Thoughts While ShavingRain continues to fall as of early Tuesday, in fact the National Weather Service forecast predicts showers, possible thunderstorms, and high winds today, continuing into the evening hours.  Total rainfall from Sunday through tonight (Tuesday) could be in the 2 to 3 inch range, and all is much needed.  Planting time for farmers.

Ever go to the bathroom and forget why?  If you live long enough you may experience.

From the good reading department.  Steve Ballmer is a billionaire and a philanthropist, former Microsoft CEO and owner of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.  He and his bride are involved in a lot of good.  One thing he has worked on for several years is where our tax money goes and for what.  HIs ‘USA Fact’ info is good reading, not negative or positive, not political, just the facts, ex. how much is spent on Foreign Aid, Education, Public Health, National Defense and Support of Veterans, just a few of the topics covered.  It’s online, Google USA Facts.

A reminder of the Annual Bladen We Care golf tournament scheduled for Thursday of this week.  Over 50 teams are scheduled to play, in fact it is sold out.  All proceeds benefit good causes related to the welfare of Bladen County residents, one of the most important is grants provided on a one-time basis to Bladen County residents ‘falling thru the cracks’ in our health delivery service.  Thanks to all from Bladen We Care volunteers.  Oh yes, Thursday’s forecast is partly sunny with a high near 71 and a 20% chance of precipitation.

Local government officials are busy preparing budgets for fiscal 2018-19.  Same story we have heard for years, limited resources, regardless of the amount and more needs than dollars.  And, the fund balance must be kept at a reasonable level or NC Local Government Commission can step in and enforce the law, actually that is seldom the case, but it can and has happened in the state.  Local and state officials are usually on time, but the feds, forget it, just pass another continuing resolution, ‘kick it down the road’ and promise to do better, and blame someone else.  Same song from both sides of the aisle.

A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.  Joyce Brothers

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.  Joyce Meyer

My dear friend, clear your mind of can’t.  Samuel Johnson
