A "crisp" (about 67degrees) brrrr) fall day in Bluffton Park, SC and all is pretty quiet for now. Soon there will be goblins and Ghosts trick or treating

Many homes are decorated for the event. The kids will soon be trick or treating, so be careful as you drive.

"Booooooo! Y'alls" Goblins have a Southern accent here.

Even the ducks go out two, by two--"Quack or "Quack Quack!"

Happy Halloween!!!!!!! from Bluffton Park, SC

Oh my, there is a new scandal in Bluffton---well for that matter, it's in Hilton Head too! The Bluffton Today Newspaper is the new kid on the block as far as newspapers go. I think it came into existence just a few years ago and has been a huge resounding success! Here's the scandal------NO LONGER WILL THIS NEWSPAPER BE FREE---THEY'RE NOW GOING TO CHARGE .25 A COPY AND WHAT A NERVE THAT HAS TOUCHED!

Daily, the Bluffton Today features a section called THE VOX. Readers can call into the newspaper and voice their opnions on just about anything as long as it isn't scandalous or libelous. The Vox has become the most popular area of the newspaper. I personally, find it hilarous to read everyday-----wouldn't miss it for anything.

A couple of weeks ago, someone from Sun City called in to complain that Vultures were "loitering" by one of the entrance lagoons. Seems this resident didn't like Vulture birds. People will call in looking for hairdressers and landscapers.....I really wish our Hilton Head Island Newspaper, the Island Packet would consider adding a Vox section or similar to their paper.

So considering that folks will now have to pay TWENTY FIVE CENTS for their daily fix, I wonder if the Vox will be overwhelemed with new comments from readers? I, for one, think this is a given. Stay tuned------

"During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the area comprising southern Beaufort County was known as Granville County of St. Luke's Parish. As the Yemassee Indians had established ten towns with over 1,200 inhabitants in that area, it was considered "Indian Lands." In 1715, the Yemassee War broke out and after several years of fighting, the Yemassee tribe migrated to Florida, opening the "Indian Lands" to European settlement. In 1718, the Lords Proprietors carved the area into several new baronies, including the Devil's Elbow Barony that contained the future town of Bluffton. "
