It is one of those big debates of life that always trip us up and last week it raised it's ugly head in a conversation with my friend, "cake or pie?"
If you have ever found yourself in this debate you will get a vast array of passionate answers. Most people are either one or the other. I have to say that I fall into the pie enthusiast category.
Two-minute warning. Make that 24-hour and counting warning. You may still enter The Bluffton Icon Super Bowl 45 (that's XXXXV if you took Latin) contest.
Over 75 contestants have entered so far. Entering is simple. Click on the box on the top right side of The Icon's home page, answer the questions and hit "submit."
With The Icon's winter weather warning level at "partly screwed," we'd like to poll the viewers of a couple subjects.

In case you are wondering, it is possible to use a small push snow blower on this stuff. Our's is called a snow "thrower." We tried it at 7 a.m. this morning. It worked, sort of. Blew out the driveway. It took three passes; usually needs one swipe.
One of Bluffton's talents is music. But you already know that. We have a women's choir, several church choirs, school and university musical organizations, a couple street musicians in the summer. You get the idea. There's every sound in Bluffton from Bach to (fill in the latest popular group here).
Then, there's Bluffton's own 5 Myles High. It's a group including Krysti Schey, piano, Phil Schey, bass, Myles Bowers, trumpet and Sean McNeal, drums.
