With everyone talking about Hurricane Harvey, I decided to see what books we have about hurricanes in case anybody wants to read up on them. Here’s a sampling of titles, ranging from easy books to adult titles:
Hurricane (E 551.55 RUD); Hurricane Katrina, 2005 (JF TAR Sur.3); The Great Storm: The Hurricane Diary of J.
SMH
As Ron White has so eloquently pointed out, you can’t fix stupid. Ignorance can be corrected through education, but if you’re stupid, there really isn’t any hope. Ignorance may be bliss, but stupid is permanent.
Take, for example, the recent solar eclipse that was such a hot topic, for some reason.
This is a short lesson in History. The War Between the States was fought over States Rights. History is History, it shouldn’t be changed around to suit one group of people. It is what it is. Robert E. Lee, was the most decorated soldier in history. He served at Fort Mason.
How’s That Again?...
It hit with the impact of “breaking news”--the kind that smacks us in the face on the front end of most newscasts. I felt faint--and my cell phone “clammy”--as my Uncle Mort’s words seared my brain.
“I’m going to be okay, nephew,” he said. “But Maude had to take me to the emergency clinic today, right after I rolled a joint.”
Rolled a joint?
Campbell’s Cheddary Pouch Potatoes
I grill pretty much year-round, not just because it is healthy but I enjoy it and I like trying different things. These Campbell’s Soup Cheddary Pouch Potatoes are a great side to anything you choose to grill or I have made them when I just want to mix things up at meal time.
This is the first week of school. My grandkids are not as excited as I am. Although, it is a busy time of year. The new routine will be easier for them than for me. I hope all students and teachers have a great school year.
The Art-Trinity United Methodist Women will meet on September 12th at Art at 2:30.
Class meetings continue on Wednesday evenings at the parsonage.
Flowers.
Something special about them.
Fresh flowers, that is.
Also called “cut flowers.”
Flower bouquet.
Flower arrangement.
Flower petals.
Or a single flower.
Like one red rose.
Symbol of love.
Buy flowers.
Bring flowers.
Give flowers.
Send flowers.
No matter how you do it—
Say it with flowers.
The Petal Patch can help with that.
And so can Wild Flowers.
Flowers for every occasion.
Wedding.
Funeral.
Anniversary.
Birthday.
Congratulations.

We Were United.... In Darkness!
Sometimes, the hype preceding an event places such high expectations on the outcome, it's difficult to ever be completely satisfied. I would not put the solar eclipse of 2017 in that category.
Of course, Mason was only on the periphery of this particular event. Bridget Langdale had organized a viewing party out in front of the News office, and for several hours, we followed the progress as little bits of the sun were covered by the disk of the moon.
Safety Issues
The 2017-2018 school year will begin in a few days. Our children are valuable and treasured assets and they are the key to our future. Their health and safety should be a top priority in any community.
There is a hazardous situation on N. Robin St. that represents a threat to the health and safety of our children.
Challenge
To the citizens of Mason, I recently wrote a letter to the editor, I had a very positive response to that letter. The landfill has been on my mind a lot here lately. There are many issues with the closing and the opening of a landfill. Again I want to encourage you to recycle.
