    I’ve never been good at goodbyes. You know that feeling when you talk to someone, say goodbye, then you’re unexpectedly walking in the same direction? I felt a bit of that as I sat down in my office to write this column. I’m leaving North State Journal at the end of this month. I’m not going far, but my time here has filled me with memories to last a lifetime. I can still remember how nervous I was the first time I walked into the newsroom.

Including third-party candidates, Trump led Biden by 47% to 36%, with independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 8%.
