I want to elaborate on an article we have on our news page….’Missing Macaw Needs Your Help’…..One of the owners of a business in the industrial park has the most beautiful ‘big bird’ I have ever seen, in his business. Saw it earlier this week, on the shoulder of the owner. The Macaw enjoys much freedom, however, late Friday when the outside door was opened the big, beautiful bird flew away. It is about 2 feet tall, with a 3-4 foot wing span and is red, yellow, blue and green in color. If you see this big beautiful bird, call 910-619-2591 or contact the Sheriff’s Dept.
Had a minister tell me recently about a dream he had. He said he was opposed to the lottery, and had addressed the issue from the pulpit. His dream was that he had won the lottery and he was worried about explaining how he had won. By the time he told me about the dream, no need to worry, it was just that….a dream.
Been thinking about, what if a retiree won the lottery? You know the story, some winners say they will continue to work, others retire immediately. But older retirees no longer work…so can’t tell their employer to ‘Take This Job and Shove It’ as in the old Johnny Paycheck song.
