Two times recently, I saw women stuffing their vehicles with armfuls of items they carried from the compilation of free things leftContinue Reading
Was here at wally today. Out of 7 registers only one was open. When asked for another cashier, we were ignored at first 8 buggies in line, seniors all. Two finally went to self check. Finally a second cashier opened. Wally doesn’t care. Had a wally phone, went to getContinue Reading
This morning on 87 and Silk Hope, I saw a blue pickup with a trailer hit a box turtle trying to cross the road. If you can safely stop and pick the box turtle up to move it to the other side, that would respect nature. Big pickups have thatContinue Reading

Hello all. I have a favor to ask. My mother has dementia, and is in a facility. She perks up a bit when music from her era is played. The problem is that I am not there to play it. It was suggested that I might play CDs for her. Continue Reading
It would appear that Chatham County Planning Board member Shelley Colbert has an issue with the sports sponsorship banners located at Margaret Pollard Middle School.

Following my post providing info on 2024 decals, I received 3 reactions, the first a long string of HAHAHAHAs, the second a gracious thank you followed by a statement of distaste for the last sentence (the admonition to “Get over yourselves”), and the third an indignant threat to “reply inContinue Reading

Meanwhile and during, add a $10 “How To Be A Happy Former Smoker” Amazon kindle or paperback if you can readContinue Reading
It never ceases to amaze me how people from “the City” move into nice rural areas, like Pittsboro, and then proceed to ruin them. Consider this: “. . . residents will have access to big-city amenities with the charm of a small town.” That is what is commonly known asContinue Reading
Are you a disgusted Democrat? A repulsed Republican? A livid Libertarian? An upset Unaffiliated? Dislike what is going on in your Chatham County schools or your money that is taxed and then unwisely spent by the commissioners? Could the county (and county staff) be run more efficiently? If you thinkContinue Reading
I was pulling out of my driveway this AM and noticed a bit of flashing red lights and traffic holdups down the road. At first I could NOT believe my eyes. I had to LOOK again. After complaining for the last 4 years about LACK of roadside garbage pickup onContinue Reading
