Subject: Liquor by the drink

    When I was a kid growing up in Wilmington, NC was a “dry state”. You cold only buy liquor at State ABC stores, in counties that permitted them. The common saying was that it was “the Baptists and the bootleggers” who kept NC dry. Now, there are only 4 “dry counties” in NC. We’re growing up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flintlock Morgan Horse Farm, Mann’s Chapel Rd, (Northern) Chatham, County
~~~~~~~~~~
 It all started quite by accident when in the early ’70′s  Pete & Gael Jaeger purchased a Welsh pony by the name of Strawberry Shortcake. Their young daughters* enjoyed driving in the carriage with their parents but soon they were learning the art of riding. They started at an early age, and what started off as a hobby with the family showing horses on weekends, turned into a business and prominent Morgan training stable in 1973.

Subject: yoga classes- Cathy Holt Yoga introduction

I am so glad that Gene gives us a chance to introduce our businesses. Every time I do I get some new and wonderful students!

I’ve been offering classes in Pittsboro for 9 years now.  It has developed into a wonderful, heartfelt, community gathering space, with classes held 6 times a week. Through breathing, meditation, movement and relaxation exercises, yoga joins body, mind, and spirit into a balanced whole. It can really be transformative!

Dias Automotive on Thompson St in Pittsboro did a great job fixing the bumper on my car (and at a great price, too!). Their # is 545-5554.

And they do wonderful work under the hood, too! I have found them to be very honest and hard-working.

Subject: Pray for Obama

Delcenia Turner says in Chatlist 3278 #2, that there has been a 53% explosion in the US population. She talks of “population estimates of 529 million people in 2008″.

The Census Bureau gives the figure at approx. 306 million, up from 281 million in 2000. Where does she get such a weird figure?

I’ll be praying for Obama – praying that I’m wrong about him.

Subject: Grading work in front of Chatham Marketplace

I followed up with one of the transportation folks I work with, and no, those weren’t tax dollars at work.  It was a private driveway improvement.  NCDOT would have been involved with the permit and will be again at the final inspection.  It appears the project is done except the reseeding, which is scheduled to take place any day now.
