Hey council! Seems like only yesterday we turned the calendar over to New Year’s Day, 2007.

It also seems like, if you blinked, you missed the 2007 experience — that’s how fast the year has flown by in my mind. Yet, we’ve made it to another Christmas and New Year week relatively unscathed, with challenges aplenty remaining in our little town.

Table this ... That must be some table they’ve got at the Corsicana Government Center.

And, by the time they are through with the two items that have been “bouncing” on that table of late — the proposed hiring of a bond project coordinator and new regulations regarding the sale of scrap metal — they may need to get a 55-gallon can of “Pledge” to put the polish back on.

Rules of War Let me be clear. I never served in the military. Came close in the 70’s when we had draft cards and numbers. Would have gone had I been called, but I was not.

Commentaries worse than actual column In reply to Mr. Formby’s and Mr. Armon’s guest commentaries of March 26 and March 27, I might point out that it is our opinion page and not my opinion page. Both men were very critical of reading Mr. Narasimhan’s opinion, which did not coincide with their own. They even criticized the newspaper for printing it. I thought newspapers printed both sides of a story.
