    Anyway, we're having our community Harvest Festival. Typical South Georgia festival with the usual activities such as parade, vendor booths, entertainment, etc. I'm helping with the sound system and me and my church youth group will be playing. Should be a great day, low of 58, sunny, high of 79.

    The only bad thing is that we've got a rally going on at the courthouse steps about 2 in the afternoon. The KKK has decided they want to have a rally protesting child molesters, illegal aliens and getting prayer back in school. Because of this, the Festival, which was 1/2 a block away has moved across town to just below our football field.

    It's definitely a black eye on our community (very small), but 1st Amendment guarantees free speech and peaceful assembly. Our local leaders are urging everyone to just ignore them and NOT go by there and try to stir up trouble, then we'd all be better off. The sad thing is that we've got some REAL intelligent people () around here that are easily "offended" and are irate with the city leaders for not denying them the right to assemble. They're asking that their people protest the Festival and not attend. Like that's going to really hurt the Klan...:

    This is the group that will not rest until they go around there and start trouble. I've heard rumor of NAACP and even the Black Panthers coming also, but don't know for certain. Hopefully, every one will stay away from the courthouse and it'll all peacefully blow over.

    Ah, sometimes life in a small town, ain't so grand. Pray for us.

    Well, I went camping at Wekiwa Spirngs, but I can't find the cable for the camera I took pics with. :

    So I'll wait on making my report until I can get the pix out of the camera and do it up proper.

    Howzabout you lot? Ron, what went down with the Klan doofuses?

    I played a gig and all the women (if you can call them that) in the bar took off their bras and hung them over the bar. I'm not sure what that was all about but there were plenty of gratuitous tata shots. Vedy intervestink!

    Kind of a non-event. There was only about 12-15 showed up (all from out of town). The crowd was about 100, with NAACP and many others. There was PLENTY of law enforcement. According to a friend of mine in law enforcement, it wasn't that bad. They spoke for about 25 minutes or so. Some in the crowd would shout out to them, with occasional profanities and ugly comments, but the crowd pretty well policed itself and would hush the rowdies. After 25 minutes or so, the Klowns packed up and left.

    Meanwhile, across town the Harvest Festival enjoyed a beautiful day! The crowd was good, all the vendor slots were full and we had some good entertainment. My kids and I played about 30 minutes and didn't do TOO bad. The guy who ran sound while we were performing didn't know who to boost and who to pull down, so of course that one that couldn't carry a tune in a bucket was the loudest one heard. (Ugh!

    I'll try to get a couple of videos uploaded of a couple of our better songs. I wrote 2 of what we played and they were TOO bad (for a bunch of church kids).

    Overall, it was a pretty good day. Heard lots of positive comments on the new location. I thought it was better because there was more room and everybody wasn't having squeeze through each other to walk. I was ready to drop when I got home though. I was there at 8:30 rounding up the equipment, delivering it, setting it and getting ready for the 11:30 start of the entertainment. Ran sound the rest of the day until 4:30, then it was 7:30 before I finally got home. Man, was I whooped!

    Our prayer now is that may the Klown(s) took the hint that they weren't welcome and won't be back. One can only hope. Thanks for asking Brian. Sorry if my reply is a little long-winded.

    No worries, glad to hear they didn't cause any real trouble and the fest thing you did went well.

    I'm still stiff and sore from camping, but I'll save that for tonight when I can hopefully get some pics up.

    Default B-day weekend




    Here is a pic from my B-day weekend with the guys mountain biking. I am the one in the background on the left with the brown and black jersey. Wonder bread boy was our course finder. This was near the beginning of an absolutely awesome ride.

    The night before the boys fed me a few beers and a coupla shots of Patron silver, and although we climbed around 3000 feet in this ride the next day, I rode well and had a great time. I guess Patron burns cleaner than a bunch more micros that I might have otherwise consumed.

    Sumitomo, sorry I did not get in touch, but as we had a large group, we were moving in many directions over the weekend, and it was over before I knew it.

    That's a great pic!

    I wasted most of an hour yesterday trying to buy a USB cable for one of our cameras locally, then when I tried to buy it online, the website messed up.



    It may be this coming weekend before I have pics of LAST weekend!

    you could probably buy a usb card reader cheaper than a dedicated cable for your camera....faster transfers too....
