…”Sherman’s March through Georgia”…

11-04-2021

Let me say right up front “I’m by NO MEANS educated on the Case/Death of Mr. Ahmaud Arbery” in Brunswick,GA.

I can’t, for the life of me, understand what brought about this issue & the reactions of those three (3) men who are “accused of” (that legal term used until PROVEN Guilty or Innocent) of his death.

I don’t know WHY the Jury Selection turned out like it did. I don’t even want to guess. But what I do think/know is if that Trial doesn’t go the way (So) MANY want it to “Sherman’s March through Georgia” ain’t goin’ to be NOTHIN’ compared to what WILL happen throughout Georgia & other parts of our nation.

There WILL BE NO WINNERS in this Case/Situation. And trust me “The RACE BAITERS” (on both sides) are goin’ to be out in full force. Hell, “I’ll bet they’re Gearin’ Up Already”.  It ain’t goin’ to be purdy!

I just hope the authorities in The City of Brunswick, GA; The Glynn County Authorities; The GA State Police; The GA Bureau of Investigation (GBI); The FBI; The ATF Bureau; & any other Law Enforcement Bodies will be ready for WHAT EVER! They TOO had better be plannin’ how they will (try) to control What COULD BE/ IS Comin’!…”Hold ‘Em Hook”!…..BG>

…”The Sun Room”…

This mornin’, while my Contractor was cleanin’ the Windows, in The Sun Room, I walked down to where The Bass Boat is parked (in The Turn-a-Round area) durin’ this Construction Period. It usually stays in the Basement Garage but it is filled with Supplies & tools for now. I needed to drain the water standin’/puddlin’ up on the cover. All of a sudden I heard this enormous {{{{{ SPLASH ! }}}}} about 15 feet off the the Sea Wall. Actually about 35 feet from where I was standin’. After regainin’ my composure, I thought it was/might have been, a BIG STRIPER Feedin’. As it turns out it was an Osprey Feedin’! I saw in gainin’ height  flyin’ in a circle with a good size fish in it’s Talons. What a beautiful sight to see.

I made my way back up to The Deck/Sun Room to check on the cleanin’ progress. As I stood there talkin’ to my Contractor I heard that sound again…{{{{{ SPLASH ! }}}}}…and then watched The Osprey fly up & off again, with a fish in it’s Talons. And that was when I really got to appreciate “The View” from The Sun Room. Oh & “The View” has nothin’ to do with those “Ole Bitchy Women” on TV.

The windows are clean, the Contractor is gone (he & his crew ‘ll be back Tuesday). He just wanted to make it nice so we could use it this weekend. There’s still some “Paintin’ & Touch Paintin’ that needs to be done.

As I sit here Chillin’ & Enjoyin’ myself the Hummin’ Birds are buzzin’ back & forth just enhancin’ what I can see from my vantage point. About the time I expect to see ’em collide “Head On…they Break Off” just like two Jet’s in a Dog Fight! They’re fightin’ over two feeders I washed & filled this mornin’ for ’em.
Yeah…I can see we’re goin’ to really enjoy “The Sun Room” year round. Before the “Screened In Deck” was dependin’ on The Weather we were experiencin’. And for 23 1/2 years it was nice. This is much NICER!…”Hold ‘Em Hook”!…..BG>

…”He looks so Stoic!”…

08-09-21

There is a Blue Heron who seems to land on the end of our Short Pier most every mornin’. We refer to him as “Ole Pete”. He stands there facin’ East almost every mornin’. No…IT’S NOT A RELIGIOUS THING! He’s a Damn Bird! It’s as though he is waitin’ for & watchin’ The Sun Rise up over the hill & trees across the River from us before he starts his day. It’s a beautiful sight to see. He stands there so straight and tall. He looks, from my distance of just over 200 ft. away, so well groomed with every feather in it’s place. He looks so Stoic!

I am, again, enjoyin’ my mornin’ “Mug-O-Joe” sittin’ in “The Sun Room” just enjoyin’ watchin’ “Ole Pete”. Even though it, “The Sun Room”, is STILL under construction the view is so much better than it was as “A Screened In Deck” over the past 23 1/2 years. Most of the Glass is in. Yes it is still in the process of becomin’ a (Glassed in) Sun Room. We’re waitin’ on 4 more small upper Custom Cut glass panels, some minor Electrical work, a Vent-less Fireplace with a Custom Mantel & final paint. But the view, from just sittin’ here, is so much better than before. I look forward to seein’ “Ole Pete” for many years to come.

Whoa! He just broke his pose & caught his Breakfast. From here it appears to have been a Big Ole Shad. He’s now off to do what ever Herons do durin’ their day. Until tomorrow Pete!…”Hold’em Hook”…..BG>

“HAPPY FATHERS DAY”

“HAPPY FATHERS DAY”As a young Child there were things I didn’t learn at home. My Grandfather taught me to Fish & Fear him! To all of The 4th Avenue Neighborhood Fathers, Wahouma Park Coaches/Fathers, Match Box Estates Dads, Coach Jim Currier, Uncles Pete & Buddy, My Step-Father (even thru our years of turmoil) & Yes Mr. (“Mr.Jimmy”) Dickson from Cascade I want to say “THANK YOU” for Your Time, Kindness, & Leadership you all shared with me as a growin’ young Boy/Child who’s Father Passed (I was only 20 mo’s old) before I ever knew Him. You all made an impression on me in many/your own different ways. To You/Them ALL “HAPPY FATHERS DAY”…Hold ‘Em!……BG>

…”My/Our Nation – The Dead Ones are Laughin’ “…

I {{{ FEAR ! }}} For The Life Of My/Our Nation! The Nation MY Generation grew up in has already changed DRASTICALLY. Fewer & fewer respect our Flag & what it stands for. They disrespect those that have fought, died, or have been wounded through the generations for the Rights That Flag Represents. Senator Joseph McCarthy tried to warn us in The 50’s about Communism/Socialism within our Society & Government growin’ & expandin’. The U.S. Senate (at the time) shouted/voted him down by a vote 65 to 22 to condemn Senator Joseph R. McCarthy for conduct unbecoming of a senator. Many of them were coverin’ their asses or the asses of their contributors. The same thing that is happenin’ in our Congress today. Look at our Nation today…the phrase “In God We Trust” in Washington DC has little meanin’ & less each day to our Professional Politicians/Government Elected Officials. And the shame is they set the pace for Others to follow. They live by different Rules, Insurance, & Ethics…

She/Our Nation is strugglin’ against forces from within almost as hard as She struggles from other Nations tryin’ to beat us down. Our Borders are under siege. The biggest question is Which/Who Will be The One To Topple My/Our Nation first?

Hell…Invaders & Illegals are Votin’ in our Elections, every year, at a larger number than DEAD PEOPLE are. I know many States require Voter I.D.’s. I’m PROUD that My State of Alabama DOES! I know the DemocRATs/Socialists/Liberals are fightin’ this from bein’ required in MORE states. I guess because they would lose TOO many Voters. There are more VOTERS votin’ than there are Registered Voters in many Cities/Counties/States. The Live Ones are scared of this! The Dead Ones are Laughin’ about it…Can YOU hear ’em?….Hold ‘Em Hook!….BG>

… “Y’all get ready for The Fire Works & Infightin’ “…

Recently I was sittin’ out on The Deck sippin’ on my “Mug-O-Joe” almost lookin’ for the NEXT/LATEST incident of Joe Biden’s Slip/Screw ups in his addresses to/for The People. I know The MSM ain’t goin’ to report ’em but other News Agencies will!

What I was REALLY wonderin’ is “just HOW LONG the DemocRATS are goin’ to allow his ineptness to string out” before THEY make “The (Overnight) Switch” that so many are expectin’ is comin’. Like a Baseball Manager Signalin’ down to “The Bull Pen”! Because we ALL know “Ole Uncle Joe” isn’t up to the Pressures & Riggers of “The Job”. Or if they do let THIS PLAY OUT how long will it be before they “Jerk The Rug/Presidency” out from under Him for a more Suitable/Controllable Puppet/Candidate to step up as “The President”.

Now keep in mind this could only happen with the approval of The DemocRATic National Party/DNC, their Major Contributors, & Mr. Soros (of course). The Money will HAVE TO FLOW to pull this off so “These Beggers/DemocRATS/Politicians” will be doin’ what They Do Best…”SUCKIN’ Up” to those with the Deepest Pockets & Makein’ Promises they KNOW they cant’ keep!

When “Ole Hillary/Killary” Lost in 2016 it sent ’em all into {{{{{ SHOCK ! }}}}}. Hell…some of ’em even into Drugs, Alcohol, or even Mental Help & Recovery! The DemocRATS just KNEW they had That Election “In The Bag”! Well the Ole Bag lost! The MSM didn’t know what to do! They ALL tried & LOST!

Now they’ve got “Ole Uncle Joe” propped up out there embarrassin’ ’em (almost) every time someone makes the MISTAKE of allowin’ a Camera or Microphone to be put in-front of him. We all know it’s comin’. Kamala Harris (as a Talk Radio Host was discussin’ recently) is out showin’ off her New TIGHT (lookin’) Face & Bleachin’ Job (the M. Jackson Look).

It’s been mentioned that Hillary is reportedly “lettin’ Her Golden Locks Grow Out” to try & make herself more Presentable & Fit to a younger, Ahh-hahahaha, group of DemocRATS/Liberals/Socialists. Oh, and many others are beginin’ to crawl out of “The Shadows” thinkin’ they too might have an opportunity, should “Ole Uncle Joe” falter at the last minute, to get their name on “The Ticket”.

Now “Ole Joe” is slippin’ up more & more the closer The Election gets. Per The Daily Caller News Foundation, on 9-15-2020, “Democratic nominee Joe Biden called his potential White House team the “Harris-Biden” administration on Tuesday during a speaking event in Tampa, Florida”. Now that’s on tape? Doesn’t HE know that The Presidential Candidates name is usually mentioned 1st?

Now, Kamala Harris has had a “Slip of The Tongue” as well herself sayin’ “The Harris Administration”! I wonder what SHE was thinkin’?. Hum-m-m…Is “OleJoe” NOT goin’ to be around? Interestin’…don’t you think?

Y’all get ready for “The Fire Works & Infightin’ ” among-st ’em. November ain’t that far away y’all…”Hold’em Hook”!…..BG>

…”Mr. Albert”…

Today’s been “One Of Those Days”. Started out gettin’ my ole peepers dilated & The Eye Doc spyin’ deep into my eyes. Yeah, there’s work to be done in there. Got home & settled in for the day. Then…

 

I received some sad news about an Ole Customer, no Ole Friend, NO Ole Fatherly Image. He was “One Of The Greatest Generation”! I was fortunate enough to spend time in his shadow & to learn from his experiences. We exchanged ideas, knowledge, & secrets together. Thru the yrs he shared his wisdom with me as well. And surprisingly much of it stuck! In the end it was that Damned COVID 19 Virus that took him from this world. I know he is now with “Our Lord & Savior”. I know his Bride (a Lady I have come to Love thru the yrs as well), his two (2) Sons & their families will miss the Leadership & Love he gave his family. May The Spirit Of Our Lord & Savior be with them thru these tryin’ times.

 

“Mr. Albert”…Thank you!…”Hold’em Hook”!…..BG>

…”the Outside World around me”…

Just got thru gettin’ some lawn work completed. By that I mean I put out Three (3) Fifty (50) lb. bags of Pellet Type Fertilizer & Three Quarters (3/4’s) of a Fifty (50) lb. bag of Sun & Shade Grass Seed. I was justa slow walkin’ usin’ my small hand crank spreader. I got started, by plan/intent, just as the Rain began to Sprinkle. Now it is just a nice steady “Light Rain” fallin’.

 

I’m sittin’ up/out on The Deck just enjoyin’ the sounds of the rain comin’ down thru the trees, birds chirpin’, the slow steady drippin’ of rain water goin’ down the gutters, & an occasional {{{ SPLASH ! }}} of a Fish bustin’ the surface of the slough. Peaceful? Yeah, I guess you call it that. There ain’t much better than the smell of a Spring Rain!

 

In the last three (3) hrs I haven’t had a single thought of the Outside World around me. I mean “That Pandemic, Chinese Virus, Corona Virus, Covid-19, Chi-Com Disease” or anything else you may call it. It has really been a good escape from all of that.

 

Now I’ve got supper to get started in about an hr. from now. “Country Backbone Ribs & Rice”. Cooked together in a Big Ole Skillet. Then a nice helpin’ of Apple Sauce to top it off & it’ll leave a nice sweetness in your mouth. By the time I start my prep work & get it cooked it ‘ll be ready to eat about 5:30 p.m. Hey we’re “Sun Downers” here & like to eat early.

 

I wish y’all good health where ever you are. We’re doin’ our part by keepin’ our tired asses home unless we just REALLY need somethin’ from The Outside World. God Bless Us All…”Hold’em Hook”!…..BG>

…”The Dam Road”…

This mornin’ I made a run to the local “Pubilx” for  “The Senior’s Hour”, 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. They have it on Tuesday’s & Wednesday’s right now for us “Old Folks”! I guess it’s to keep us Old Folks from gettin’ knocked, kicked & elbowed out of  the way as ’em young, rude, me first folks drag out of bed and think the world needs to cater to ’em. Yeah, y’all know the type.  I’ll just say it was an experience…

 

The Stock levels weren’t what they normally are but I guess it’s all due to the times we’re facin’. You know…”That Chinese Virus” that is sweepin’ our nation. I guess we’re a bit luckier here in a Small Rural Town, “The Big Pell”, than folks livin’ in larger Cities. Life here is usually a little more laid back than in The Big City like say “The Ham, Monkey Town, Rocket City, or The City by The Bay”. Folks here are experiencein’ the same effects as folks do in the Big Cities but the over all affects don’t appear to be as great because the scale is smaller. I mean even “Triple T’s” is affected due to folks stayin’ ta home & shelterin’ in like we’re asked to. Well at least most of us most of the time anyway.

 

I knew I was gonna be needin’ to take “Ole Big Red” out for a “fill up” today as well. So after my Publix run my Bride & I headed out to complete one other errand. We had a package that needed mailin’ to NC to her Cuz. My Bride sat in Ole Red whilst I visited the Post Man inside in the  Smaller Post office here in “The Big Pell” as we have a Big ‘un as well. It was just him & me there. No touchin’ & we kept our 6 ft. spacin’.

 

Leavin’ out the parkin’ lot from the Post office, like I said, I needed to get “Ole Big Red” a “fill up”.  We kinda used the erran runnin’ as an excuse to get my Bride out of the house for a while so we made a BIG circle home. We headed south of “The Big Pell ” for Gas. Word had it Gas, Regular Unleaded, was $1.299 per gallon down on “The Dam Road”! NO really that’s the name of the damn road. Cause it goes to The Dam! Anyway it was in fact $1.29.9 per gal Cash or Credit & they had two ladies there, with gloves on, to pump it for ya. Back in town gas is between $1.73.9 & $1.83.9 per gal. Now I bought 18.5 gals there & saved an average of $0.50 per gal. So I just pocketed $9.25 on our little excursion. NOT BAD! Hell, now I could afford that Breakfast Wrap my Bride was awantin’. So off we went back up the far side of the Lake/River to town to the Ole Chick-Fillet. They’re the “Yard Bird” specialist for sure.

 

After a big ole cross country circle we arrived back to home with out Infectin’ anyone or by bein’ infected by anyone. That damned Ole Chinese Virus ain’t got nothin’ on us (yet)!…”Hold’em Hook”!…..BG>

…”Peanut Butter & Crackers”…

My Bride & I are at home & doin’ our part to “Self Quarantine” here in “The Big Pell” as the Local, County, State, & Federal Governin’ Bodies have requested of us. Hopefully the less exposure we have the better our chances are of NOT gettin’ that “Damn Chinese Virus”!

Bein’ tuned in to the News & Social media naturally we’re exposed to all kinds of things just as fillers to brainwash you with reasons to stay home. Many are aimed at Moms in order to keep their children occupied. And while bein’ occupied you have to keep ’em fed with Snacks between meal times. Yes I know Manufacturers are jumpin’ on board to get their Name Brands in front of Ole Mom.

 

I’ve seen Two (2) specifically for Peanut Butter & Crackers. Both Ritz & Club House Crackers. It took me back to my childhood when my Mother or Grandmother would fix my brother & me some. I mean what’s not to like bout Peanut Butter & Crackers?

 

Now leave it children to notice the difference of offerin’s as they visited other houses in the neighborhood. I noticed the other Moms in the neighborhood offered up different Crackers than we had at home. AND they taste better! Now it don’t take a high I.Q. to notice the difference in Ritz Crackers, Club Crackers, & Store Brand “Saltine Crackers”. Then later when you asked at home why we NEVER had “The Good Tastin’ Crackers” we were told to “HUSH! & be thankful for what you got”. Now NO CHILD age ten (10) yrs old or younger NEVER understood that phrase! You tell me you did & I’ll say you’re lyin’! Cause you don’t want to admit your folks just couldn’t afford any better. Nothin’ to be ashamed of. Many of us were like that! Hell, children don’t know the difference until THEY’RE TOLD the difference.

 

Let me just say “Thank You” Mother & Mama for always havin’ somethin’ for us. Lookin’ back as an (Older) Adult I can really appreciate better where I came from…”Hold ‘Em HooK”!…..BG>
