The East Texas Junior Golf Tour (ETJGT) headed to Princedale Country Club in Pittsburg Thursday. The day had ideal conditions: eighty-degree weather, a few clouds, and a small breeze.
In my preteen years, I used to sit in a persimmon tree (Diospyros kaki) eating the fruit, which is very sweet when ripe. I later gave up the practice after eating some of the not-yet-ripe fruit which is almost unbelievably bad! The difference between ripe and unripe is that until the entire persimmon softens to a jelly-like texture, it isn’t ripe!
Bob Sandlin — GOOD. Water lightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.22’ high. Black bass are good on jigs, senkos, crankbaits and plastic worms in 8-15’ near brushy coves, rocky shorelines, and docks. Plastic frogs and topwater plugs are still working early in 2-6’ in or near grass lines, and lily pads Crappie are good on jigs and minnows in brush piles and standing timber. Catfish are excellent on earthworms, live bait, and blood bait in 4-12’.
It’s amazing how quickly our natural reactions to common social situations have been reprogrammed since the beginning of the pandemic.
Wednesday, March 18, was like any other day for Mary. She went to work and then went to UT Health Pittsburg for a blood draw. She wasn’t feeling her normal self. “I’d been traveling the week before and was exhausted. I slept all weekend,” said Mary. Mary’s world changed drastically when she received a call two days later from her physician, Dr. Kish Carelton. Her sugar level was extremely high and her hormones were low. Mary returned to the hospital for a carotid artery check. She hadn’t been home 15 minutes when she received another call from the doctor, this time with extreme concern in his voice. “We need you to return to the ER immediately. Your test results picked up black spots on your lungs and this is one of the signs of a positive corona virus infection,” said Dr. Carelton. “If you don’t return to the hospital, the authorities will come and get you,” he added. At that point, Mary had a bit of a dry cough but no fever.
