So sorry Cord. Can’t imagine.
Prayers sent up for God’s comfort for You and Your family Cord!🙏🙏🙏
I would agree My Friend!
Is there anything good left in the city of Atlanta, GA? Can the people there do anything right?
In early September I received a bill for my truck insurance and a bill for my homeowners insurance. I paid both at the same time but the homeowners envelope was sent to their big regional office in Atlanta and the truck envelope was sent to the local agent. They were pre-addressed envelopes. The truck check cleared in a couple of days but the check sent to Atlanta. Nothing. Weeks go by and I finally call my agent who called Atlanta and was advised they were behind and everything was fine. Last week the check still had not cleared and I call the agent and he calls Atlanta and they say all is fine.
Today I get a cancellation letter from the insurance company for non payment of premium. Now I have been a customer with this company for 42 years. I have had 6 houses insured with them over those decades. And I get cancelled for doing the right thing. Paying my premium.
So I go to the agent this afternoon and give them a check to get reinstated. They apologize and tell me how sorry they were then told me this is very common in the Atlanta office. So Atlanta can not count votes correctly and they can not process insurance renewals. BUT THEY SURE KNOW HOW TO SEND OUT A CANCELLATION NOTICE.
OK I am venting but sometimes a boy just has to vent.

Praying for you, Cord. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain of losing a grandchild.
Sorry to hear about Thelma Lou. To my knowledge Ron Howard is the only living member left. Could be others but the major characters are gone. Kind of like the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Only the ageless Betty White remains.
In honor of the ol' Mayberry gang we'll be watching The Ghost And Mr. Chicken tonight. Kind of a Halloween flick.

Last week, when we had unseasonably warm temperatures I saw the weather channel blaming it on global warming. Then I noticed that our highs were just one degree higher than the previous record, which was set in 1896. Wonder if they called it global warming back then?
“Unusual heat wave, a multi century old phenomenon”. In the words of tree hugging softies, this never happened. Like cross breeding.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family in this time of need.
Actually, Elinor Donahue, who played Ellie, the female pharmacist in the very first season of The Andy Griffith Show is still alive. She also played the oldest daughter on Father Knows Best. She was good friends with Betty Lynn.
I enjoyed it. Went with the literal response a la Drax the Destroyer.
She was the second prettiest of Andy's girlfriends IMO behind Joanna Moore, Ryan ONeal's wife and Tatum's Mom.
God's comfort to you and your family Brother Sir...no words. God's comfort to you all...
Ron's younger brother Clint played in a few episodes. Definitely not a major character but sure did The Water Boy justice...
That's right! Leon with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The guy also played in the TV series Gentle Ben back in the 60s.

My BIL and SIL (My Darlings older sister) are visiting.. We are having such a fine time. Wasted 30 years but we are having a great time. I bought a 10 pound box of King Crab legs and a few pounds of Ribeyes. Been fighting my BIL all the way where I'M paying.
Went to the shooting range today. Me and the BIL. I am the proud owner of an SKS. (My BIL built it and gave it to me. Shot about 60 rounds today along with 20 rounds with one of his pistols and 20 with one of mine. What a find 4.5 or so miles from my house. I also bought two boxes of .380 ammo for $40.00 a box. (50 round boxes). Wish I could get awf some. @awf
The shooting range has more... awf if you see this they have more. My BIL lives in Radcliff. We are driving by there again in the morning. If interested let me know. Plus tax but I know my BIL wouldn't mind meeting you in Radcliff sometime after they return home in a day or two.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and clear. Today's high expected at around 83°F.
Internet and TV outage lasted until roughly 2 pm yesterday. Cause: severed fiber-optic cable. Much of our area in North Austin had no service. Thank heavens for cell towers.
No Kentucky football this coming weekend.
. Season has been really enjoyable so far.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 44° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny by skies and a high of 72°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning, D-League!
3 days into the week and I'm already feeling like it's 4. No UK football to look forward to will do that. Makes me think about the season being over, which I dread.
Going to rewatch the UGA game and MissSt vs somebody tomorrow night to get me over the hump and distract me from all of the destruction. Been rereading Daniel. Gonna start on Jesus' revelation to John after that. A buddy of mine from years ago invited me to watch a seminar from his church, and it got me thinking. Gonna do some real fact-checking. Facebook, take notes!
I keep waiting for that Mrs Doubtfire moment when MarkZ shows up to a press conference without his Jen Psaki wig. Wonder if ABC, CNN, or Fox would even air the video?
Take care and draw closer to God! No one else saves and satisfies!

Now that's what I call cuttin the cord! Little extreme though... My cellular internet is faster than the 52Mb/s I get through my landline at times. Just can't use it near my house
Wish I could cut it here. May have to anyway whether I want to or not.
Good morning D-League.
We still have pleasant weather with 61° right now with clear skies and a nice breeze. The high will reach 82°.
I had a new well pump put in last week and the sprinklers are in need of a good cleaning to get rid of a few sand particles coming up with the water. The water is clearing up so it will work out OK. I have nine zones that I need to check out so that could take up most of my day today. There is always something to keep this old boy busy around here.
I trust all have a nice day and prayers are continuing for CORD and his family. Read Matthew 27

We're almost to 40° here, Sawnee!! Doing our best to make you more happy you're there!
AARP or AMAC? Anyone here a member of either? Was reading about both yesterday because I received correspondence in the mail yesterday about AMAC which is endorsed by Allen West.
Lord have mercy because our enemies sure won't. I would not want to be in a foxhole with any of these girly boys.

AARP has been supporting anti-constitutional candidates and measures through sizable donations. (Although there aren't many pro-constitutional candidates these days.)

Wow.
Makes me wonder
Things were a little different when I was a Drill Instructor at Knox. Our troops didn't see a girl for 8 weeks much less have one commanding them. Get that leg up in a defensive position you pussy.
Ye ole Pile Cap. I still have mine.Things were a little different when I was a Drill Instructor at Knox. Our troops didn't see a girl for 8 weeks much less have one commanding them. Get that leg up in a defensive position you pussy.
Paging @MdWIldcat55 who perhaps still works for AARP?
Wife and I are former members. I thought AARP was okay.

Still have my pile cap, too. Our OSUT ran for 12 weeks with no women. After 20 years service and three deployments, the crap got old.
When that picture was taken it was less than 5 degrees. It had been -3 overnight. I usually had on my Smokey Bear hat but this temperature would freeze your ears.
A very tragic thing happened that day in another company close by. A truck with trainees slid off of the road into the ditch. A wrecker came out and hooked up but many of the trainees got behind the truck to push and one was close to the real wheels and was killed.
It was a sad day because we had trained with that company and many in our company knew some of the troops. While I was at Knox we had two men killed in our company. One was killed in Elizabethtown in a car accident. He was a cook's helper. PFC. A second was killed on Dixie Highway coming back from Louisville. Alcohol was a factor. He was the Company Clerk. A Specialist.
If I am not too late.........I would like four boxes and I will meet him where he wants me to meet him......got the cash in my pocket....
The stretch of US 31W between Kosmosdale, KY and Ft. Knox has taken so many lives......for the most part it is not patroled by the police much and people fly........you add that to the young (mostly) men that are drinking....and heading back to the base.......the area is really bad when it is raining......I have lost three friends along that stretch of road and had a close call myself one time........
Warrior and Austin, Yes, I help edit the publications for AARP - the AARP Bulletin and the AARP Magazine. Those publications have pretty useful information on personal finance, health issues for people over 50, and some other stuff to entertain. For example, right now I'm editing an interview with Mel Brooks which is very interesting and a package of profiles of people who were impacted by Pearl Harbor, which includes an interview with one of two living survivors of the USS Arizona and also with a Japanese American in Hawaii when the attack occurred who then joined the US Army and fought in Europe. (You can read these stories and more in our upcoming December issue.) We have 40 million members.
That said, lots of people find AARP is too liberal for their tastes. For example, we strongly advocate for Social Security and Medicare to be strengthened as a life line for poorer old people. And we're for the provisions of Obamacare that guarantee older people not yet eligible for Medicare couldn't be kicked off their private insurance.
I don't know much about that other group, AMAC, except that it bills itself as a conservative alternative to AARP. I think it is tiny relative to AARP, but it may be growing.
It doesn't hurt my feelings when people criticize AARP for being too liberal, or if they find the other group more in tune with their values. I'm comfortable that what I'm doing is helping educate and inform tens of millions of people every month.
One point I will make -- Some people falsely circulate the story that AARP endorsed Obama or donated money to Democrats or lobbied for Democrats. That is totally false. Under federal law, AARP is a non-partisan, non-political organization, and would be severely sanctioned for any violation of that status. The only political stuff we do is voter education. For example, I interviewed both Trump and Biden last summer. Both were happy to talk with us. I asked them the same questions and we reprinted their answers verbatim. Our lawyers went over ever syllable to make sure the interviews were fair and balanced.
So, good luck deciding which group, if either, fits you.

And they never address the increasing size of the Antarctic ice cap.
I am close to a global warming denier. We are 10,000 years out from an ice age. We got out of the "little" ice age at the end of the 18th Century after the Medieval Warming Period stopped and the cold moved in. Folks in Europe were starving because crops failed for decades. So I don't believe much of what I here and read.
Did I just say that I don't believe much of what I hear and read. The way that they extrapolate average temperatures from centuries before there was a way to even measure temperatures is questionable at best and simply stupid at worse. Then they measure carbon dioxide percentages from gas trapped in ice is questionable also. It would be good science to get an approximation; however, they break it down to ppm. It is a guess at best, but they tend to hang their hat on it being exact when they are estimates at best.
And now we are willing to wreck our economy and lives on what is at best assumptions.
