They seem to rejoice in the news that this offending spectacle will go the way of other quaint American vestiges, like county fairs and turkey shoots, while simultaneously suggesting that the sport has become too flashy for its own good.

Thems fightin words here down river from Deliverence!!! We still have County Fairs and Turkey Shoots...

I’ll get grandson’s county fair “attack pig” and we’ll see just how quaint THAT is!

They’ll be praying for “Deliverance”. Oh wait, they’d probably like that.

I was talking to someone here over the weekend discussing that Goodyear must be suffering the same downturn as every other company. Let's hear it for TOYO TIRES

That's the best news of all. Because I have some physical disabilities it is extremely difficult for me to sit in one position all day and work. When I am able to do these jobs from home I can work for a couple of hours and then get up and go work in the garden for a half hour or so and get movement in. It's much better for me physially to be able to break my day up so is indeed a much better answer to prayer than those desk jobs I had been applying for.

and ours is located on the fair grounds. Try Google Earth for Redwood Acres in Eureka Ca. btw...I was ordered out of the house at gun point today and told to finish the benches in the green house. I made such a impression that I am having a vodka and orange juice to replenish my electrolytes...

ROFL... gunpoint huh? I'm thinkin' you must have lost your work ethic for the day. She was forced to return the ethic. LOL Obviously you did a good job or you wouldn't be having the electrolyte replenishment!

I have decided I need *more* shelves in my greenhouse. When I first put it up I had enough... I don't know what happened.

I not only have tomatoe seedlings now I also have jalapenos and I saw the first banana peppers peeking about the soil yesterday. Still waiting on bell peppers.

This has done a wonderful job on the citronellas and mints that I use as a little sideline money maker. I am finding my plants rooting twice as fast in the greenhouse with bottom heat under them.
