Gourds are a fascinating vegetable… at least I think they are vegetables. Not sure what else to call them. Elaine Bailey wrote a great story from the Gourd Festival at the fairgrounds. Even better are some of the pictures. I still can’t imagine them as “vegetables.” Also in News: What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls; and SB 5 debate prompts both sides to talk of fairness. Blogs: Drawn to excess; and Ohio’s new poor. Obituaries: Robert J. “Bob” Francis. For Yesterday's Home Page Click Here.
