Hunters
I was noticing in the paper that Paul Ryan, the vice presidential candidate, is an avid hunter. I guess he and Mitt Romney have a lot in common, but Ryan hunts with a gun and Romney hunts with a pencil and paper as he goes out killing the middle class. There's a big difference between the two. One uses a gun, and one uses a pencil and paper.
Build them up
I just read about the trip to D.C. in today's paper, and it saddened me. I want the students who went to Washington, D.C., to know that I am so very proud of them, as I know their parents are. I don't have any children, but I still have an interest in those who are around me, and I would never tear them down and ruin their self-esteem. Build your children up and give them self-confidence to let them know that they can do anything.
Volunteering
I volunteer at a business in Aiken, and I have yet to be charged anything to volunteer for them. They gave me my first T-shirt to wear and, yes, I bought the rest of them. I don't think it's right for the SPCA to ask their volunteers for anything. They're giving their service to them.
Spend $20
Spend $20 on the 20th was a great idea to keep Aiken dollars in Aiken. Yet, only 14 local businesses participated. As a consumer, I would think every business would try and come up with a promotion to try and get me to spend $20 at their location.
Rivalry
This should be a great college football season for both Clemson and South Carolina fans. Dabo Swinney is a great recruiter and has stockpiled more talent than his conference foes. I think they will go 11-1 this season. South Carolina has very good talent but plays in the much tougher SEC. I think South Carolina will finish 8-4 this year. When it is all said and done, I think both fan bases will enjoy how their favorite team does this season.
Long wait
With school back in session this week, those of us who live in Chukker Creek will be prisoners again from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Cars back up, and you can't pass them because you'll get a ticket. So, instead you just have to sit there or you'll have to rearrange your whole schedule. It's a shame. Something should be done about it.
Beech Island
The sheriff needs to do something about this club in Beech Island. There's drugs being sold in there, and we need patrols around that area.
