Thanksgiving is now in the rearview mirror for 2022, Christmas is straight ahead…
Remember Brandon Council, the huge former West Bladen offensive lineman? … He is now, or will soon be, an Auburn grad, hopefully headed to the NFL. He has had a busy year at Auburn, started every game this season, played all 5 offensive lineman positions. His college career began at Akron, later transferred to Auburn and he was recently quoted as saying “Auburn has given me everything I ever dreamed of. I’m forever indebted to Auburn University.” The 6-4, 329 lbs offensive lineman will be playing in an all-star game later this year and hopefully on Sunday next year in the NFL…
NFL score from last night … Steelers 24 – Colts 17. Both teams have won 4 games this year and lost 7.
I hope the individual accused of beating a senior citizen in Bladenboro is arrested soon. Second person beaten, robbed and left along the way in the area over the past few weeks … Can you believe? And, they live among us…
My leaf producing tree is still producing … litter. Best thing that has happened recently … many of the leaves have been blown away … Hopefully into the woods and not in nearby yards…
Changing the conversation … Anyone around still doing hog-killings? Big deal when I was a youngster … Kill the hog, hang it up and carve it … and share with neighbors and store other portions in the “smoke house” … Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a smoke house in many years. Hams, shoulders, stuffed sausage and hog-head cheese … Sorry, doesn’t sound good does it? … But my senior citizen friends, raised in the country as I was, should be able to tell all about it.
Sunny today, high near 70 degrees. Tonight, patchy fog after 1 a.m. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, low around 52. Wednesday, a 70% chance of rain and gust in the 22 mph range…
