Yesterday’s high temp was 85 degrees … a nice early September day … A year ago today, the high temp for this area was 95 degrees … The average high for this date is 86 degrees…
Mostly cloudy today, according to the weather folks, with a high near 81 and a nice breeze, around 7 mph.
Tonight … Mostly cloudy with a low around 65. Friday … Sunny with a high near 84 degrees…
The possibility of rain increases Friday night thru Saturday night … 30% to 40% chance in our area….
A good forecast for next week or so … lows in the mid to upper 50s early next week.
Headline on Washington, D.C. Post … Sports page … “MacKenzie Gore rediscovers his mojo but the Nats fall to Marlins” … The Columbus County, NC, left-handed pitcher had a great night … but the team lost 4-3 … Again quoting … “Sixteen batters came and went before the Miami Marlins could reach base against Gore … He gave up one earned run and a walk with nine strikeouts, his highest total since mid-June.” His ERA for June was over 5, over 7 in July and 4 in August … One final note … he was perfect thru 5 1/3 innings. His fast ball was back in the 96 mph range, and his slider and curveball were very good vs Marlins … Great outing for Gore.
It’s football season … NFL season begins, game 1 today … Ravens vs. Chiefs tonight and Packers vs. Eagles on Friday … Panthers vs. Saints 1 p.m. Sunday. The LA Rams begin the season vs. the Lions in Detroit … 8:20 p.m. game. Former East Bladen standout Larrell Murchison re-signed with the Rams, but was one of three listed on injured reserve.
Back on the home front … Back to a normal type work week … Workers back to work after Labor Day, students back in school … just a normal time in rural Bladen County, NC.
Happy I am no longer in a tobacco field, cropping by hand, under a hot sun and little breeze…
Sad story out of Winder, Ga. … 4 killed yesterday … 2 teachers and 2 students … SAD … 14 year old charged…
