2025/10/09

Clarke County was the place to be this weekend if you love fall, football, and fast cars as much as I do! After seeing Jackson High School featured on ESPN Sports Center, followed by College Gameday, one of my rescue dogs and I checked out the car show at the Hometown Harvest Fest in downtown Thomasville Saturday morning. As we arrived, the clean, seasonally decorated West Front Street reminded me of the movie-themed streets of Universal Studios in Orlando. The cars (and trucks and SUVs) and ...

An interesting political conversation

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/09

I was first elected to the Alabama Legislature in 1982. George Wallace had been elected to his last term as governor that year. Therefore, my first term as a legislator was Wallace’s final and fifth term as governor. I had met Wallace during his first term as governor in 1963. I was a 12-year-old legislative page and he was an energetic young governor. He never forgot that day and always reminded me of it in most of our visits. In 1983, Wallace would have good days and bad. He was in constant...

2025/10/09

It’s so nice to be back home after a trip. You can’t wait to hit the road after being in the house for a while. I always spend a couple of days with the suitcase open in the bedroom trying to decide what to take to wear. I put things in and then take them out a few at a time. Then on the day before, I look at each individual item, evaluate it, then make a decision on the final items that I am going to take with me. I always take more than I need. I am a... Article Link

What the skunk is that smell?

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/09

Perfume is a multibillion-dollar industry, and with all that money spent trying to bottle the perfect scent, one thing is certain: skunk is not a fragrance anyone w...
