Jefferson Alley will look better now

To the editor, CM, in thanks to the Hingles

I am so glad to know about the Tearoom. I am very pleased that the back as well as the front is painted, as the article says. (I have not seen it yet.)

The backs of buildings along Jefferson Alley are so visible that I'm sure the unpainted exteriors seen from Burkesville Street give a bad impression of Columbia.

Will beignets be better in Columbia?

To Ed,

I'm curious. Will Mr. Hingle's beignets taste as good as Cafe du Mondes? :) I hope so.

Nathan Compton
As good? More better. Nothing like them in N'awrlins, whether it's at Cafe du Monde or D.H. Holmeses lunch counter or at the Woolsworth store. Regardless, the setting is much better at Mr. Hingle's. Prettier petunias. Nicer church chimes. Better theaters, more & better theology & geometry. -Ed

Devin Feese concurs now, spider a fishing one

He concurs now that Shamarie's spider a fishing one; had not looked closely at the spider's eyes
Spider People, CM:

Oh. I failed to see the spiders fishing pole just out of focus in the background! I'm glad an expert was consulted as I learned something from it.

Apparently with these spiders it's all in the eyes.

Both wolf and fishing spiders look a lot alike, but can be distinguished by the layout of the eyes. This fishing spider has his top row of eyes in a fairly straight line.

Had it been a wolf spider the outside eyes on the top row would have been higher and farther back on the "head." Click here for more information on the detailes used to identify spiders. 12a and 12b are wolf and fishing spider families respectively.

The trip was the idea of Taylor Cole, who will be in the second grade this fall. It was a highly educational excursion, with visits to the Speed and Frazier International Museums and the Louisville Science Center.

Taylor Cole, who will be in the second grade this year, stated during a meeting that she wanted to go to a museum with the proceeds from the cookie sale. Who would have thought that a first grader, at the time, would make such an educated and mature suggestion?
