Fracking?

The blame is currently on disposal wells in northern OK. They were ordered to stop or cut waaaay back (I don't remember which) on their use earlier this year. We have had 3-4 pretty good rattles here in the last year.

While in Asheville, I visited Biltmore House, a modest little shack with 179,000 square feet of floor space, 43 bathrooms and 35 bedrooms on a little 38,000 acre lot. The lot was 125,000 acres until George Vanderbilt's widow sold 87,000 acres of it to the US Forest Service for less than $5 per acre. That 87K acres is now the Pisgah National Forest.

I traveled west 300 miles and visited Asheville for a coupla three days. A longer scenic video still has hours to go before the upload is finished. Here's a shorter one. It's a pretty area for sure.


So pretty!

Here's a view from the Back Porch at Biltmore House. I've virtually annexed it to Our Back Porch.

Now that's a view! A cup of my favorite tea, my vape and this view - I may stay here forever (well until it gets cold anyway ;))

Kay, at this point, I don't know if anyone really cares about the rallies all that much, other than to just have the bragging rights to say you went to one .. However, if I were within a reasonable drive of the Celebrity Clinton Concert Tour, I'd be hitting them .. when I was in the Concert Sound business, I always did well, financially, during an election cycle, but I don't recall ever seeing the sheer magnitude of entertainers out there for any candidate .. and my intel says they are all doing it for free .. :)

Yesterday, the weather was good and sunny, so, instead of mulching leaves, I decided to take on a job I'd been putting off all year .. the replacement and repair of some of the wood on my outdoor storage shed which had taken water and rotted .. after getting into it, of course, it was worse than I thought, so I ended up dragging out the table saw and the miter saw and spent the day at it .. needless to say, today I am hobbling along even after popping a couple Aleves .. :( .. but other than new paint, I'm done ..

I did not have the energy left to cook anything, so I decided to hit Taco Bell, which I had not been to in a while .. two words :: Apple Empanada .. it was so good I was ready to go get another .. :)

What about Ted Nugent at the Trump rally

I had the misfortune, a lot of years ago, to " be in his presence" around my home town area ... no thanks, once was enuf..and he wasn't even performing onstage...

EDIT! wait...that didn't come out right...actually, it was during deer season at a seedy local bar with lotsa other people around...I left by myself!

well...actually, i didn't...but it wasn't him:D

The (Jersey) Devil must have made you do it. Y'all prolly know this already, but Springsteen and Bon Jovi both grew up in NJ. What's kind of unusual is that both still live there most of the time, although both have upgraded their digs somewhat compared to where they grew up. :thumb:

I don't know if the legend of the Jersey Devil is well known outside of NJ. Come to think of it, it's not well known inside of NJ. Any embellishment will do as a campfire tale.
