now for the local news

.....
UNC-P is finally getting another football team after 53 years. The season should start in 2007. Lots of people are excited. Or at least pretending to be.

.....
Downtown Lumberton is getting a parking deck sometime next year. About 10 yrs too late. Half the stores are closed. But I guess I should look on the bright side, the church people will have plenty places to park.

.....
Monday Dec 6 is the Lighting of the Downtown Christmas Tree. I think at 6 pm. Santa will arrive in a sleigh. (making a note to self: Download the hello photo program). I'll make sure I take some photos.
