Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. Power is restored and the folks here at TackyToo have returned to focusing on something besides getting me, “to do my job”. You’d think I was CEO of Georgia Power, or in charge of cutting trees away from lines, or both. I can tell you right now if I was CEO of …
We’ve had a bit of inconvenience today from a large pine tree falling over the power line that feeds our electricity here to the house. Anyway, all of this tree talk put me in mind of the old adage about, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, …
Good morning, y’all. I was happy to sit down and minimally participate in our Republican debate potluck supper last night. Trying to catch up a couple of week’s yard work in the one day of sunshine we’ve had was fool hardy on my part. I can see the improvements from my efforts, but I feel …

Good morning, y’all. It’s been so refreshing being able to get out and do my little walk around the loop here at TackyToo. I can fight the masses, pun intended, to use the treadmill over at the Rec room, but it’s almost as bad a signup situation as it is for the computer. Being able …

Last night I chose to get up and channel surf to see if I could lull myself to sleep via the droning of nonsense. I was fortunate that I was able to find some nonsense right off, it’s just that the message was not sleep inducing. It seems that the Mormon Church, The Church of …
How about that Jeb Bush? It looks like in spite of being declared the de facto Republican candidate at the beginning of this political season, Jeb slides further and further down in the polls. His decline has been somewhat like a rock dropped into the abyss to plumb the depth. As yet, the rock has …
I see that the Georgia Aquarium has killed another Beluga whale. I use the strong invective, kill, because I don’t believe whales should be held in captivity. I believe the confined space that is dictated by housing an animal in an attraction gives rise to a number of physical illnesses. We can only guess at …
Our dear friends in the Republican party are doing their best to prove that what’s good for one, isn’t always, good for the other, on a national scale. The Republican party chair and the candidates are objecting to the debate format that holds them to the same scrutiny as their Democrat counterparts. The candidate’s objections …
