A few weeks ago, I thought I was so ready for a change in the weather … Like so many others, I thought I preferred the fall season … Not too hot and not so cold … Typical human being … Can’t be satisfied … I suppose…
Yesterday’s high temp at the local weather station was 54 degrees, mid afternoon. Overnight low near 30 degrees … give or take a little…
Mostly sunny today with a high near 60 degrees. Mostly clear tonight, low around 34, windy with a northeast breeze, gusts in the 15 mph range. Thursday, sunny, with a high near 51 and breezy … gusts as high as 22 mph. Best chance of rain … Sunday and Monday … ranging from 30% to 50% possibility.
So often, we think no one cares anymore … Little do we know there are angels among us … Just when we need them the most … They show up, right on time … Maybe I can share my recent story … sometime…
How’s the Christmas shopping going? Shop at home when possible … Some of the $s tends to circulate locally.
Read an article recently related to sick deer around the state … Some are dying … due to sickness … So, where do animals go for help?
I have been checking with the State Board of Elections website about local candidates … and I must confess, I am disappointed … Disappointed the info is not readily available. I Google the NC State Board of Elections and search by county. I have been interested in keeping up with filings since the early 1970s, maybe earlier … And, oh yes, disappointed in the apparent lack of interest in public service, period … What happened? I ran a couple of times successfully in the 70s and 80s … 3 seats and usually 10 to 12 candidates … Good candidates … and the public decided … I served for 8 years, decided that was enough. More info is needed, locally and statewide … Not sure what has happened that has apparently ‘turned folks off’ about public service … I hope I am wrong … Maybe it’s party politics … Maybe too few care, period … Not sure … Still a couple of days left to file … Prove me wrong…
