Sena Schaefer: Why not put Countdown a click away?

Fifty percent of her school age grandchildren love countdowns; other 50% could care less.

Sena Schaefer

Why not change your presentation of the school countdown? Could you make a headline that requires clicking on to go into the countdown? That way, the ones who love countdowns could visit at their heart's desire and the others could go their merry way enjoying summer at their heart’s desire!

I have two school age grandchildren. One loves to have multiple countdowns going on a dry erase board at all times and the other could care less! Your readers apparently fall into the same two basic categories!

Thanks for keeping Columbia Magazine online! - Sena Schaefer Thanks, Sena Schaefer: That might be the solution, though we usually reserve that mechanism for our warnings for our friends who are in snake reality-denial. We're reviewing the situation intensely at the moment. - EW

Tom Chaney: Summer's Bounty

Of Writers And Their Books: Summer's Bounty. Tom shares a recipe to deal with summer’s bounty. This column first appeared 20 June 2010.
The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Custer Wore an Arrow Shirt

By Tom Chaney

Summer's Bounty

After a lot of years of presiding over the morning round table meetings of the Downtown Philosophical Society in The Bookstore, I have learned that topics run in almost unvarying cycles around the calendar.

The earliest harbinger of spring is the first reported rainfall after the earliest member has turned up his rain gauge defying any lingering frost. Rain gets measured and discussed minutely. I have taken to jotting down amounts -- Paul showed 2.5"; George had 2.3" in his front yard gauge and 2.1" in his back yard. Therefore, it rained 6.9" yesterday with 'em all added together.
