This & That

A cleverly disguised newest edition of Hey, Did You Hear…?

Games Postponed, Rescheduled!
Soon after they arrived in town to play the Packers the Orioles got on the board with a touchdown and conversion to take a lead into the 2nd quarter that never got played because lightning took over so…
The game will be resumed today (Friday) at 4pm. 
And if you wanted to make the trip to Shelby to see the Tiger/Tiger matchup but couldn't shake free last night you can cruise up there tonight and see if the Tigers (Grant variety) can hold a 14-6 lead they currently hold in the second quarter.
Oh and tonight the regularly scheduled games include Kent City at Newaygo and North Muskegon at Hesperia. 7pm.
No storms have been predicted, but of course 

The thieves among us.
The lady whose face, height and weight along with her name (presumably her name) has been plastered across the fb pages to such an extent that she is now among the top ten most recognizable people on social media gained this notoriety due to being what is commonly known as a petty  thief.
 Her crime?
Hanging some bad paper hereabouts. 
This is the reason when merchants are asked why they don’t take checks their mind likely goes directly to that drawer filled with bogus paper promises representing dollars lost and also why banks sometimes ask for everything from your license to your last 4 addresses even if the teller is your sister.
There have always been thieves, none as clever as they would like you to believe, but always capable of justifying their violation of others. We know this, we accept this and we all know it's unlikely to ever change.
But it remains so utterly disappointing.

Horse pulls info
We saw some confusion and questions on a local site about the horse pulls coming to Shaw Pask Saturday.
They start at 5pm and are pretty cool things to watch if you like horses, big horses, big horses working hard and a glimpse at how things were once done. Shaw Park is across from the Newaygo cemetery on Croton Drive. Bring a lawn chair for comfort.

North Shore (Shoe), Smugglers, and ???
And it looks from the photo above  as if maybe work on the Hess Lake eatery site has begun to get some traction.
We can’t wait.

The end of summer?
And this is it folks. Labor day weekend that 3-day stretch  that seemed like a distant far off beacon of autumn back when Memorial Day was just kicking summer  into gear (well except for June) is here. They’ve already begun taking school supplies off the shelves so prepare to see Halloween stuff starting next week.
