JeffC and his write-in vote

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 14:18:06 -0500

The Citizen blogosphere will be giddy to note that at least one voter thought it proper to write in JeffC (his real name, not his blogging handle) for one of the local races decided Tuesday night.

OMG! USC's gonna lose...

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:15:30 -0400

Wow! Oregon St. just intercepted and returned to the 2.

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

That makes it 27-14 (PAT bounces off the post) and looks like number 1 USC is going down tonight with just over 3 minutes left. Awesome!

Snow in Fayetteville, woo-hoo!

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:56:11 -0500

UPDATE: 3:19 p.m.

The tiny flakes have eaten their Wheaties apparently. Not only are they bigger but there are more of them. We're getting reports of significant snow in Peachtree City.

Does anyone care to vote anymore?

For such an educated populace we have here in Fayette County, we sure don't seem to have a grasp on democracy.

In the election for the 72nd District seat on the House of Representatives, a mere 11.1 percent of the voters bothered to show up and cast their ballots.

Riverdale billboard

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:07:10 -0400

I kid you not folks. A legal firm has a Riverdale billboard advertising its services. I forget the others, but one is Mastercard-worthy priceless.

OK you I-phone-atics!

I'm curious. SOMEONE out there in the Citizen blogosphere has to have purchased an Iphone today.

I've seen a cool demo video online. Could someone give us a first-hand report on how easy (and fun?) it is to use?

July 4th flag etiquette

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 12:12:58 -0400

A few veterans bent my ear the other day about showing proper respect to the flag, particularly as it relates to Peachtree City's upcoming July 4 parade.

Give me your PTC gripes!!!

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 10:23:52 -0400

Judging by the attendance at City Council meetings not involving the TDK extension (or the two vanished Big Boxes), chances are most of you aren't going to make PTC City Hall Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for the town hall meeting hosted by Mayor Harold Logsdon.

PTC Budget: YOU MAKE THE CALL

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:31:57 -0400

Tonight the Peachtree City Council will delve into its budget again.

It's sometimes popular to pick on the folks for increasing property taxes, but let's turn the tables. What would you, John and Jane Taxpaper, like to see cut from the budget?

More than 200 cancer survivors as young as 3 and as old as 91 participated in the Survivor's Walk Friday night to kickoff the 2007 Relay for Life event. More than $500,000 was raised to benefit the American Cancer Society and local programs for cancer victims.

Pitchers, catchers and the rest

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 23:38:37 -0500

Just now catching up with the Friday Braves vs. Pirates spring training coverage.

Boy oh boy Smoltzie was picking Pittsburgh apart. Several offspeed breaking balls with a ton of downward movement. The first start of the spring and he's ON!

East Fayette Co. road questions?

Mon, 25 Sep 2006 17:22:12 -0400

In the spirit of interactive journalism (well, sort of) I'm seeking questions from you, dear reader.

I will be attending a transportation forum tomorrow (Tuesday) that covers East Fayette County in addition to Spalding, Clayton and Henry counties. If you have a state highway project you'd like me to find out about, please let me know.

U.S. Oil Dependency

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 22:12:17 -0400

Why oh why can't Congress get tougher with American auto companies?

The CAFE (fuel efficiency) standards aren't near as stringent as they need to be. Who's getting the kickbacks?
