Subject: RE: chain sharpening

Charlie Brooks on Charlie Brooks Rd (off 15-501 south of PBO) sharpens chains and does excellent small engine service.  If you catch him at the right time he might be able to do it while you wait. Pope’s True Value in Cole Park Plaza also sharpens chains. Turnaround is usually a day or two.

Subject: Re:  Spanish moss

Spanish moss, Tillandsia usneoides, is a flowering plant in the Bromeliad family.  (Though it was common where I grew up, I’ve never noticed the flower, which is apparently rather small and not flamboyant.)  The only reason I know for concern is if there is enough of it to interfere with photosynthesis by the trees where it is found – not likely in this area.  It is not a parasite.  The only thing it gets from the trees is a place to hang, so to speak.  It derives its nourishment and moisture from the atmosphere – pretty efficient lifestyle.  It was previously found only on the coastal plain of North Carolina.  Its presence in Moncure may be explained as the result of introduction by migrating species such as birds or humans or seeds blowing in the wind.  Enjoy.
