Thoughts While ShavingI recently wrote that proceeds from the 1/4 cent sales tax on the ballot would be used to reduce property taxes, I was wrong.  Proceeds will be used for EMS.  There was several discussions by Bladen County Commissioners related to the proposed sales tax issue.  The final decision was, if passed, proceeds will be used to improve our EMS service.

How about a World Series with the Cubs and Indians?  First game today, 8 PM, at Progressive Field, in Cleveland. Fox will telecast all games.  First two games in Cleveland, next three in Chicago and last two, if needed, back in Cleveland.

How strongly do you believe political polls?  I believe in some, others questionable.  I agree there are many phony Internet news sites and polls, supporting both candidates.

I hope I live long enough to see US Supreme Court change their ruling that allows unlimited spending by unknown sources in political campaigns.

Early voting is underway in Bladenboro, Elizabethtown, East Arcadia and Dublin.

Scrolling through the Internet, looking for Bladen County info, I continue to locate interesting sites, among the latest is Bladen County (1734) by Jonathan Martin and a Wikipedia site that highlights ‘Historic Places Listing in Bladen County, North Carolina.’

More Yogi Berra quotes:

Baseball is 90 percent mental.  The other half is physical.

I think Little League is wonderful.  It keeps the kids out of the house.

We made too many wrong mistakes.
