It is election season in Chatham County and once again the old debates about taxation without representation for the geographic majority, population minority portion of the county is getting attention. Let’s be honest. The, conservative, western, rural, part of the county simply does not have, does it want, and willContinue Reading
I need to clarify something . First I have been hit by lightning, 4 times, secondly the post I made was taken out of context so let me clarify. You have a 1 in 12000 chance of being hit by lightning . Now for the clarification . If you areContinue Reading
Ed Beroset wrote a great post that finished with a common sense reminder that everyone has a modicum of control over their life even in these trying times.This reminds me of saying taught to me by some Middle Eastern friends. In Arabic tawakaluu ealaa Allah walikun rabuu baeirakum English translationContinue Reading
Hi, Beldar Since you hail from Remulac—a small town in France—you may not be aware that mask wearing has been mandated in North Carolina. It’s actually a law. So calling out people who are justifiably disturbed about the lack of masks doesn’t compute. “Karen” isn’t being self-righteous. In our culture,Continue Reading
Dear Fellow human, Beldar, BUT, we want to open up the economy. That means people moving so commerce can take place. When people move, money moves. Circulating money is “the economy”. If wearing a mask will help us circulate again, why would you encourage Karen to stay home as herContinue Reading
I appreciate knowing which places are safe and not safe to go into. Right now, for our public health and safety, most businesses are ordered to require masks. It is very disappointing to me, and engenders in me great distrust in that business, if they have a sign requiring masksContinue Reading
Gracious! What on earth were they thinking? Planting invasive Bamboo within yards of a foundation. The foundation of a recently Re-located all metal house- a pittsboro landmark? If you think bamboo Is controllable and a good idea, take a look at the bamboo ‘jungles’ Behind the funeral home and theContinue Reading
In an offhand remark that I can only imagine was a hyperbolic rhetorical flourish, someone recently wrote here that one had “a better chance of being hit by lightning than dying of coronavirus.” According to the National Weather Service, lighting kills an average of 49 people a year in theContinue Reading
Self-righteous and condescending. Good job Karen. If you and your family are that threatened and scared, just stay home in your comfort zone.

Yesterday I fired off a (too) quick note and failed to explain where this new establishment is located. The Hop is a new shop selling smoothies and specialty drinks. It is located on West Chatham St next to Willy’s Cinnamon Rolls and the ABC Store. It’s making quite a stirContinue Reading

Last week I did a piece about seeing/finding things beside the highway. It seems there is no end to what turns up there. I thought it would be great fun if Chatlisters would write about things they have found beside the highway. There must be hundreds of stories out thereContinue Reading
