Under 30
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
About Me
- Name: Steve Hyden
- Location: Appleton, Wisconsin
My name is Steve and I'm a newspaper reporter and writer living in northeast Wisconsin, which is just below the armpit created by the bulk of the state and the peninsula. I don't live in the actual armpit, which is Green Bay, which is a place where fat people sit on their porches and watch traffic go by when the Packers aren't in season. I live in Appleton, a place where slightly less fat people do slightly more interesting things, like watch NASCAR, which is traffic with better camera work. I like living here 79 percent of the time. I fancy myself a deep thinker, an iconoclast, a man who can enjoy both high and low culture. Think Chuck Klosterman with a dose of Jack Nicholson from "Five Easy Pieces." However, I suspect I am not nearly as cool as I think I am. I may in fact be a dork. For example, look at how I described myself a few sentences earlier. What can I say? I'm the guy who started listening to the Clash when he was 13 not because he was reacting against the repressive Republican regime he had lived under most of his life, but because John Cusack wore a Clash T-shirt in "Say Anything..."

Good stuff, Steve. I look forward to seeing what kind of response you get. Let us know.
Steve, that was a great column. It reminds me of a seinfeld episode... only in this aspect--> that show always managed to feel longer than it actually was.. a mediocre 30 minute show might just feel like there was maybe one story told and it lasted 15 seconds... your article covered so much ground in such a short length of time. i'm also interested in the feedback from that one. there's so much potential to piss people off in that one.. yet again i agree with everything you said.
The Politics Of Poop
Small growth advocates and big developers collide over how to treat waste.

everywhere i turn, ala rock beats scissors, poop beats turd.
i've never gotten a DUI and yet i once downed a few bottles of wine and drove home on the wrong side of the road, a fact i didn't notice until there were a pair of lights shining through my windshield, and in fact i only noticed those because my friend pointed them out. then i pulled over and passed out in somebody's driveway.
and i'm one of those people with a "clean record."
i haven't driven drunk since. thanks for the reminder, steve. we should all think about our close calls.
