Foggy Sunday Morn



It was foggy at 7:30 this morning when I started on my walk. You can see the gate and fence that George, Greg and kelly fixed yesterday. Kelly is bringing some horses down today..



This is the pond taken from the old barn by Clayton's. That is tin from the barn roof at the lower right.


This is the road over by Hampton's. When I left home, the sun was breaking through, but from Dan's clear around to here there was no sunshine stricking the road. When I got back to the old Stone place at 9 am, the sun was just starting to break through on the road. I walked to Peden's chicken house and it took me 2 hours.

Saturday



NO WORK!! I walked up to the Douglas road today. This is a view from the old Carl Bishop house just at the first crest on the road before you turn off on our road. They resurfaced the road last week, and Friday, the county painted strips on it. It looks odd with yellow strips.



This is the big tree that was down on the fence. When George cut the big part of the trunk off, laying on the ground here, the tree stood back up in its hole. I think it may grow back. What do you think?

Kelly is going to bring his horses down here. They got the corner post fixed today and the gate back up, so everything is ready. If things get really bad, I guess we can eat horse meat.

The Lucky One

I seriously predict that one day whichever candidate loses this election no matter if it is Obama or McCain, that man will one day, before the next four years is over, look back and thank his lucky stars he lost.

I think what our government is doing now with our money is protecting the fat cats from what is inevitable, the failure of our entire economy. Even with all this money, there will be more and more crisis until we (the people) have nothing left in our government coffers to give. When the government has given away all our money and has no more bailout money the whole thing will crash. Our ship will sink because we used all our buckets to bail out the banks and the bankers leaving nothing for our ship of state. But, many monied people that would loose so much if the crash came this week will have taken the people's money and ran, probably to another country.

The luckiest man in the world is the man that loses the next presidential election in the US of A.

a short walk



I walked down to see what George was doing with the tree. All the branches are off and cut up. Now the hard part, the big trunk.



This is the 'road' down to where the tree is. That light pole is in my yard. The grass tips are purple now.

Then I walked out to Dan's. That is about 30 minutes of walking.

Something for Patsy to read

Dr. Thomas Walker's Journal here
http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/squabble/walker.html

Ambrose Powell accompanied Walker on his jurney and discovered Powell Valley which was named after him. Maybe our Powell DNA will match up with Ambrose Powell.
