I have always been a big George Jones fan. I guess I have pretty much all of his good stuff in my collection.(not that anyone needs a "collection" with everything being streamed these days). This song was one of my favorites, along with Window Up Above. I love the wisdom in your buddy's observation.

Window Up Above may be my favorite of George Jones. But he had so many I could change my mind.

But that song would make my blood boil if I put myself in that man's position. I am afraid instead of saying "I hope you the best with your new love", I may have reached for my .44. God forbid.

That man had a way of bringing real life into a song and stir your soul. Plain and simple he was a Giant and one of the all time greats. He was true country.

Great story Sawnee. I’m surprised to hear George was a drinking man. Maybe he was just looking out for Tammy.

Drinking man? George Jones. LOL

I guess you know the story of his being pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol on his riding lawnmower, drunk as a skunk.

As the story goes George would get stoned and take off in his car or truck. So Tammy hid all of the keys to his vehicle. Once when he was drunk he just got on his riding lawnmower and headed down Interstate-4. Can you imagine the State Trooper when he realized it was the Possum.

Did Matthew have gastric bypass or a similar procedure done about 12-15 years ago....or did he lose all that weight, and keep it off, via diet?

That boy was big one day and skinny the next.

I do not know first hand but there had to be a scalpel involved...

Hey D-Ler's. I've been busy dealing with those 👽👽👽. Anyway, just wanted to post a pic from the trip my wife and I took to Glacier NP. I'll post a few more when I get them loaded up.

Here's another image. It was was cloudy and a bit rainy most of the time we were ther...but the clouds made for some interesting images.

This was a Sculpture made by the Blackfeet and located just a mile or so from the US/CA border.. It was made from scrap metal.

Awesome. It appears y'all had a great trip.

We did!

They're too busy concentrating on Founding Father statues right now.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

I liked Cpt. Kangaroo pretty good and Mr. Green Jeans...

Thanks was a good show. I remember they had muppet called Gary Gnu who would do the news.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Nah, they are nearly fully funded by China...aka U.S. dollars that are laundered. Not going out of business soon. President Trump was denting that laundering operation... Bigly. Now it is back in full swing. All the dough they can print, and a bow to boot.

The laugh if there is a laugh in this situation is these Network buffoons' will be the first ones destroyed once these Networks get what they want.... Too stupid to even realize it. No idea they hate the very freedom that allows them to destroy themselves and everything they touch...

Another thing they don't realize, is if the parents tune out a sport, the children will most likely grow up with no interest in it.

Werner Klemperer. Forgot that one.

14 cameos during Bat Rope climbs. Classic stuff.

We had clear skies the day we arrived and the day we left. This was from the East Lodge.

Many years ago, I went to Detroit to visit my ex wife's folks. We crossed over to Windsor and caught a train to Niagara Falls. It was about 8 hours as I recall. You see so much scenery on a train that you can't see in a car. Btw, if you ever go to the falls, you have to ride The Maid of the Mist.

 

[*CatinIL*]

I've got more images from our trip but I think you folks get the idea. GNP is a GREAT park. Now that we've been there we will definitely go back. We did get to see a Momma grizzly with two of her cubs. The cubs were chasing each other in a tree and momma bear was trying to keep them in line!

 

[starchief5]

So they paid for a misspelled paint job?

I'm sure he painted that himself while he was drunk.

Man that brings back some great memories. Thanks Austin!

Great pics! Your trip was obviously a success.

The maid of the mist takes you as close to the falls as you would sensibly want to be. i always tell anyone who’s thinking about going you have to ride the mm.

Better than going over in a barrel.

Going by my faulty memory, but I think they said when someone goes over the Falls, they always pop up so many hours (something like 2 or 3 days) later at a specific spot down stream.

One of the little touches they used to do back in the day. At the old front door of our house (circa 1857) there's something similar carved in the old/original hardwood floor pointing due South.

 

[berniecarbo]

Down stream a bit from the Falls the canyon narrows, creating a tremendous amount of water in a relatively small space. That causes a white water scenario that is almost as amazing as the Falls. Back in the seventies, they tried to set up a jet boat for white water rafting. Trial runs went poorly and the idea was abandoned. At a point where the white water ends and the river turns is a huge whirlpool.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F in North Austin. Today's high expected at 99°F.

I'll admit I'm keeping up with the Olympics. Perhaps not watching, but keeping up. Love it when amateur Americans, like Will Shaner, win gold for the USA. NBA and USWNT can kiss my you know what.

Monday, Monday....

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Good morning from the Buckeye State. High 60s out now to begin the day and feels nice...but getting up to about 90 so it will be a hot one. Not as hot as Austin, but hot still.

Love it when amateur Americans, like Will Shaner, win gold for the USA. NBA and USWNT can kiss my you know what.

It's a shame that the true America loving athletes get/got caught up in all this crap. Train and work all your life...love your country....perhaps dream as a kid growing up of winning gold and wrapping yourself in an American flag as you celebrate....to have it overshadowed by these morons...and nobody/few of your fellow citizens watching because of the actions of idiots.

Y'all have a good day.

Think I'll have one of those here in a few...without the 'milk' and without the 'shake'.

Thank you for the spectacular photos of your trip. Beautiful does not adequately describe them. We visited Alaska in May of 2015 and would love to return.

Me too Sir... though I wouldn't mind the shake and the milk....too...(The same, but different...)

Oh,

Start this morning with a prayer, end this day with a prayer, think through your praying all day long. Yeah pray without ceasing. (Still working on that too and I wish I had that answer but I don't...yet.) In the interim I will try focusing on God as much as I can and keep him on my mind all I can during my day.

May keep me from yelling at a passing driver that didn't hear me anyway but my Darling did...(Ouch) (It's the little things.)

Yeah a day in the life of a sinner saved by grace...

God Bless you all...

Was that Momma Grizz wearing lipstick?

Where is Ole SP lately? I read that her and her husband was having some trouble. I hope they got it worked out.

Good Monday morning

The temperature is 71° at the present and our high should reach 89° by midafternoon. We will have plenty of sunshine and a rain chance of 15%. Typical summer day.

After church yesterday we took in the beach and enjoyed a nice Sunday sunset. I noticed 11 California tags (car)s on our roads yesterday which is highly unusual. It is a long way for them to drive to the beach but I doubt they came down for vacation. Chances are they are scouting out a place to relocate.

I see where Disney personnel in California recently demanded a transfer to Florida. These are 2,000 professional employees, not the girls running the bumper cars. Apparently Disney is building another planned city for them on their Disney property near Orlando. They are welcome if they do not vote the way they did in California.

The rumor is Disney will someday pull out of California altogether and relocate with a new park in Texas. That makes sense but Disney was one of the prime reasons California became an undesirable place to live. There is a lesson to be learned,

Have a great Monday. I read Hosea Chapter 8. A nation gone astray will reap the whirlwind

Howdy D-League. Very hot day here in the east. I'm back from a 5-mile morning walk, and drenched in sweat. The humidity is off the charts.

Looking to power through Monday, which of course is always bad enough but has become endless ZOOM meetings day for me. Ah well. I shouldn't complain. I'm thinking of hot places I've worked in my life when the idea of sitting in my air-conditioned home office would have been a fantasy and boredom would have trumped heat exhaustion.

I hope all of you are in a cool place and those who are retired are appreciating the freedom to do what you want.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 74° and overcast here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies, with a chance of a thunderstorm or stray shower and a high of 89°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.
