11 more days before calculating my yearly change discoveries total. Amount of coins found June 26, 2020 to June 25, 2021 should set a new yearly record.

This morning's haul. Life is good.

I have been in this Post Office many times but never saw this big boy there. I will be on the lookout from now on, if I am ever in that little town again.

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven:
When they get there, St. Peter says. "We only have one rule here in heaven, don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.
Well, along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says. "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"
The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks.
And then one day St.Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on - Very tall, long eyelashes.and muscular.
St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says. "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
The guy says. "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

I guess it has been about 25 years now but when I was living on Lake Lanier in North Georgia we went white water rafting on the Chattooga River where Deliverance was filmed. We started rafting in South Carolina and ended in Georgia. The first time we rafted we had guides that were coeds from Clemson University which is nearby. They would point out certain areas of the river that were the locations certain scenes were filmed. "There is where the hand came out of the water" and over there on the bank is where "Ned Beatty got his." It was a fun trip and the girls were great.

Many years later I was at a Walmart in Elijay, Georgia and out in the parking lot was "the banjo boy " playing his banjo in the parking lot. He was a native of the area and his name is Billy Redden. I believe he may have been in a few more films but he was working at Walmart the last time I saw him.

Took the same (I imagine) trip on the river.

This is a song I enjoy. Wish a lot of this country could take this to heart...

Met those guys a few times. Believe they started off just north of Atlanta.
There used to be a sign on Hwy 78 leading to Athens that I would take to UGA football games (had season tix for a few years), and on the side of the road was a large sign saying Confederate Railroad. Not a billboard by a sign company, but a very large sign. Always assumed they, or a friend put it there. Maybe used to play at the bars up in Athens.

If the D, gets tired of me doing this just let me know

Squash Casserole
Sugar
6 Cups squash- I usually use about 4 large or 6 smaller ones, depends on how much we want to make
1 Large onion
Liquid smoke-optional
3- large tablespoons of sour cream
1/2- can cream of mushroom soup
Shredded cheese- What ever kind you like, mild cheddar. We have been using Velveeta, like it better now
Ritz crackers, We like the Kroger brand best

Cook the squash, onions until tender, drain water, let cool some

Mix sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and some shredded cheese to the squash and onions, add a little smoke if you want and add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar

Place mixture in a baking dish, add a layer of shredded cheese on top

Place crushed Ritz crackers on top of mixture completely covering the squash mixture
Place several pats of butter on top of Ritz crackers

Bake in oven @ 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. I know every oven cooks different this is about how long it takes in ours. Enjoy.

I edited it before you pointed it out. But what do you have against babpipers?

My Tanker Buddy strikes again.... (Thanks Mike D.)

Someone had written in a bathroom stall, "I like grils." Someone came along and crossed out "grils" and wrote "girls" instead. The next person then wrote, "What do you have against us grils?"

I remember this from a White Castle stall at 7th & Broadway:
Here I sit broken hearted . . .
Paid my dime and only farted.

We had a number of posts a few weeks ago about Lake Mead. Saw this just now....

Couple weeks ago we were talking about varmints in the garden. We've had ground hogs on this property for at least 50 years. Guess they don't move around much and it's a generational thing. So far, they've never got in our veggie garden. It's in one field and the ground hogs are in another....so maybe when they come out to eat they don't travel very far.
A few years ago one was getting very close to the back yard...so I nailed him with my high powered pellet gun.
Heard a thud...he fell down...was motionless for about a minute...then got up and made a bee line for one of his tunnel holes. Don't know how smart they are, but the other 1 or 2 must have got the message from him 'cause I didn't see any for about 6 months. And now they don't even get close.

Rabbit is good stuff. Family tradition along with squirrel, squab and of course . . . fish. Music question . Do you know a Portland carpenter/bluegrass musician named Chetty? He was raised in Portland among my Dad's bestest of friends for some 70 years.

I have read that the ground hog can/will travel up to two miles from their den feeding.......
Plant some sweet potatoes and stand back......my method of trapping ensures that they never travel that far to feed again......I have spotted several in just the last three weeks as I am driving down our street........I have a Gameo 1300 which will put them down with a head shot........I prefer trapping them.....I don't have to wonder if I winged them........

With all of these great recipes I am reminded June is the last month for fresh garden tomatoes down here. For three months we will not have any then in October they will produce until next July. So it might be time to have a good old fashioned tomato pie. If you know how to make them it sure hits the spot. We always serve them with some type of pork. Bacon and pork chops are especially good with tomato pie.

Tomato Pie

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• 2 Prepare a pie crust or you can buy pie crusts at Publix ready to go
• 3 Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
• 4 Layer sliced tomatoes on baked crust. Sprinkle with green onions and basil, and season with salt and pepper.
• 5 Mix together Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and mayonnaise in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture over tomatoes.
• 6 Bake until edges are lightly browned and cheese mixture is melted and bubbly, 40 to 50 minutes.
• We also fry up bacon and crumble then sprinkle over the pie. And if you are really hungry fry up a mess of pork chops and a pan of biscuits with gravy.

Nothing much better than a fresh tomato sandwich on light bread with mayo, and a decent sprinkle of black pepper, I like crackers in between the bread too, to give it some crunch but I can do without the crackers. Especially the first sandwich, just the light bread, tomato, and mayo... Best there ever was good...

I think when it all boils down, a fresh picked tomato, bacon and lettuce sandwich is my favorite sandwich on earth. Sometime my wife makes a platter of them for supper. Fast, easy and just goooood eating

I agree about the simple life. My favorite summer meal with fresh picked tomatoes and basil is Caprese salad. One of the many reasons that I grow both.

That looks damn good 82. Back in 1999, during the Kosovo crisis, I lived in Macedonia, in the capital of Skopje, while slipping in and out of Kosovo.

They made a real simple salad there with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers and feta cheese that was delicious.
Here's a simple recipe I found on line, but it all comes down to really fresh ingredients and the execution...
