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.Just saw where actor and Kentucky native Ned Beatty passed away. Some of his more well known roles were in the movies "Deliverance", "Superman", and "Rudy".
Ned Beatty, indelible in ‘Deliverance’ and ‘Network,’ dies at 83
The character actor also appeared in two “Superman” movies during a long, accomplished career that included theater and TV roles.www.nbcnews.com
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.

nsol53rlse AtdrunM · An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie....
Good Monday morning
Just finished Jeremiah Chapter 9.
Well we had those wonderful and welcomed thunderstorms last night. My bedroom lit up like it was high noon with the lightning flashing. We have 50% chance of more. Our temperature at present is 78° and high today should hit 86°.
I am listening to the radio man talk about gas prices around the state. Locally we can get it in the $2.60 - $2.79 range further down South in the "Blue Counties" it is over $3.00 in most gas stations. Everything is always more expensive in those blue counties. Thanks Joe and those who voted for him.

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!"

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.
Gotta get some things done this week before the summer heat arrives in July.

I'm fine, just been busy helping folks see and know. I will share soon with the fleeting evidence scattered over 4 centuries organized. Confusion only increases skepticism. Happy Flag Day and God bless.

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.

When I was at Goodfellow AFB for one of my MOS' (98C) during my AIT, the Dining facility served Rabbit. At least they told us that was what it was. It was good eating. I had it regularly.

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.
You talking about the southwest chicken or soup?
4- chicken breast boneless
2-cans cream of chicken
1-stick of butter
2-15 0z. cans chicken broth
24oz. frozen egg noodles
Thanks for posting that, marked it!
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
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.

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...

We're back from Glacier NP. The Amtrak ride was nice but just a tad bit long (Chicago/GNP)...but we enjoyed it. The weather in GNP was cloudy/rainy but we still enjoyed it. We'll head back there again at some point.
Any chance his last name would have been Barger?
