Eufaula Carnival Rides
Between rain showers today (Tuesday), workers across from Nicholes at Selmon and Second, are setting up rides and attractions for a Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce sponsored carnival that will open Thursday at six in the evening and run through the weekend until Sunday evening. 

Walking around the equipment being unpacked and setup, it apears there will be plenty of rides and attractions for both the young and the young at heart. Click the 'read more' link for more photos.

Dogs need responsible owners
Donna Pearce's editorial in the May 1, 2008 Indian Journal described how her family dog was killed by a passing car.  I am saddenned for Mrs. Pearce and her husband and sorry for their loss.  But it seems they failed to understand an important lesson that should have been learned by this, a lesson that others should take heed of.

Last month, I was driving down Piney Creek Road near Brooken Mountain Road and having a discussion with my wife.  Perhaps I wasn't paying as much attention to driving as I should have.  Suddenly, something darted into the road, right in front of me.  Instinctively, I swerved to avoid it, right into the path of a car coming the opposite direction.

Bigotry in Eufaula?

I have seen the enemy...
Representative Terry Harrison says that Senate Bill 163, the "English Only" bill, which received House approval last week, stems from hatred and bigotry and won't save taxpayers any money. Immediately, I was thinking, "of course it will save money - we won't have to print everything in multiple languages!".

Also, I felt that the United States of America is an English-speaking country (OK, a "dialect of English", if you prefer!) and those who come to live and work here should adapt to our language, if not our customs. I didn't see what this had to do with hatred and bigotry....until I read "Just My Opinion", by Marilyn Leader, in the May 1, 2008 Indian Journal.
