Happy Mardi Gras

MARDI GRAS!!

What fun, what joy – who am I, where I be?  The joy of Carnival, as illustrated in the New Orleans Times/Picayune newspaper.

SPRING: NOT QUITE SPRUNG

In NorthEast Alabama life may fall into one of three categories:
Town/City Life:  Lots of cars, restaurants, WalMart.
County Life: You can see the houses of your neighbors but cannot hit them with a thrown rock.
Country Life:  You cannot see your neighbor's house.  You can see little but fields/woods and probably own a tractor.  In Spring/Summer you can see even less because of the leaves, flowers and chipmunks.

We live in the county and can see our neighbors' houses.  Usually.
