Liz and I like to sit on the east side of Gallatin’s gymnasium, not to rub elbows against the visitors, but for the view of both benches as the game unfolds. Problem is, I’m beginning to notice how blurry things appear to me as I gaze across court. A friend tells me that when things begin to blur you should use stronger glasses and weaker drinks. I don’t drink, and I don’t wear glasses …so I’m left pondering which is really the problem.

Having good eyes is important, especially if you keep them wide open before marriage and half shut afterwards.

I see by the stat sheets how Gallatin’s Lindsey Robertson was on pace to set a new tournament 3-game trey shot record — if she had only been able to play three games. Unfortunately, a forfeit by Winston meant Gallatin played only two tournament games and assured the former 3-point record to remain intact. I’m glad Lindsey, a junior this year, has another chance next year.
As good as several tournament games were, the best “picture” I saw was Ray Clevenger back home, rooting for the Bulldogs. I know Ray would rather be fully recovered and behind the wheel of an R-5 school bus, but seeing him courtside again was “picture perfect,” don’t you agree?

I can’t see anything good coming out of the spat between the Waynes and the city police. You can’t discuss this with some people without entering into an “Us vs Them” mentality. I’ve already received phone calls and comments about how bad my eyesight is on this subject, even before this edition was printed. I suspect there will be more now that it’s printed.
It’s OK with me that people don’t see eye-to-eye on everything, but I prefer to be blinded by truth than by irrelevant opinion. Please! (Opinions are like belly buttons, you know… everybody’s got one).

There are so many people saying they’ve seen a mountain lion roaming around Daviess County, it’s probably only a matter of time before a carcass of proof is produced. Remember how we once argued about bobcats being north of I-70? Lots of folks are on the lookout for the big cat now.
I heard Dale Alexander complaining about eye strain. Seems that ever since Steve Adkison gave notice about a mountain lion roaming the hills around Jameson a few weeks back, Dale has been searching feverishly …until his eyes hurts! I saw Dale grin and mumble something about filing a lawsuit against his son-in-law if somebody doesn’t catch that big cat in a couple more days.
I told Dale to give it a week …and a bunch of us with sore eyes will go with him to file a class action suit!

Don’t tell your little guys this, but we got a notice faxed to us this week worrying about Rudolph’s tired, itchy eyes. Reading further, it was suggested that the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s bright nose and red eyes are due to indoor allergies. A glance at the letterhead confirmed the fax was sent from — you guessed it — a pharmaceutical corporation peddling another medication you can’t pronounce that you’re to visit your doctor about.
Yuck. A commercial playing off the secular raising… er, lowering commercialism to a new low.
Yuck!
