The Slice: Slice polls set to close on Thursday
I freely admit it.
I’ve been overdoing the stack-o’-questions columns lately. It’s lazy. Sorry.
But if you will bear with me, I want to offer up one more.
Here’s the deal. Back in the summer of 1994, The Slice ran a brief “Carol Poll,” a question only readers with that name were eligible to answer.
Then, in October of 2000, there was a “Caitlin Poll.” And there may have been a few others over the years, culminating with a recent “Pat Poll.”
Folks, I need to get this out of my system.
So today’s Slice will be a name-poll blowout. Then, Thursday, back to normal, such as it is.
Jason Poll: What is your secret talent?
Kim Poll: What advice would you give someone who just moved to North Idaho?
