Morning y'all. Last week when we took a short trip to Clarksville there was a wreck about 2 miles in front of us. Bad one. 19 injured. Semi. Several cars. Traffic was moving along about 70- 80 mph. Laundry calls. FCC.

Hey D
Monday....after a 4 days off, low motivation.
When back home yesterday to visit Mom & Dad, picked up daughter & grand daughter. Had a good visit, except Dad might be missing a few of his ducks....
He sits on the porch swing and will holler for them, then feed 'em. He wanted the grand daughter to see them but we could only find 2 and they wouldn't come up out of the pond. Probably coyotes got the others.... Hopefully not.

Starbucks is about half stupid.Listen to the radio as I read these threads and our local County Commissioner is talking about Starbucks. He was livid about what happened in Arizona when the 5 police officers got tossed. He cited many other examples of their behavior over the years. He said he would never set a foot in one nor would any of the deputy sheriffs or commissioners. There is a new Starbucks, first in our county, being built just down the road and I guarantee you they are in a heap of trouble before the doors open. This is a very conservative area and nobody is going to pay New York City prices for a cup of coffee to start with. Plus we have the highest ratio of veterans per population than any county in Florida and many, many retired police officers. These folks will never go to a Starbucks.
Bad move Starbucks. You may make it in Seattle and California and New York but this is a whole different ball game. Plus we have a Popeye's chicken next door to where Starbucks is being built. And there is a Golden Corral across the road. Fried chicken vs. Starbucks? That ain't no contest.
I've only been in a Starbucks once that I can remember and that was for a meeting. I don't see a reason to go into one again.Listen to the radio as I read these threads and our local County Commissioner is talking about Starbucks.

Same here. Over priced, low quality coffee.
About 6 weeks!
82, are you going to make it? I'm available any day but Wednesday morning.
Dad's service was great this morning. The funeral home did an awesome job just like they did with Mom. The local fire department gave him an escort to the cemetery with an ambulance and a fire truck and six of our finest served as his pall bearers. He had been on the board of directors of the fire dept. for 31 years ending in 2011. The chief presented me with a folded flag from the VA. When taps started playing my wife about lost it. Me too.

I received an e-mail this afternoon regarding basketball season ticket renewals. Looks like my two seats will cost $4,800 this year. The marquee featured game is UL. Every thing else out of conference is ordinary. UT, Florida and Auburn are the featured SEC match ups. Deadline is in August.
That hurts if you live hundreds of miles away. Wow.
I have family in Kentucky and they use them. I may see a game or two every couple a years. I hate climbing down to the floor area and back up and would rather watch on a 60" TV. Daddy bought these in 1960 and we have kept them all of these years. We started out on the very last row of the Crows Nest (daddy's word for the balcony) in Memorial and now are 12 rows from the floor in Rupp. Never asked one time to move seats, longevity moved us. Tickets were about $3.00 back then. Students free.
I can't give them up now after soon to be 60 years in the family.
I'm so anti NBA but I may watch a game or two with current UK players..saddens me that Lebron can reap their glory...that's jus me...
Absolutely, count me in. Pick a date and I'll rearrange my busy jet-setting schedule.

Glad the service for your Dad went well. Those are tough to get through but somewhat healing at the same time. What a good man he must have been. I know you're proud of him.
Bowden will NOT be underrated by the end of the season.My shout out of the day. Link
Ant can block a game winning basket for the opposing team but somehow they will make it into a Leebron thing Write it down..
Tommy, arrangements made? prayers with ya cuz as I have traveled this road..
I am proud of him and envious of the life he led. In addition to the fire department he was also involved in the Ruritan Club and was elected by the state chapters to be the Lt. Governor for the Kentucky clubs one year. He was on the board of directors at our church as well. He was a giver.
When we lived in Lexington I was admitted free to MC on a legislative pass except occasionally when he needed to give someone a treat. I was lucky.
He was buried this morning.
hope ur doing well....thinkin
bout ya....I know it don't make things easier, but I am thinkin bout ya..
I appreciate the thoughts. I'm doing pretty good I guess.
Good morning from ATX. I just drove ~900 miles in 15 hours and ~1050 miles in 21 hours. Wow. Helps when you travel in a good car (2019 Nissan Sentra) for such journeys.
Wonderful visit with Bert and Sherry on Sunday. Had a great time. Best Cole slaw on Planet Earth.
We'll check back later.

Good morning Bev.
I'm headed for another chaotic day leading from the bottom. The old you can lead a horse to water thing . . . Keep smiling the whole world needs them.

Woke up to roaring thunder and we are getting a soaking right now. Our temperature is 74° and we should make 86° this afternoon.
So how old is too old to drive. The radio man is talking to the sheriff and they are discussing a 90 year old man hitting and killing a 77 year old man in a motorized wheel chair driving along the road. You see a lot of motorized wheel chairs as you drive around Florida so we learn to keep our eyes open all the time. The other story is 90 manatees have been killed by boats this season. If you are out on your boat and come upon one keep a distance of at least 50 feet. They are not the smartest creatures in the sea and will not get out of your way. You see manatees with scars down their back all the time where they got under the boat and the propeller tattooed them. The other story on the local news is callers to the show screaming "they ain't paying no stinking reparations to anybody" Now you are caught up on the local news for a July 9.

Morning. Gotta let the chickens out of the pen. Some launry. Kids. FCC.
What a beautiful service that was ymmot and you had to be pleased in your spirit for the outpouring of love and respect. Our prayers continue for peace and comfort. Knowing our Lord received him into Heaven with the words, "well done my good and faithful servant" will help with the pain and loneliness that comes with the loss of our family.

Here is an easy one. 49' or 50'
It really was a beautiful service. I wish he had known in advance that the firemen were going to carry him to rest. It broke his heart when he got kicked off the fire board. He openly and vigorously campaigned against a guy for county judge but the guy got elected anyway. The first thing he did was remove my father. That dude was a one termer because Dad was right when he told him he didn't have any business running a chicken coop let alone an entire county.
He was outspoken and you didn't have to wonder what he was thinking. He got that from me.

It is good to see you back safely. That trip would be described as binge driving.
We sure enjoyed the good conversation.
I've got quite a day ahead of me. Have to get everything off the porch, take up the base boards around the perimeter, pressure wash the entire patio, mow the grass, weed eat. All that is in preparation for tomorrow when we're supposed to put the last coat of sealant on the roof, lay the carpet, and hang the screen. Whew!
Good luck. It sounds like a good plan.
It is sunny and 74.8°F in little Smiths Grove.
Yesterday I got the yard mowed and edged. Had company for an hour, talked to Ymmot on the phone, drank some 1792 Whiskey, cooked tenderloin and apples, took a nap and then watched TV. That ain't a bad Sunday.
I have to go to Bowling Green today to get some medicine, but other than that I plan on being lazy.

You're right Bert, that wouldn't be a bad Sunday at all, but since yesterday was Monday, we're going to call it AWESOME!
The guys that still send me three checks a month. What a wonderful railroad!
