I live in beautiful north Georgia, east of the sun and west of the moon, comfortably north of the gnat line, and not far from the great and terrible city of Atlanta, which daily becomes more and more like John F. Kennedy's description of Washington, D.C., "a combination of southern efficiency and northern charm."rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-56454825633860802552016-11-14T14:48:59.051-05:002016-11-14T14:48:59.051-05:00“Alabamistan”…I guess that would translate into Or...“Alabamistan”…I guess that would translate into Oregonistan here, but that doesn’t have as good a ring as Alabamistan, plus it comes uncomfortably close to Orgasmistan.

As for politics I keep well out of it. All I can say is that for those who say that Trump (of Hebridean extraction I regret to say) is a US matter and that the rest of the world should mind its own business the leader of the most powerful nation in the world (for a short while anyway until China succeeds to the title) is our business: he has his finger on all the buttons.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-25579002155084603222016-10-17T12:49:55.190-04:002016-10-17T12:49:55.190-04:00"As it will be my first attempt in nine years...

And looking forward to it too for that matter. <br /><br />Love the old photos, I have quite a collection mysself that span back to the early 1900's of our family, scanned them all into the computer too, so at least there's a copy of them somewhere for the future.
