My, my, my … How this world has changed, our states, our counties and our neighborhoods have changed, and sometimes for better, unfortunately, some changes are not better…
Remember when I could walk to town (Bladenboro) going or coming from work at Hinson’s SuperMarket, and I knew who lived in just about every dwelling place all along the 3 (?) mile roadway? Not so today! Sometimes we don’t know the folks within a short distance around … within a quarter of a mile … Our world has changed … and sometimes change is not easy to adjust to … Sometimes, folks feel they need some protection … See where I am going? … Just need to be careful … and sometimes folks get careless … and I remember what I was told as a youngster … what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is yours … Ever hear that? I think of that when I hear of folks shooting folks … Sad, so sad … Just been watching too much TV news…
Weather for next few days … Sunny today, with a high near 86, calm wind. Clear tonight, with a low near 57. Sunny, Thursday, with a high near 89 … From near freezing to near 90 in a couple of weeks … If you don’t like the weather today, just hang around … changes are constant. 70% chance of rain Saturday and Saturday night … High Sunday near 71.
Blueberries should be plentiful … soon…
And, how ’bout a Bladen County Lotto winner … a cool $1 million … but after taxes, ’bout half that … Not fair … If you win a million, oughta get a million … Oh, yes, I would take what I could get … Just thinking out loud … Some condemn the lottery, congratulate the winner…
Be careful what you say … Fox news has agreed to pay Dominion (builders of voting machines) $787 million for election claims, half of what they were being sued for, related to false claims … Sometimes what we say can come back to bite us, where it hurts…
Just a few ‘thoughts while shaving’…
