Thoughts While ShavingWoke this a.m. thinking about clothes, closets full … If those who have more clothing than needed would donate … we could solve two problems … Get it? … and many would never miss them … and have a little extra space as well…

Guess I had the weather on my mind … 35 degrees at 4:15 a.m., likely to drop another couple of degrees.

Partly sunny today, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 54 and windy. Mostly clear tonight, with a low around 31. Tuesday, sunny, with a high near 66 and more March wind. Later in the week, temps in the 70s … High Thursday and Friday expected to be in the 80s. Must be about mid March…

I enjoy reading sports … and Sonny Jones and John Clark do a great job covering … I enjoyed the recent articles related to Elizabethtown native Freddy Wooten who attends Southeastern Community College in Columbus County. Wooten is a very good pitcher who can ‘knock the cover off the ball’ as a batter … He recently pitched a no-hitter in a doubleheader, struck out 11 and had a grand slam homer … Wish him well the balance of the spring season and into the future…

Recent unemployment rate in Bladen County was less than 5% … If you want a job, there are jobs … Just need to look for them … and be willing to do a day’s work for the wages paid.

Time for Dixie Youth spring sports … Hope there are enough adults with lots of energy willing to share with excited youngsters … Some of my most memorable spring-times relate to Dixie Youth … we called it ‘Little League’ … in the ’70s and ’80s. Call it what you want, it can be fun, it was for me … I still have many scorebooks … brings back ‘great’ memories … mmmm, Some of my players are nearly eligible for social security, some may be…

Bladen County Commissioners meet at 6:30 p.m. today in the courthouse…
