Water.
It’s so basic we usually take it for granted.
Yet, it’s so essential that without it, we would perish.
And still, we abuse it, waste it and contaminate it relentlessly.
GOOD MORNING: While it may feel more like mid- to late-August than mid-September outside, during daylight hours at any rate, the fact remains that as of tomorrow (Thursday) we’re just seven days away from the first day of fall, although things have been falling out my way for the past week or more. My yard is literally wrapped up in leaves and pine straw and one section of my driveway has been topped off with little nut-shell pieces where squirrels have been “cutting” Hickory nuts.

Still, it’s amazing to realize how much business people are willing to put out on the street.
And, according to studies, surveys and social culture experts, more and more people are willing to share once-personal business with the masses.

FUTURE FEELINGS?
With its current leadership, how do you rate Franklin County’s chance at a prosperous future?

QUITE A PROJECT. When Larry and Karen DuFour of Cary decide to cut a board or two, it’s quite a project. First, they have to hook their one-third scale model Case 65 steam engine to a scaled-down version of an early saw mill.

At the Justice tractor show over the weekend, the couple kept onlookers fascinated by the complex contraption that actually worked quite well in slicing board-sized lumber from small logs that were fed through the mill.
