Caught My Eye…

We are well into March – you can tell that by all the basketball tournaments.  This Sunday it’s once again time to change the clocks and spring is trying to appear with some warmer temperatures.  Before long, it will be yard and gardening time – one of my favorite times of the year.

But right now it’s time for another edition of Caught My Eye!  Congratulations on making it to another Friday.  If you are stopping by for the first time, welcome!  Caught My Eye is posted almost every Friday morning right here!  This is the column where I take a quick look at some of the stories I did not have time to comment about during the week – often with a touch of sarcasm thrown in for good measure.

Everyone and everything is fair game – so watch out…

Today I write about 144th Fighter Wing, the Keystone vote, ICBMs, One-Star General, Barbie, dropping out, International Women’s Day, a photo op, I share some e-mails from my Political Inbox, I help you understand Tebow, I poke fun at Ohio footwear rules, and there’s much more!
