Thoughts While ShavingTime to ‘flip’ the calendar … December 1, 2022. I know, always say it has been a fast month or fast year … so it seems…

Stock market up big time yesterday … Fed chair indicated the increase in interest rates may be slowed … as the effort to slow inflation appears to be working. Not stopped … but slowed…

Dow Jones and other such markets soared yesterday … Dow Jones gained up about 700 points … Anyone feeling less pain … I know, hopefully soon.

Christmas time is coming … Christmas decorations, cantata practice at many churches, more shopping at local outlets, turkeys on the run … no, not really, but maybe should be…

43 degrees at 4 a.m. today … Sunny today, with a high near 54 and wind gusts in the 15 mph range. Mostly clear tonight, with a low near 30 … brrrr. Friday, sunny, with a high near 62 and less wind … There is a slight chance of rain Saturday … (30%)

An arrest in the cruel beating recently of a Bladenboro resident is good news … Hopeful … One arrest, still one more to go and the sooner the better … two locals badly beaten and left for dead in a couple of months…
