Friday is shot day.

There is so much moisture in the air today that a handful of it can produce five gallons of water when it is wrung out. Still, very little rain has fallen. Anyone know any anti-drought chants, spells, or potions you are willing to share?

Why is Egypt killing pigs because a virus is named after the animals? The pigs are more likely to catch it from humans than the other way around. They may as well call in the shamans and witch doctors while they are at it.

121 days have passed this year; there are 244 remaining. Got plans?
Happy Birthday, Judy Collins.

My progressive (snicker) city had municipal elections this week, and the city commission is still a bunch of wealthy geezers whom ought to be living in Florida. The bandy-legged old farts should be existing on a golf course around the Tampa Bay area, slow-poking along in their Buicks, Caddies, and an occasional Lexus on Tampa streets.

A few weeks back, Mark advised me via his blog to watch a tv series on PBS called Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People. Here is a link to the film trailer. The director, Ross Spears, is from here in Johnson City. The film is a four-part series with the last segment being shown last evening. The first segment showed some local people at work in our own Gray Fossil Site. It will surely air again, and when it does and if you love these hills and the people whom live here, you should give it a look. The entire series can be purchased from PBS.org for $45 on dvd. It is a great gift idea if your favorite blogger is on your "to buy for" list, and I'm sureI am he is!
