Just to say thanks.

I wanted to take tonight to thank everyone who takes time out of their schedule (busy or not) to read the Shipslog.
Thanks also to those who take the time to leave a comment, I do appreciate them all, the long the short and the tall. (Tall? It just rhymed, it was also from some marching song from the infantry, but the marching song was XX-rated.)

We leave the beautiful town of Belmont in the morning on vacation. Yeah, its rough having this many vacations, but we will endure the drives. Hahahaha!

(He ain't heavy, He's m'brother, motto to Boys Town. I just thought the picture was cute and we hope to see some wild life in the mountains!)

Hopefully the next entry will be from Tennessee, in the edge of the Cherokee Mountains, or the Smokies. We plan to see Fred Alton and his lovely wife Frances. We were neighbors in a trailer park over 50 years ago. Fred entered the ministry, pastored then found his calling as a missionary. They have served many years in South America and Africa.

I am thinking that I am also going on a search for a gentleman, an author, by the name of Jack Darnell, who lives in the mountain area around Tellico Plains. From what I hear he writes mountain folklore, and types his books on an old manual typewriter. It should be interesting to meet the man whose name I have been using for over 70 years.

Oh, and thanks for ordering the books on Sale here on the Blog. I have a few left, and then I think I will let Amazon & Target do the selling. Am I getting lazy or what?

Thanks again for stopping by the Log.
Nite Shipslog
PS:
The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one-mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

(Being a General, he sold the Interstate system saying we needed a way to move military personel fast incase of a war. The airstrips were also planned in the selling.)

PS2:

Oh, and before I close, I would like to thank everyone for their concern. One of the tornadoes set down about a mile from here. We lost power while I was commenting on Roses are Read, we didn't even know there was a Tornado warning when the first one hit.
(The second round we were safe in Shirl's basement car and all)
