Noticing on the Weather Channel, summer is over for you Northern folks. Hope your summer was a good one. My planting season is just getting started.

All the best this first Fall weekend DRTV. Thought I would post one of my favorite summer tunes.





Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Like most good songs there's a remake.

""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Lets see, in 1972, I was 15 and taking driver education that summer.

Tommy, you were still around zero, maybe 1!

 ;D ;D ;D

Good tune regardless!

I was 5 and going to Matheson Hammock Park, just outside Coconut Grove, in South Miami with my Mom, when you didn't have to know Spanish. :-\

I still have this on vinyl...... :P

The truly younger one's won't understand. ;)

Had several things planned for today, but went with plan "B".  Hooked up the BushHog and went chopping weeds along the drainage ditch, rode a few rounds in the combine with the renters, visited with the rest of the renting family, and dug potatoes in the garden.  Fall is here!  And, the corn crop on mother-in-law's land is very very very good. 

It has been a tough crop year here, like many other areas of the nation, but this corn is only showing a 15% dip from recent highs.  Of course m-i-l's land represents abut 8% of their corn ground, but it has improved their spirits for the week.

Happy planting twyacht!  I hope your growing season goes better than ours.

It got up to 80 today so it still feels like summer. I already mowed down all my wildflowers wich I normally do in late fall. They were petering out anyway so they're all gone and I didn't save any seeds this time. Now I have to trim my roses which I'm not looking forward to.

Certainly not on any scale comparable to yours, but just a fair sized back yard garden that gets better every season.

It looks like a mutant.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
