Whenever I think about the Harlem Globetrotters I get a smile and start whistling....  remember their theme song? Ahh that song!! It brings back so many memories!  I used to love watching these guys on Saturday afternoons, back in the day on TV.  Meadowlark Lemmon, Curly Neal, and the rest of the team.  Great bunch of atheletes.....    although the team has changed over the years, they are still just as good, and fun to watch! What: Harlem GlobetrottersWhen:  Wednesday, March 9, 2016Time:  7pmWhere:  USC-Aiken, Convocation Center, 375 Robert Bell Pkwy, Aiken SC.Tix/ More info: Harlem Globetrotters at USC-Aiken ALSO PLAYING IN NEARBY AUGUSTA GA!When: Friday, March 11, 2016Time: 7pmWhere:  James Brown Arena,  601 Seventh Street, Augusta GATix/More info: Harlem Globetrotters at James Brown...

Maid Marion, SC's Champion White Oak.   She is a grand White Oak, on Clemson's list of Champion Trees. (largest of her species in the State!) They say she's about 150 years old....  the storm October 4 brought her down.  Nature takes care of nature.   She was a hot topic recently in the City of Aiken, SC.  She was in bad shape and was on the list of trees to be removed.  The community was hoping there was a way to save her.  One arborist said it was possible, with the assistance of cables attached to other trees, etc...    Personally, I don't think that was the best thing for the tree.   I'm glad she came down on her own, in her own way, in her own time.  It was time.  She will be missed by everyone here in this historic little city.  RIP Maid Marion.  Stats:Trunk circumference 240 inch...
