Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. I confess it is hard to think about anything other than the World’s Largest Cocktail Party, which is set to begin at 3:30 on Saturday. The tables have been set with heaping plates of intrigue and mystery as Coach Richt has announced he is starting third string quarterback, Faton Bauta, today. Wow, …
Good morning, y’all. I’ve just finished cleaning up the Rec room after our Republican debate party. The group was more subdued this time, no food fights, and a couple of the tenants actually stayed behind to give me a hand. I’m a big believer in “many hands make light work”, so I always let folks …
Speaking of hard heads, or maybe it’s hard hearts, did you catch Brenda Wood’s “Last Word” last night on Channel 11? I know, she keeps saying it’s her last word, but it never is. She just keeps on coming back breaking down some news item so that the great unwashed, her viewing public, can gain …
Good morning, y’all. A cloudy, rainy, windy, cold, nasty day here in the mountains. We seem to have caught the convergence of two fronts at the same time. Cold air coming from the North and wind and rain coming from the remnants of hurricane Charlotte. It’s a good time to stay inside and re-watch this …
Good morning, y’all. A cloudy, rainy, windy day here in the mountains. Looks like we’re going to be feeling the effects of hurricane Charlotte for the next few days. We needed the rain, not begrudging it. I just hope “The Great Moderator” can keep it in perspective for us Appalachian folks. Giving a nod to …
Good morning, y’all. Another gorgeous day in the mountains. There’s nothing like breathing deeply of the cool mountain air and having all that pure clean oxygen reach your tired, worn out brain. I don’t know how folks in the city can get by without fresh air. I hear tell they’ve even opened oxygen bars in …
I spent the day yesterday glued to CNN on the big screen. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but, we already know I’ve got issues. Before I tear into the whole Benghazi kerfuffle, I’d like to comment on another piece of political news. This piece of news actually has some meat on the bone, unlike Benghazi. …
I imagine most folks are proud of where they live, and I guess for the most part I am proud to be a Georgian, but I do see a lot that could be better. We Georgians seem to be the example of a pendulum that swings to extremes on a great many issues. The placement …
Good morning, y’all. Another gorgeous day here in the mountains. As I’ve mentioned before, I find Fall to be my time of renewal. If I’m going to start a new project, like walking/jogging, I’ll start in the Fall. Don’t know why, maybe it carries back to being a kid and starting school in the Fall. …
Good morning, y’all. Another glorious day in the mountains. The twits at channel eleven keep scoring the days as 9’s and 10’s on their WIZZOMETER. Somewhere in the great scheme of things I think they believe that a perfect day is in the eighties, not the seventies. I guess that’s their adjustment for global warming, …
