Thoughts While ShavingBy Robert G. Hester

World Series, game 1, Dodgers 3 – Astros 1. Great pitching, despite 3 home runs. Game 2 – 8:09 PM today. Can you believe temps at game time in LA over 100 degrees.

DC action is unreal. Watched a little bit of FOX and a little CNN. Same issues, both with a different slant, same characters, same issues, sounds like 2 different worlds. How did we get to where we are? Turned both off and took a nap. Had a bad dream … Youngsters must really be impressed.

According to the 2017 congressional calendar, there are about 25 working days remaining this year. Maybe a time-out is needed.

Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do To You…

Bladen apparently missed the bad weather Monday night, and very little rain. At the Hester household, less than 2/10ths of an inch.

New Bladen County Detention Center passed final inspection recently, inmates expected to be moved over next few weeks.

Rumors related to action by Bladen County Commissioners preparing to elect new leaders keep leaking out. Last year, 4 Republicans elected a Democrat chairman. Latest rumor is 4 Democrats may elect a Republican as chair … Just that, a rumor. Stay tuned. The decision is still about 6 weeks away, on the first Monday in December. In politics, that is a long time.

One issue that will no doubt be on their agenda over coming months is what to do about school consolidation…

Congressional dysfunction is the logical result of closed primaries, too many gerrymandered one party seats, and low-turnout elections. John Delaney
