August 21st 1798 saw the death of James Wilson, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution.

Wilson was born on September 14th 1742 at Carskerdo,Farm, near Ceres, the fourth of the seven children of Alison Landall and William Wilson, a Presbyterian farming family.

He attended the Universities of St.Andrews, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. He never finished his studies, as he sailed for the New World in 1765. Aided by some letters of introduction, he became a tutor with the College of Philadelphia. He received an honorary M.A. shortly thereafter. In November 1767, he was admitted to the bar, and thus pursuing his recent-born interest in the law. He set up his own practice in Reading in the year 1768. He was quite successful, as he handled nearly half of the cases charged in the country court.

In 1774, he wrote an essay with the title:“ Considerations on the Nature and Extent of the Legislative Authority of the British Government.” He distributed this article among the members of the First Continental Congress. Within those pages, he set down a number of arguments which severely challenged the parliamentary authority over America. In the final conclusion of this manuscript, he states that Parliament had no power whatsoever over the American colonies. Although he accepted in some ways the power of the Monarch, he would not subject himself to the whims of Parliament, in which the colonies had no representation. His manuscript was read in both America and England, and created quite a stir. He was one of the first to ever voice these opinions in a sensible, well-argumented manner.

As a member of the Pennsylvanian Provincial Congress, he made a passionate speech about the possibility of an unconstitutional act made by Parliament. Judicial Review, the American system of checking governmental acts with the Constitution, was on its way.

In the same year, 1775, he signed the Declaration of Independence as a member of the Second Continental Congress. According to sources, it seems he hesitated at first, but signed anyway. This was due to the fact that he was a representative of the Middle States, where opinions about independence differed. But by signing the Declaration, he broke the deadlock the Pennsylvania delegation was in. His signature made sure Pennsylvania voted for independence.

During the next years he was an occasional member of the Continental Congress, and was present at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which assembled with the purpose of drafting The Constitution of the United States of America. Here he was a very influential figure, whose ideas where heavily incorporated in one of the most important documents in history. Thus the Constitution bears his signature.

In 1789, he became a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, and in the same year was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court.

It’s not all good news on this Scottish born American though, he was a terrible businessman and he took flight to escape imprisonment for debt. Eventually his $197,000 debt sent him to jail twice, but only for short stays. This didn’t seem to have affected his duties as a judge though as he continued on the Federal judicial circuit despite his misdemeanors.

In 1798, James Wilson suffered a bout of malaria and then died of a stroke at the age of 55, he was buried in the Johnston cemetery on Hayes Plantation near Edenton, but was later reinterned in 1906 at Christ Churchyard, Philadelphia.

Such a nice day. Although on the wicked hot side. We took a ride into Edenton and stopped in town. Found James some sneakers then threw them in the car and continued our stroll around town. Stopped by the new bakery that I follow on Facebook but hadn’t had a chance to visit yet. MY GAWD the aromas that hit you in the face as soon as you step in. I nearly cried! Instead I bought two pieces of chocolate cheesecake (pic 1) for later.

From there we went to our favorite wine/beer store. Love to support our friend Malcom. I still have a bottle of Lemon Muscato so I picked up the Cherry to try this time. There’s a peachy bubbly that looks interesting too. (Pic 2) Maybe next time.

Next up, lunch at a little bistro. I’ve been craving spinach like a cartoon sailor all week so I got a lovely spinach salad.

After lunch, we went to the little antiques consignment store I always stop at. The Windsor Rocker was still marked at $250 dollars (pic 3) and that just ain’t gonna happen. Not for 1 chair! I did pick up a small bookcase/table she had thrown outside the shop with some other markdowns. I think it will solve my empty space at the top of the stairs in the smokehouse, but I’ve got to paint it first so it’ll work in the room. $15!!! You know I love a bargain.

Lastly we picked up a couple electric boxes at the supply store that we need for the bath house. And then headed home.

I like when James plays hookey!

"Why ya doin' me dirty." There was no fight in his voice. Only a smile that reflected the joy in Peter's eyes. Having dinner first worked in their favor, if only to frustrate them.

"We're gonna do it," he decided, looking up to their waitress as she returned. Both challenges. Spicy wings challenge for him, king's platter for Peter. The king's challenge has been updated. A whole baked potato and lobster tails to boot.

"Ya ain't gonna want shit til we get back home."

“I’d like us to live to see Edenton again, sue me.”

Calling it the king’s challenge was no exaggeration; Pete very likely would actually go into hibernation if he managed to finish even half of it. Still, he was more than up for it.

He scoffed. “Hey now, don’t go underestimating your bear boyfriend’s appetite. We’re getting a jump on the winter pudge, that’s all.”

I feel like I should have put Ariel in with Rhys' blog, since he is one of the coterie's ghouls, but, BeyondEdenton is literally about characters that don't live in Edenton, so... I guess it's alright?

Technically Rhys should be in there, too, but his style and aesthetics are so unique I just wanted him to have his own thing.

How Regular Air Conditioning Maintenance Can Prevent Costly Air Conditioning Repair in Edenton and Washington, NC

As the summer brings sweltering heat to Washington, NC, air conditioning systems become vital for maintaining comfort at home. Many homeowners overlook the importance of regular AC maintenance, which can lead to unexpected and expensive air conditioning repairs in Edenton and Washington, NC. By implementing a consistent maintenance routine, homeowners can avoid major repairs, improve system efficiency, and extend the life of their air conditioning units.

The Importance of Regular AC Maintenance

Air conditioners work hard during the hot and humid summers in Washington, NC. Without proper care, the system can accumulate dust, debris, and wear, which can lead to malfunctions or even system failure. Regular AC maintenance ensures the unit runs efficiently, reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.

A typical maintenance visit includes cleaning the filters, inspecting the internal components, checking refrigerant levels, and tightening electrical connections. These preventive measures address minor issues before they escalate into expensive repairs. Additionally, a well-maintained system uses less energy, translating into lower utility bills.

Preventing Common AC Problems with Maintenance

Several common air conditioning issues can be prevented with regular maintenance, including:

Clogged Filters and Dirty Coils - Dirty filters and coils can significantly reduce the efficiency of an air conditioning system, causing it to work harder to cool the home. This increases energy consumption and strains the unit, leading to potential damage. During routine maintenance, technicians replace or clean the filters and ensure the coils are free from dust and debris.

Refrigerant Leaks—Refrigerant is a crucial component in the cooling process. Over time, refrigerant lines can develop leaks, reducing the unit's ability to cool effectively. A technician will check refrigerant levels during maintenance and repair any leaks to ensure the system is functioning properly.

Electrical Issues- Faulty wiring or worn electrical components can cause AC systems to malfunction or pose a fire hazard. Regular maintenance includes checking electrical connections and ensuring they are secure, preventing potential breakdowns or accidents.

Drainage Problems- Air conditioners remove moisture from the air, and if the condensate drain becomes clogged, water can back up and cause damage to the system or the home itself. During a maintenance check, the technician will clear blockages and ensure the drain functions properly.

Extending the Lifespan of the AC Unit

Air conditioners are a significant investment, and homeowners in Washington, NC, want their systems to last as long as possible. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of an AC unit by reducing wear and tear. Without proper upkeep, minor issues like clogged filters or low refrigerant can put extra stress on the system, causing it to fail prematurely. By catching these problems early, homeowners can avoid the need for an expensive replacement and get the most out of their air conditioning system.

Lowering Energy Costs with a Well-Maintained System

One of the primary benefits of regular air conditioning maintenance is increased energy efficiency. A well-maintained AC unit runs more smoothly, using less energy to cool the home. As a result, one’s monthly utility bills will be lower. Over time, the cost savings from reduced energy consumption can more than offset the expense of routine maintenance.

In Washington, NC, where summers can be hot and humid, having an efficient air conditioning system is essential for both comfort and affordability. Regular maintenance ensures the AC system performs optimally, reducing the strain on the unit and one’s wallet.

Avoiding Emergency Repairs

Nothing is more frustrating than experiencing an air conditioning breakdown on a sweltering summer day. Emergency air conditioning repairs in Edenton and Washington, NC, can be costly, and the wait time for a technician to come may leave one’s home uncomfortable. By scheduling regular maintenance, homeowners can reduce the likelihood of unexpected system failures, giving one peace of mind during the year's hottest months.

Investing in routine upkeep is essential to ensure that the air conditioner remains reliable and efficient, keeping one’s home cool and comfortable all summer long. Don’t wait for a breakdown—schedule regular AC maintenance today and enjoy the benefits of a well-functioning system.
