[Tennessee Conservative]

I’m in Athens, between Knoxville and Chattanooga. We’re getting good rains today. I woke up to thunder, lightening, and a heavy rain. :-)

Yea I know the area. I used to go to Sweetwater to the flea market a lot. Not the same since the fire though. I also used to pick up newspaper rolls at Bowater to haul up to places like New Jersey.

We got rain last night and it looks good according to the forecast to get more the rest of the week. I sure hope so. I live in Anderson County near Norris back in the woods so to speak. Dry woods to this extreme make me nervous.

I do wonder if Lonsdale Ham is now a racist term also? LOL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_sandwich I’ve called it that because my dad who grew up there called it that. It was all they could afford. Real ham was a luxury.

Athens, as in the “Battle of Athens Tennessee” of course. I just read about it again the other day — an article at American Heritage. Maybe you have some other links too?
