Question of the Day:<\/strong>
\nWho would you name a hurricane after, and why?
\nBy Frank Ra<\/em>mirez<\/em><\/td>\n		\"\"
\nBrian Harmon<\/strong>
\nI would name a hurricane after Queen Isabella. The one who sent Columbus on his voyage.<\/td>\n		\"\"
\nMarilee Gilliland<\/strong>
\nI think they should name one Jezebel, because\u00a0 hurricanes are unpredictable and unfaithful. I’ve named my car and GPS Jezebel, because they’re also things we have no control over.<\/td>\n		\"\"
\nChris Dull<\/strong>
\nShadrach, because he was very quiet in the fiery furnace. I think even in the midst of a hurricane we can be still with God.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"
\nSue Noffsinger<\/strong>
\nBella, our granddaughter. She gets real excited and keeps things stirred up. She has a lot of joy.<\/td>\n		\"\"
\nJim McKinnell<\/strong>
\nFloyd Mallot. He was just pretty radical!<\/td>\n		\"\"
\nLucy de Perrott<\/strong>
\nI would name it Anna. Anna Mow was a great go-getter!<\/td>\n		<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
