Remember the old saying … “Don’t worry about the mule, just load the wagon?” Guess we all have days like that…
I shared this earlier, will do it again … “Bladen County Emergency Services, along with the NC Forestry Service, advised to take precautions while burning and do not leave unattended. Many areas of Bladen County still remain very dry, making outdoor fires extremely dangerous. Please delay your open burning until significant rainfall has occurred. It may prevent forest fires.”
64 degrees at 4:30 a.m. … Forecast for our area … Sunny today, with a high near 81 and windy with gusts in the 22 mph range. Mostly clear, with a low around 51 tonight. Wednesday, mostly sunny, with a high near 82. Looking ahead … 50% chance of rain Wednesday night, 40% chance of rain Thursday and Thursday night. Remember Smokey the Bear? … “Only you and me and our friends can prevent forest fires.” I changed it a little.
Last day of the month … bid February goodbye and greet March…
I recently mentioned things, businesses, etc., asked when anyone had seen recently in Bladen County, including Farm Supply businesses …. Should have known better, there are several throughout the area … that have just about anything you could be looking for related to the topic … my apologies…
I was reminded recently that it was 15 years ago tomorrow that the first edition of BladenOnline was ‘rolled out’. Hard to believe … Thanks for your continued support … Think about Mike Simmons who dreamed up the idea with me … Unfortunately, he ‘passed on’ prior to our first edition…
ACC results … Monday night action … UNC 77 – Florida State 66. 19th win of the season for the Tar Heels … A full slate of games tonight … Season ends this weekend…
