If you liked yesterday’s weather, more of the same is in store … High yesterday at the local NWS reporting station was in the 92/93 range … Sunny today with a high near 94 and a southwest breeze in the 5 to 7 mph range … low tonight near 75 and Saturday, high near 93 with heat index as high as 102. Relief on Sunday, showers and thunderstorms, high near 88 and a 70% chance of rain … Plan accordingly…
A reminder of the high school football scrimmage late today and early evening at Midway High School in Sampson County … 10 teams participating including East and West Bladen … Check our Sports page for details…
Traveling late yesterday, headed south on US 701 … traffic moving along well … when suddenly the auto ahead of us slowed … finally was able to pass and best I could tell both hands were above the steering wheel and what appeared to be a young lady texting … cars lining up behind her for 10 minutes or more … Wanted to ”discipline” her … smile … sorry…
I see a tobacco patch, and they are looking good, think about hot weather, long rows, and a mule or horse that keeps moving forward too soon … I couldn’t wait to get to the end of the row … climb up in a tree and hopefully feel a breeze, not a cool breeze, but a breeze … Long, long ago…
Remember Dixie Bright 101, tall tobacco … and cure it for nearly a week using a Dowless curing system, maybe a Floyd or a Mayo … there were others as well…
Just dreaming and thankful … I don’t do that anymore … no one does, use something other than humans … mechanized farming…
