We started binging on Viking. It is pretty good.And just what shows kept you awake that long?
I have finished packing. Ken is not sure how long we will stay and told me to just take a week's worth so that is what I did. I don't care how long we stay but I just need to know so I can take enough daily meds and vape supplies.
The weather looks like it is going to be good but Ken still does not want to take the bike. I would in a heartbeat but its okay. This is my 5th trip to TN in 113 days that I have known Ken. Every time I go, I like that state more. We are not planning to go to Chattanooga so I will not be seeing his family. We are going to where he lives at that beautiful place on the Duck River. It is in Hurricane Mills which is 70 miles from Nashville. That is probably more information than you wanted to know. Sorry.
Going to watch a little TV and try to get to bed earlier tonight since we are leaving early. Hope everyone sleeps well and has a great rest of the week.

Morning, all.
Woke an hour early, or Saturday's usual.... dang time change.
Aha. Think I've seen promos for that.
Have a great trip!

We did a family vacation in TN. It was a beautiful state and the people were all so friendly. We went by a town I said to Janet ... this is where I want to retire ... wouldn't it be cool to tell people we lived in Buck Snort, TN,I have finished packing.

I've spent a goodly part of my life in Nashville / Memphis and the surrounding areas .. still have good friends down there .. quite a few folks in my neck of the woods have moved down there, for various reasons, although Nashville has gotten fairly expensive ..
Well, out this side of the country, we have
Humptulips, WA.
No, I don't think I could live in that town.
And no again.

When we first moved to western WA, waaaaaay back, we did have to go there. Didn't see any tulip fields (most of those are north of Seattle, Humptulips far south and some west), I think they got tired of the tourists
Bit of trivia:
Humptulips is a Salish word, named as such by the Chehalis Tribe a few thousands years ago. The word and name Humptulips means “Hard to Pole.” This term refers to the difficulty in traveling the river by boat.

One of my favs is the city of Sequim which newcomers always pronounce incorrectly along with Puyallup. If I hear Poeyloop once more I shall scream.
While there is certainly undeniable justification to the Israeli response to the Hamas terrorist attack, it makes it no less heartbreaking to see the unfolding of the refugee crisis that is currently taking place ..
It seems to me, Israel is taking a blanket approach as it relates to what borders on outright murder of folks that neither asked for, nor contributed to the original attack .. Israel cloaks that in phrases like 'collateral damage', 'unfortunate casualties of War', etc ..
The sheer devastation shown on the news reels harkens back to the bombing of Dresden and other European cites during WWII .. those newly created refugees will have little to nothing to come back to when this conflict ends up getting resolved, and that makes them as much a victim as anyone .. not to mention the loss of family members and friends ..
This type of scenario does absolutely nothing to win friends and influence people .. in fact, it creates the opposite effect ..
As we approach Veterans Day, it has given me pause to think back to the days when I watched newly created homeless people wandering down roads with no idea what was next .. that the simple idea of having shelter, food and water was ripped from them and they had no place to turn ..
This has been the story, repeated through the pages of Time in so, so many instances ..
I guess I gave up a long time ago on the World coming to its senses .. we can't even seem to come to our senses right here in America ..
The roots of the Jewish State and the Muslim theology run deep and go back a ways .. I just hope that this latest conflict is not the tinder that lights the fuse that then ends up in blazing flames ..
We tend to insulate ourselves, thinking that things like this are far away and beyond what we want to ponder in our everyday lives .. but, it just is not so ..
Find the next thing to watch on TV, have a nice meal, enjoy the comforts that we have become accustomed to .. but at least, leave a part of your Heart open to knowing just how good we have it .. because there are plenty, very much plenty, of those that no longer have such luxury, through no fault of their own

Ok, I think Lancaster County, PA, home of the Amish is the winner for town names. If you go South West from Blue Ball you'll get to Bird in Hand. Then continure East and you'll be in Intercourse. If that's not enough travel South West again and you'll end up in Paradise. (I kid you not, got to hand it to those Amish!).
