I've been in the market for a small walk-behind lawnmower, preferably 18" wide.
I stopped at the Cherry's Mobile Home Park area Thursday, and also near Tuck's on Friday, after spying two of three mowers close to what I thought I needed, but these were too big.
We have a privet hedge that a small mower would do very well in cutting the grass between each bush. Weed-eating just isn't the answer.
Traffic on Saturday from Dr. Lori's up past Sunshine Market was really something to deal with. I had to have a MRI (which I "failed"--to complete, that is) at Macon County General Hospital at 1 p.m. Even after being warned to allow for the thick activity of vendors, customers and their vehicles, I was barely on time.
While I sat in my car, creeping along among the crowd, one gentleman on my right tried to sell me a car tag. It was silver with a big Orange "T" in the center. Bless his heart. I smiled a polite "No, thank you" toward him, though if that fellow had persuaded me to reach for my wallet, I would have certainly offered him a job.
I want to give the folks at Westside Baptist Church a strong pat on the back. In the midst of money passing back and forth, they offered "Free Water". What a nice gesture! - and maybe there were some new faces in the following Sunday morning service, too.
Good news from the police department, too - no accidents were reported.

I've never been to a Tennessee Titan game, but having a pro football team in a nearby town has become a source for several interesting stories. Some of these Coach Fisher would rather not hear, but it goes with the job.
Recently the promising wide-receiver from MTSU, Tyrone Calico, made the news for some "off-the-field" activity.
Early in the morning, about 2:30, on May 12, a Nashville police office spotted the player's parked SUV with the headlights on. The tag had expired. When the policeman looked inside, there was a naked Calico along with an 18-year-old girl. Both were asked to dress and get out of the car. Calico was given a misdemeanor citation - public indecency.
Now, this young man, so far, has not contributed too much to the success of the team. He hasn't practiced a lick so far this year, recovering from knee surgery.
One wonders about the degree of pain he was suffering that morning on May 12...both before and after the visit from the officer...

We weren't able to attend the opening of the new North Central Telephone office in Westmoreland last Friday but I'm sure that it was done up with class.
Good luck with this new expansion of services to your customers in this community!
