Rainfall has been scarce this month, could be the driest February ever.
Think back to ‘breaking ground’ with a pair of mules or horses or combination, and a 2-horse turnplow. In dry weather, if was not difficult to locate, just look for the cloud of dust.

Now, Bladen County leaders are scheduled to turn their attention to public education. A Special Joint Meeting of Commissioners and members of the Board of Education is planned for Monday, March 6, 2017 to discus budget and capital needs related to Bladen County Schools. Some tough decisions need to be addressed.
A new traffic pattern is taking shape in the Elizabethtown Post Office parking lot. Has been under construction for some time. Will be nice, and construction of the new Hardees is moving forward.
All computers wait at the same speed.
Any program that runs right is obsolete.
My printer consists of three main parts: the case, the jammed paper tray and the blinking red light.
