Subject: wood chipper

There is a rental store in Siler City that might have a chipper.

Lonnie IForgetHisLast name but he co-owns B & L that is just north of the 64 bypass on 15-501 on the east side of the road across from Poultry VIllas.  Lonnie has/had a large chipper.

Chippers are VERY dangrous.  Many people have been pulled into them and killed.  Not a pleasent way to go.

Later,
Dan

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
the Grit and the Chatham Record from this period, and learned quite a bit of the county’s history.

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.

Subject: Toxic Sewage Sludge on Chatham County Farmlands

This editorial was published last year in the Chapel Hill Herald Sun. It is increasingly relevant as legislators consider this subject. Farmers have been told lies to get them to allow sludge dumping on the land that feeds this county. If they knew the truth, they’d reject the offer to host toxic sludge on their lands.

Subject: PLENTY of questions!

I have been watching the posts about this PLENTY concept and so far have reserved judgment, but it sure has spurred a lot of questions in my mind, being a risk-averse person. Here are a few of them… if you KNOW the answers, please respond…either directly or to the Chatlist. If you have opinions about the answers, but don’t KNOW it to be fact… then you’re just like me and need to let the ones in the KNOW talk. Thanks.
