisis. How would you solve the problem? How would you vote on the bills facing U.S. representatives? How do you feel about 4th district Congressman Jim Jordan's approach toward these issues? Then, there's the notice that the Republicans may redistrict the 4th district out of existence to polish Jordan for his flight with the party establishment. What are your thoughts on that?
