Thoughts and opinions with a Southern point of view
Good morning, y’all. Pumpkin pie for breakfast, turkey sandwiches for lunch and dressing and gravy for dinner. You just can’t find anything wrong with Thanksgiving leftovers. Now, I know for all of the people trying to keep their waist size under the circumference of the Hadron Collider, it’s not a good thing. But for the …
Good morning, y’all. Another gorgeous day in the mountains. You all should come and visit the mountains of North Georgia. From Fort Oglethorpe to Clayton and all points in between, it’s hard to not find a good spot to spend a couple of days. Be sure to bring a couple of dollars so you can …
Good morning, y’all. Another beautiful, but cold mountain day here at TackyToo. As the luck of the draw, and the terms of my parole, would have it, we were the lucky house hosting this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. Setting up the Rec room for Thanksgiving is not that different than setting it up for the Presidential …
Good morning, y’all. I woke up to the crisp mountain air, one year older. As I sit on the porch with my morning coffee and reflect on the quiet beauty of the mountains, I can’t help but think about “what a long strange trip it’s been.” “Truckin” by the “Grateful Dead” seems to be good …
Good morning, y’all. Wow, what a week. The internal pressure in my head has reduced back down to about 35 psi, so I’ll at least be able to to focus on the big screen today when my beloved Dawgs take on the interlopers from South Georgia, Georgia Southern. No game is a lock anymore, and …
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 …
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 …
Good morning, y’all. I don’t know how many rain days we’ve had in a row, but it seems like a hundred. We had a real strong storm pass through today that left blue skies in its wake. It was such a stunning sight that I started to take a picture of the sky, kind of …
Good morning, y’all. I’m as excited as a flea on a St. Bernard. My Bulldogs have the opportunity to redeem themselves today against the Volunteers of Tennessee. I’m hoping our boys are not intimidated by the appearance of the Volunteers. It took generations of inbreeding to attain the physical, and mental, attributes of a Tennessee …
