Word on the street - April 22, 2010

Skies cleared and temperatures finally hit spring levels over the past week. What’s your favorite sign of spring’s arrival?

Dave Holtzheimer, Colfax

“Daffodils. No question.”

Skip Hollis, Colfax

(Points to his postal service-issue shorts.)

Does that put you in more danger of dog attacks, though?

“Yeah, I guess they wouldn’t be able to grab a hold of my pant leg instead of leg meat.”

Fred DeClue Jr., Colfax

“Flowers.”

What’s your favorite kind of flowers?

“Roses. I know they’re kind of a year-round flower, but they’re my favorite.”

Janet Schmidt, Albion

“My horses shedding their hair.”

Do they shed a lot of hair?

“Tons. I could probably carpet my whole barn with their hair.”
