Grass, weeds and crops looking better after recent rain … looking for more…
NC High School baseball playoffs decided … 2 teams from southeastern NC … 2A Whiteville and 3A South Brunswick … both defeated in state championship games…
Former Whiteville Wolfpacker MacKenzie Gore had another outstanding performance Saturday … San Diego 4 – Milwaukee Brewers 0. Gore pitched 6 innings … No runs, gave up 3 harmless hits, 3 base on balls and 10 strikeouts … The Padres rookie is on a roll…

Church Day, lest you forget…
Storm brewing down south, Florida area … apparently no threat to the Tar Heel state…

The Bladenboro fundraisers are held in a former school building … Think about how many times I used my recess time to clean up the area … for misbehavin’ … talking, did not do homework … a couple of times tossing an eraser, and on one occasion I missed and window was shattered … Today, it’s students being killed by a teenager with a weapon…
Bring back the ‘good ole days’…
Shirts were homemade … from a feed bag…
Shoes were hand-me-downs…
Lunches were a quarter or less…
And, if you misbehaved at school … and ‘paddled’ … you would get another if parents were contacted…
