Random thoughts from 2009

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 1, 2010 - 11:59am

From http://steinermp.wordpress.com/

It's 8:15 p.m. Dec. 31, 2009. I have just been beaten in Scrabble -- again -- by my mother, who does the Sudoku puzzle every day and has a mind like a steel trap. This I know is true. She is smarter than anyone else I know, maybe even smarter than my dad. He couldn't -- or maybe wouldn't -- balance the checkbook, but could dissect a cat with his eyes blindfolded.

What we'd like to see in Bluffton in 2010

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 31, 2009 - 5:02pm

It's crazy, but for the past several years we've been able to name the year by simply stating "07," or "08," or "09." Not no more. "0 10"? It's simply "10," and it is bound to cause confusion.

Perhaps that's why "10" is going to be such a confused year in our prediction. There are several things we'd like to see in "10." There we said it again, and still comes out confusing.

Anyway, we'd like to see the following in "10" but don't bet on it.

1 - A return of the College-Main stop light.

2 - Mayor's court remain in Bluffton.
