That Huckleberry in which three Indian Meadows children ran away from home last week brought back memories for Mike Feiler, former editor of the Coeur d'Alene Press. E-mails Mike: "Years ago, before we moved to North Idaho from down by Twin Falls, our family was having supper and noticed a 6-year-old pal of our son's walk slowly past the house. He had a classic stuffed red bandana on a stick slung over his shoulder. About 10 minutes later he walked around the block again, then again and again. We finally asked our son what his friend David was doing. His reply, 'David's running away from home but he isn't allowed to cross the street' " … If Idaho legislators are wondering how they did during the 2007 session, they might not want to look at the online polling results of the Idaho Statesman or Lewiston Morning Tribune.

Believe it or not, those grades were better than the ones provided by Tribune readers. In the Trib poll, 81 percent of the first 83 votes rated the legislative performance as D or F. Only five voters total picked an A or B grade. Me? I voted F twice in each poll – F as in total failure … For those keeping score at home, I'll be interviewing Mayor Sandi Bloem online live from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday from Coffeeville. You can be part of the conversation by posting questions online. I'll field them and type in Sandi's answer
