John Scopes the monkey man


Gasoline prices jumped sixteen cents overnight; pre-holiday gouging.

Big news: Obama and Biden buy big burgers; wait in line like normal people. They paid $6.95 each for their Hell Burgers, but I would imagine the motorcade and security involved ran into the thousands of dollars from our taxes. I can sometimes afford a Burger-King regular size burger, and at that, I get no fries and I drink bottled water I filled and carried from home. Live well, you S.O.B's.

Dom DeLuise has died at age 75. He was a fun actor to watch.

On this date in 1925, Tennessee high school teacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution. He should have been convicted and drawn and quartered for such a heinous crime, but was convicted and penalized a $100 fine instead. Our nation was saved from being overrun by atheists and monkey men.

I must get ready to go with Carolyn to Fall Branch and Boones Creek.

Wow, that is an insane jump in prices. Has not happened here as of yesterday.

Imagine the Scopes trial goin on today. What a circus that would be.

After posting the blog, I went to another gas station and they had gone up only a nickel.

Dayton is located between Knoxville and Chattanooga, and is still small town, so it would be a blast to have something like that now.
