I woke early this a.m., humming ‘What A Wonderful World”, the old Louis Armstrong tune… Think Roy Clark may have recorded a country music version… Not sure why… after most recent events across the state and nation…
Headline… “Maine lawmaker changes his mind about assault weapons”, after killings over the past few hours. Another headline… “Police find suicide note left by Maine shooter”
Killings closer to home… in and around Sampson County… Our area is not immuned.
There is much good news today in our area… and throughout the state and nation…
Bladenboro Beast Fest set for today and continues Saturday…
2023 World Series begins today… Arizona at Texas in 1st game… Gametime is 8:03 p.m. on FOX. Halloween hobgoblins arrive in the next few days… hopefully, safely…
Another headline… ‘New US House Speaker meets with President Biden to discuss conflicts in Ukraine & Israel… and aid package’…
My bride had a recent doctor’s appointment, routine, locally… Several folks from around Bladen County were in the waiting room. Some were there for blood testing… not sure of others… but safe to say health related… But about 5 or 6 individuals (all males) began to offer solutions to all the issues… All areas of the county were represented. Problems related mostly to US and state issues… maybe some local and I think some or all may be available to advise as needed… Will not divulge names at this time…
In another setting a question was asked… Why sentence drug dealers to prison for 5 to 15 or more years… but drunk drivers lose their license for life… mostly those with less means… I don’t know… Not sure if it is a serious issue or not… Both are dangerous…
Should be good weather for upcoming events in Bladen and surrounding areas… Areas of dense fog before 10 a.m. today, Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 82. Mostly clear tonight, low around 58… Saturday, Sunny, with a high around 85…
Same type weather thru Monday… then cooler but no mention of rain…
