March comes in with a burst of Sunshine!Posted Saturday, March 6, 2010, at 6:54 PM
This painting reflects an idealized view of what small towns used to look like before the Big Box superstores and giant malls. Many Stoddard County residents look back and wish they could recapture those times.
These are the core activities happening in Advance for the month of March. Please feel free add to the ones that we missed - and check back for updates. Tuesday, March 2....7 p.m. The Advance Community Library held its first meeting since raising over $950 in matching funds for the Bill and Melinda Gates Technology Grant. With $1,000 in regularly-budgeted city funds, they will now be able to receive $5850 from the foundation, with which to purchase 3 new computers. They plan to continue fund-raising for Phase II of the process, which will result in 2 more computers at 50% matching of $2600/$2600. Thursday, March 4...6 p.m. Senior Center board meeting - cancelled due to illness of the Board chairman. This organization was pleased to accept another local church as monthly sponsor - Bethel General Baptist Church has joined Christian Life and Brownwood Baptist to support the center, which receives no government help.

Make that "kitchen"
This is one of the joys of living south of the Equator - everything is back to front. Even water draining down the kithchen sink swirls in the opposite direction. Yes, really !
Horrors! What chaos! We can hardly drive on the right side without running into each other - I don't think we could ever handle the opposite side!That's just downright uncivilized!!!
However, there would be a slight problem for y'all. Any vehicle visible would have its steering wheel on the opposite side and the vehicle itself would be facing in the opposite direction !
Really?! Mmm...maybe we all need to buy a plane ticket and head to New Zealand!!
GL - take out the big American gas guzzlers and the Mobil Flying Red Horse (Pegasus). You would be left with small town NZ as it exists today.
We didn't appreciate what we had when we had it!
R.I.P. small towns.... It happened so gradually...
