Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. Well Mother Nature wasn’t finished “raining on our parade”, so’s to speak, and it’s coming down in sheets now while I write. Folks over in Fannin county have had some severe flooding issues, and so I guess I shouldn’t whine too much. Our only issue is an abundance of ground water with …
Good morning, y’all. Well, what a surprise Mother Nature had in store for us this Christmas. If it was forty degrees cooler, which this time of year it should have been, we’d be under about three and a half feet of snow. I think the ratio is one inch of snow to thirteen inches of …
Good morning, y’all. Well here we are, Christmas Eve, 2015. All of the lights are hung, and thanks be to Amazon, all of the shopping is done. I find I’m much more generous when I don’t have to go to the mall and fight the great unwashed herds for everything from a parking space to …
Good morning, y’all. Cold and wet here in Nunsuch, Georgia. I can’t think of any better reason for shutting myself off in the office of the Rec room all day and catching up on this season of “Gold Rush”. I’ve been DVR’ing the episodes all season and have been planning on watching them commercial free …
Good morning, y’all. Cold but clear today. Looks like rain is going to be in our forecast through Christmas this year. Now, I don’t have anything against a white Christmas, I’ve had a few in my lifetime. While a white Christmas looks good on TV and Christmas cards, the reality is a bit tougher. Keeping …
Good morning, y’all. Well, it’s cold, and it’s windy, and there’s frost on the ground. I could almost make my prediction that Winter is here, even though officially it is three days away. Tempering my pronouncement of Winter is the forecast for next week. Rain, and highs in the seventies. It’s kind of like Winter …
Good morning, y’all. The rains have pushed through leaving everything soggy and foggy. I feel for folks who have to get up and drive these mountain roads when they’re all fogged over like they are today. I guess one of the perks of being “self employed” is not having to punch a time clock located …
Good morning, y’all. The Republican debate potluck supper kind of slipped up on me last night. I guess CNN was advertising it around the clock, I’ve just tried to cut back my TV viewership. It’s not on Doctor’s orders, it’s something I’ve sussed out for myself. My blood pressure stays much lower when I’m not …
Good morning, y’all. Another gorgeous day in the mountains. I believe the temp will rise to as high as the 70’s this weekend. It’s like we’re having Miami type weather in the mountains of North Georgia. Like I said, I’m not sure about Global Warming, but I’m dang sure about Georgia Warming. It’s real, I’ve …
Good morning, y’all. I tell you what, there’s one other thing that will put your mind right just about as well as a Zombie Double Feature, and that’s a college football marathon. How much fun was it watching the Gators getting stomped by Alabama? Too much fun, I tell you. Watching Carolina give Clemson fits …
