To The Eagle: Thank you for all your support over the last two years.

To The Eagle: Perhaps most people have spent very little time pondering the question "Who creates our money?" Someone does, you know. Nor have many people bothered to ask "How is our money created?" Since it is a man-made thing there have to be methods or techniques that are used. Very few people have found the answers to these questions. Why aren't the answers to these questions common knowledge? Shouldn't everyone know how our money is created and who creates it? If you or I ask these people who create it they will have an answer for us, but...

To The Eagle: We would like to make our neighbors on Morgan Drive and Greenwood Road aware that on Friday night, the 12th, Buzz started to take our miniature Dachshund for a walk. He did not get the door closed behind him when our dog was attacked by a black and white dog that appeared to be at least part pit bull. Thank God our daughter and son-in-law were there. It took all four of us to get her away from the other dog but she was hurt badly and required a trip to the vet. We do not feel safe taking the dog for a walk now. The next time, it...
To The Eagle: What a shock to read the headlines recently in The Eagle that Steve McClain had been fired! Apparently, according to the port sources I called, the port manager serves at the pleasure of the port commission and if "they" need to terminate their relationship with the manager, they may without warning! This gives enormous power to the publicly elected, three-man commission in control of this position. I hope the commission fully understands what this position entails--it can be far too easy to "manage" but not "know" the...
DECENT BEGINNING--As this week begins, the weather was pretty decent, some dry spells and sunshine; a nice relief from some nasty, wet days last week, except for Thursday morning, which was gorgeous. By that evening, the rains came and so did the wind.

Most people I talked to missed the whole thing as they were all sound asleep, but this night owl was one of those who thought we were...
