Thoughts While Shaving
Spread the love

Count down to September 1, 2021 is underway … August 2021 is slipping away…

‘Bout this time of the year I think of years gone by and events of yesteryear … for instance, The Clarkton Tobacco Festival … For years one of the biggest events in the area … Kinda celebrate the harvest season … most tobacco had been sold and tobacco was ‘King’…

Over the years tobacco came under fire because ‘it was bad for our health’ and many no longer use it … See more patches of tobacco this year in our area than in recent years … Clarkton area folks attempted to revive the festival, but had to pull-back due to the pandemic … Great memories … from yesteryear…

Economy appears to be soaring, well, the stock market is headed in the right direction … Just for the ‘heck’ of it, decided to check the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the past few years … as of late August…

2019: 25,899
2020: 28,492
2021: 35,455

Still a mess in Afghanistan…

Tired of mowing grass and weeds … First frost in our area in late October … Can’t stop now…

Thanks for your thoughts about my thoughts…

For the most part, I enjoy Facebook and other such technology efforts … but, can be a pain in the backside sometimes … All the uncalled for attempts to hijack accounts … I am ’bout at the end of the line coming up with new passwords … Heck, I can’t remember them all…

Church day….

Sunny and hot today … high near 94 with heat index as high as 100 … Not good but better than a hurricane…
