Subject: FW: Recommendation for window washing & powerwashing

I would like to recommend Window Wizard, a local business, to you if you need your windows washed and/or tree pollen & other dirt removed from the exterior of your house.

Adam Brinson, the owner of Window Wizard, came promptly when asked to give us a written estimate.  He and his associate showed up when they said they would and did an excellent job of washing our windows inside and out and power washing our house and white wooden fence.

Subject: Old news for Chatham County

To the Chatlist:

Today (as I write) marks a centennial of sorts for Chatham County.  A hundred years ago today, Isaac S. London published his first issue as owner and editor of the Siler City Grit.  Over the last few years, I’ve studied

I thought I would use my Fusion Rule blog – http://fusionrule.com/ – to post a weekly look back to items in the county’s news a hundred years ago.
