As the crow flies, Belle Meade is only about 50 miles from Carthage, in reality it is light years away. Belle Meade is an old money, established enclave located within the city limits of Nashville. The Belle Meade Police Dept has been known to run errands for residents during peak party seasons and more often than not becomes a taxi service for misbehaving teens on weekends. The Gore kids will have a village "sitting" service. I wonder if their old tenants, the Mayberrys, will be invited to the housewarming ? Nashville new home for Gores. Couple buys $2.3M house in Belle Meade
Gee, do ya think this means they're gonna stop writing so many of those fawning, puff pieces about the President ? Last I heard Canada is the host nation, not the U.S. If they've come unglued over just 3 days in the cool Canadian Rockies they're gonna be some kinda crazy after spending the entire month of August in sweltering Crawford.
BTW, I had seen some of yesterday's posts re: the 9th Circus Court. I went to their web site, and they show 45 judges, but didn't indicate whether they were active or not. Sometimes this court makes good decisions, but so much depends on which judges are hearing the case. I have actually sat in on one of their reviews, and it was fascinating. They made a good ruling on the case - it was a case regarding the Clean Water Act, and ruled against the radical environmental group. I could almost see which way the ruling would go based on the judges' questions, although I've heard it said by experienced lawyers that that often isn't an indication of which way they would rule.
Another glorious day here, I have done a load of washing and it is dry and ironed already!
Catriona left with her father and his family this morning to go and see the yacht he bought at Easter time. It is berthed over on the west coast. They will stay tonight and return home tomorrow.

Maybe the doctors will be getting Cynthia McKinney off his back.

* A huge crowd, a caravan of cars, and the Salmon band welcomed Jackie Cook home from overseas Monday afternoon. He came in on the stage from the south and is on a thirty-day furlough from the Army. Jackie was badly injured in Manila the day before the war started.
70 Years Ago - 1932
* Notice has been received that a carload of flour will be shipped from St. Anthony for distribution to the needy of Lemhi county. This will probably arrive sometime this following week. This flour is to be distributed to individuals and families WHO ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN FLOUR FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE. In other words, it is not to be distributed indiscriminately to those who are simply hard up (for we are all hard up) but those who are justly entitled to assistnce at public expense.
*The most sensational gold discovery in many years is that made last week by George Martin and Charlie Pine, on the slope of Haystack butte, north of Leesburg.
80 Years Ago - 1922
*The flow of the Salmon river reached its peak on Thursday and has receded since. At no stage of this high water has there been any damage to the river bridges, as far as reported. The dam forming the swimming pool at Island Park has stood the test undamaged.
* A letter form A.C. Cherry tells of the recent robbery of his home in Weiser of every article of his own clothing except what he wore, besides a valuable shot gun and some articles from Mrs. Cherry's wardrobe.
90 Years Ago - 1912
* Monday morning Frank Wilkie, who was working on the Benedict irrigating ditch, secured a 2-ounce bottle of laudanum, to the use of which, for pain, either real or imaginary, he was addicted, and Tuesday afternoon was prostrated from the effect of the drug, having in a very few hours swallowed the entire contents of the bottle. Medical aid was summoned and the usual remedies in such cases were resorted to. Frank Wilkie born in Troy, N.Y., 50 years ago, died at Benedict's ranch near Junction, Idaho, at 11 o'clock, night of Wednesday, June 12. A bottle of laudanum, whether taken with suicidal intent or otherwise, concluded the life story of our old Frank who had been an invalid for a year or more.
100 years Ago - 1902
* A post office has been established at Gilmore, Lemhi county, Idaho, with Hattie Grooms as postmistress.
* Warm Springs, a tributary of Loon creek is the scene of the latest discovery, a ten foot vein of free gold ore has been discovered by Colorado prospectors which assays $12 per ton. A number of men are going into the district.
* Relatives of B.A. Whittier, whose body was found in the river last week, have sent for a positive identification of the body in order to get the life insurance. The necessary proofs were sent.
110 Years Ago - 1892
* The post office at Fort Lemhi has been discontinued. A petition has been forwarded to Senator Shoup asking him to have an office established at the 17-Mile House with D.J. Kenney as postmaster.
* The thermometer has been roosting up in the nineties for the past three days.
* Cheap lodgings can be secured at A.A. Smith's on Terrace street. Neatly kept rooms and clean beds - 25 cents per night.
* J.A. Atkins, our obliging postmaster, is out in the mountains mining between mail days.
I thought the story about the flour was a hoot as well as the laudanum.
The next one has a bear story, loddy....:) Til next time, au revoir, adios, hasta la vista...goodbye.
