Innocent Blogging Fun

Hey Cracker, let’s do it. If I could own a red suit of that caliber, I would die a happy woman. A flat top would not suit me at all though.

Feel Good Friday W/No Show Jones

Feeling all Possumy today.

What’s The Point?

The whole Willie Herenton saga continues to be interesting as I sit on the outside looking in. Steve Ross has a post on the soap opera that Herenton is currently starring in and I think he’s spot on with his analysis. I haven’t written about Herenton’s primary challenge, or any of the on goings here in read more..

There’s A Song About It

Summer really isn’t my bag. I don’t like being hot, July always makes me a bit crabby due to the sweat factor and I have to shave my legs so much that they itch because I like wearing shorts. No one wants to see a soul patch on anyone’s ankles, I assure you. With the addition of read more..

My Granddad

You may be wondering what this photo is all about. I will tell you. That handsome devil in the middle is my grandfather. This picture was sent to me this morning and I honestly can’t stop grinning. I’ve never seen it before. My grandfather was just about the greatest guy ever. He loved Homer and I read more..

The Goodyear Buyout

Editor Bates has a story up this morning about Goodyear buyouts set for this week after months of negotiations. Goodyear-Union City is saying good-bye Wednesday to about 550 associates whose service to the company represents 14,300 collective years of experience. Those words were issued in a recent UC Today, a company newsletter published by the Goodyear Tire read more..

Focusing On The Issues

Brad Watkins writes: Let me be frank, Candidates are NOT your friends. They are not your family,your saviors or your messiahs, they are not perfect beings nor are the perfect extensions of your political beliefs. They are however, people of ambition, talent and skill who are all applying for job. He’s right. I’ve often talked about how read more..

Annoying Autobiographical Pause #667

So I did the unemployment filing thing on the ‘tubes this morning. Any time I have any dealings with the government or institutions like banks, I sort of wig out. Homer said this morning that I’m the weirdest person she’s ever met when it comes to things giving me the wiggums. I guess that’s true. She read more..

Waiting For The Sun To Go Down

As I just started watching True Blood (although I’ve read several of Charlaine Harris’ books), I did what anyone would do. I started dicking around on YouTube. A few comments on True Blood, the folks in that show other than the vamps sorta look like people in Hoots. Second of all, any man that can look that read more..

An Old Dog In A Ditch

“I found that old dog in a ditch,” Mr. Joe said. “He was a good old dog. Best dog I ever had.” I’d heard the story before. Mr. Joe is an older man in Hoots who fought proudly as a fireman for years. Cancer tried to give him a run but he’s beat it thus far read more..

Dead Towns And Cemeteries

It’s easy to find joy in the grasp of what appears to be dying. You have to look, but it’s there. I return to the ghosts of my childhood which Squirrel Queen and I shared with Aunt B. on Saturday, as we not only went to cemeteries but to towns with empty building where once read more..

Past Forward

So, I’m going cemetery hopping today, which is a bit like going on a pub crawl but then again, not at all.  There might also be a pub crawl. One never knows. We are having guests in Hoots as Aunt B. is coming up to go to Camp Beauregard in Water Valley, Ky which is about 30 read more..
