Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Gorgeous weather yet again. I’ve noticed a little parching of the bedding plants, but not enough to get alarmed about. If we don’t get a rain in the next few days I’ll need to turn the sprinkler on, but until then, we’ll just thank our lucky stars for the wonderful weather. We have been so …
If I was trying to get to Dallas or Chicago by airplane, I’d probably be busting a gasket now. We’re watching all of those folks milling around in the Atlanta Airport on TV. What seems to be plaguing the summer time travelers is the inability of the security at the airports to process the travelers …
President Obama just made the most “true” statement I think I’ve ever heard. The President was delivering his commencement speech at Rutgers University when he informed the audience that, “Ignorance is not a virtue”. It was delivered in the perfect context, in the perfect setting. As for the setting, the President was in the heart …
I started thinking about all of the things that come our way as a result of the air currents. Certainly the rain would be the top thing on our mind. Next would be the seeds and pollen that travel without borders on the back of the winds. I guess we could call the allergies that …
The Cruz has decided to take his bat and ball and go home. You might say that The Cruz got thumped in the Bible belt with his loss to The Donald in the Indiana primary. The thumper got thumped, I like that. The fact that The Cruz was rejected by the folks most like him …
Somebody who doesn’t mind climbing out on a limb, and then sawing it off behind himself, is lyin’ Ted Cruz. It seems The Cruz has pushed the crazy meter so far to the right that he’s getting all of the media attention currently. I guess it could be the new “presidential” acting Donald Trump, but …
Something else that has been showing more bark than bite lately is the dialogue between the Republican establishment and the current candidates. Potential Trump vice president nominee, and fellow Orange party member, John Boehner, jumped on the bruise The Cruz movement this week. If the fate of our country, and the perception of the rest …
They say that one day they’ll be able to control the weather and make it rain where it needs it. I can’t comprehend that, but I couldn’t comprehend cell phones that are little computers a few years ago. The wrist phone was something only envisioned by the creator of Dick Tracey, and now we have …
I caught a news blurb about an old fellow that had been released from jail for a crime he didn’t commit. Jack McCullough, who is 76 years old, was released from prison after serving five years of a life sentence. Where all of this gets real curious is that McCullough was convicted in 2011 for …
It was such a perfect day that I headed over to Tallulah Falls to see if they were still standing. Ha, ha. I’m happy to report that they are, and as beautiful as ever. I recommend the drive, even if it is a bit off of the beaten path. While in transit I noticed a …
