To The Eagle: There is a solution to the mess this country and the world is in. Is it going to be easy to do? Does it provide instant gratification? No! I will say it again. What if people started to take full responsibility for their lives, their families, their town, their state and so on? We have elected officials who are, let’s just say, not taking care of the folks back home. What can anyone do? Do not wait for the various agencies to hand you a living, food, clothing, a job or anything else. Create your own job; grow a garden, people h...

For your own safety, please turn on those headlights as foggy conditions make the visibility of your car extremely difficult. SPECIAL...

To The Eagle: "For the government to permit banks to issue money, borrow that money, and pay interest on it is idiotic!" --Bill Hixon. Requiring commercial gillnet fishermen to try to fish in a little puddle is idiotic! It would be something akin to requiring that sport fishermen only be allowed to fish from port district docks, not floats, docks where ships tie up. That, too, would be idiotic! Giving the Army Corps of Engineers a pass on dealing with the increased erosion on the Steamboat Slough dike caused by their projects and actions is...
