Do you remember getting out of school … ’bout this same time of year? … for some of us old codgers … many, many years ago … I much rather be in school than plowing a mule or horse (we had one of each), one row at the time … corn, beans, peanuts, cotton … and a garden … Plow it to death…
Anyone else enjoying following the career of MacKenzie Gore, left-handed pitcher for Washington Nationals … Good stats with maybe the worst team in the National League. His record is 3-3 … wins and losses. His ERA is 3.57 and has struck out 74 of the batters he has faced … He was originally signed by San Diego, traded last year to the Nationals…
The Bladen County EDC office is busy … making some big time plans for growth in the county … and it appears Chuck Heustess has the full support of the Bladen County Board of Commissioners … Good for all … Hopefully, more and better jobs for years to come…
