A friend of mine had the gas siphoned out of her SUV last night. Pathetic! Lucky they didn't try me, my AR is looking for a reason to double tap some fool.

2 things to beware of as a political set up~

2. Randy Voller is involved

Any of you fellers and gals noticing the gas shortage here in Chatham County due to the gasoline pipeline bursting in Alabama? There are a couple of stations, that I'm aware of, in Siler that are out this evening. Yesterday, Murphy's ran dry and gas was $1.87, I think it is already up to $2.07 and wouldn't doubt it going far higher in the next few days before the pipeline is scheduled to start up again perhaps next Wednesday or Thursday.

We live on Manns Chapel Road. Last week, spouse replaced old, falling-apart mailbox with brand new one. Last night, person/persons unknown methodically and repeatedly bashed in the new box with what may have been a green or blue baseball bat. Our house is set back far from the road, so we heard nothing. This was not a drive-by-lean-out-the window hit. It appears someone stood beside our box and hammered it over and over with a bat.

Here's hoping the perpetrators' aggressive instincts do not worsen.

Russell


Watkins

On August 13, the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office conducted two search warrants in Pittsboro after an investigation into the manufacturing of Methamphetamine within the area. The State Bureau of Investigation’s Clandestine Lab Team assisted with conducting the search warrants.

Upon the search of two residences near Tobacco Road, Pittsboro, two active labs were found as well as a third lab that was primed but not yet active. The suspects involved have been taken into custody.

Investigators have charged Robert Russell and Kara Watkins in connection with manufacturing methamphetamine, possessing/distributing meth precursor, conspiring to traffic methamphetamine, and maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/place for a controlled substance.

If someone owns 3 Acres of land in an R5 district and has owned the land for years, handed down to them from their parents from an original 7 acre plot can they build on it or is their land now useless?

In the past a plot of land in the watershed had to be 5 acres to build on UNLESS the land was divided out to a family member than it could be built on, I believe it had to be 2 acres (I may be wrong, might have been 3 acres). Anyway, my home is on 3 acres in a now R5 but an in-laws property is also 3 acres in the R5 but not built on, yet and it may never be. Is it now worth anything to them or are the regulations grandfathering such properties in?
