Had several recent instances of sighting of bears. Last week had one call related to a bear off 701 north of White Lake. Yesterday, a report of a bear near Cromartie Road & NC 87 bypass intersection. For some in the county, not uncommon, for others, unusual. Be aware.
Need some interesting reading? Google “Why (Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton) should not be President.” Some sites are trash, some obviously have merit. Some just want to sell a book.
Recently had a ‘rash’ of request for friends on Facebook. Most of the time, if I know the individual requesting, I accept. That has changed. Some are a fraud. After approving, I receive message from new friend wanting to know if I had received my money from someone, usually a government source? That is when I realize it is fraud and I eliminate the contact.
