| Cracker I did take my walk but I had to wait until afternoon so as not to have to wear my flippers. A friend of mine in Hickory has had 8 inches of rain this week 3.5 of it came last night and it was still pouring this morning when she emailed me. We got a 1/4 of an inch today. Took my three dogs so didn't see a lot of wild life. Spent a lot of time on the side of the road holding collars so they wouldn't get run over. It was a nice afternoon though. Ground hogs are not the smartest of wildlife though as evidenced by the number of bodies strewn along the highway or maybe they have a high suicide rate.

I wonder if there is anyone else on this forum who is gonna be affected by this latest idiotic school board notion.... If there is, please let me know and we'll get a Northern forum started so I can vent about it. I wondered about this, Crackah! So your kids aren't grandfathered in at NW? Will your oldest graduate from there but the younger ones will go to Northern? I sure am glad you wore your duct tape hat... You have to watch out for all that propaganda flying around.... Make sure your hat is sealed good and tight!!
You guys just crack me up!!!! Am using a different browser so I cannot do my hearts on this post  .... Will make up for it next time. This one lets me post more easily, but I don't have my hearts!

It's all the Junk the groundhogs are watching on the woodland TV.... OR Maybe they don't have cable....either way, it depresses 'em I guess...
OR maybe they've just realized that they can't chuck wood and will never be able to answer the age old question: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood??
BTW in case some of you weren't aware... woodchuck = groundhog= scientific name Marmota monax which = rodent in scientific-ese.

I don't know who's grandfathered where Macca and I guess it all depends on when they open the new high school. If they use shoddy workmanship and materials to rush the opening then it's possible that my high schooler could go to Northern also. Maybe she'll have a choice. Younger ones will all go to Northern.
I'm a Viking born and raised so this is quite difficult for me. Purple (bllue ) Silver and Black. Who ever heard of such colors. UGH! Red and White baby!!!

Friday I drove across the border into Canada, the customs lady was pleasant, wished me a pleasant day.
Today I drove back into the USA. Waited in a traffic jam one hour long. Got a rude interrogation from a TSA agent who must think all cars have drugs in them. What an idiot !!
Anybody who is travelling internationally beware, and don't take chances on not declaring anything you bring back. The current crackdown due to the incident last week is intense.

Ban on transportin' liquids? Me an the General Lee's heard that'n before. Hee hee!
Don't mention at the checkpoint that you're from Summerfield if'n you can he'p it, Steve. They might think you're tryin' to smuggle aliens across the border an' give you a harder time. Come to think on it, you reckon they got any aliens in Canady?
I reckon it's got to be frustratin'. Hang in thar, Steve.

If you're referring to aliens from other countries, Canada is full of them. Indians, Asians, Hindu, Mexican, German, you name it, they're up here. Oh Yeah, and don't forget the Amish. Saw plenty of horse & buggies running around the country roads yesterday.
You can tell the ones raised in Canada, they throw the "eh" in at the end of the sentences.
If you're talking about aliens from other planets, I can't speak to that, although they would blend right in.

Well, ain't no squash turned up at the back door lately fer trainin', so I figgered I'd go out yonder an' check on thangs. Long story short, it looks like the squash turned renegade durin' that full moon a few nights back an' made off with my money tree. Judgin' from the signs in the dirt, the money tree put up a good fight but was out-numbered. Pappy hollered fer Calhoun the Wonder Dog an' set off a-trackin' 'em. The trail led off down yonder toward the woods, but it ended thar as they took to the trees. Me an' Calhoun spread out in a broad search pattern plumb to the creek to see if they come down anywhar fer water, but, nuthin'.
I feel sorry fer my poor money tree, but I'm glad to be shut o' that loony squash bunch. Me an' Calhoun figger the kudzu an' muscadine vines that live down yonder in the woods know more about it than they're sayin'. We'll see, I reckon.
