Thoughts While ShavingIt’s been a wild weekend:  Star Communications problems in the Herring Exchange (near Clinton) paralyzed Internet users in the mostly rural areas of Sampson, Bladen and portions of Columbus, Cumberland, and Pender.  It just happens despite the best efforts of all.  In the past ???? years, only the second outage that lasted more than a few hours, that I recall.

The most recent outage lasted less than 20 hours but for Internet, Facebook, etc. users, seemed like a lifetime.  The Star family will double-down in its efforts to prevent future ‘such’ outages. Step back and put it in perspective, 99.99% of the time, all works well, not bad, but the goal is 100%.

Final 4 teams in NCAA Men’s March Madness tournament and pairings:
6:09 PM  #11 Loyola, Il vs #3 Michigan
8:49 PM  #1 Villanova vs #1 Kansas

The teams tip-off in the Alamodome, San Antonio, TX, Saturday, March 31.

No ACC teams in the Final Four, Duke was the last to be eliminated, losing in overtime.  Thought they had qualified on the last shot of regulation, but the ball failed to fall in the basket.  Never dreamed no ACC team.  Guess Virginia was the biggest tournament disappointment of all after such a great season.

Later, 60 Minutes featured Stormy Daniels, female living a different lifestyle from most, making ‘unflattering’ accusations about President Trump.

And, the NASCAR race in Martinsville was postponed until today due to snow.  Martin Truex, Jr. will start from the pole at 2 PM, weather permitting.

Oh yes, our Sunday School lesson was on Obedience.  The males were very attentive.

Just another typical March weekend.

Ready for a new week, and expect a busy last few days of March, 2018.  Looking forward to April.

May Primary Elections ’bout 6 weeks away on May 8, 2018.
