A Couple of things
Black Berry Winter...Dogwood Winter
I went to one knowledgable of more of the old time "Plain Living Affairs", my former Father Inlaw. OK, I only lived with his Daughter, but, he was practicaly. In his family planting by the signs is still practiced. He told me that, here at least, Black Berry Winter was different from Dogwood Winter. Reason is, as I mentioned, the Dogwoods Bloom a few weeks before the Black Berry's. That a cold snap at that time is Dogwood Winter and Black Berry is the last. I think Dogwood Winter is usualy associated with Easter, but, that differs in date. There usualy is one around Easter. Come to think of it, I should have asked my Grand Mother. I beleive it vary's from region to region. Dogwoods in SC and GA bloom earlier than they do here and it lags furthewr you go up I'm sure. Thanks to Appalachian Gun Trash for the comment regarding the two.
Uncle Sam
The last few day's out on the Highway I've seen a Red, White, and Blue sign reading "Uncle Sam wants you for Vacation Bible School. I'm in the Lords Army". Beside the sign was a blow up Uncle Sam. Sam's gone today. Some Red Neck is having fun with that one. He probablay has Mardi Gras Beads around his neck, listens to blasting AC/DC and patiently bares it as Coor's Light is spilled on him. Well, in these time's he needs to see how common people live...
Castle Argghh Book Reveiw
I received a mail from the Mil Blogs Ring asking for input on a book reveiw. Hey! I'm a Rocka Billy Hill Billy Nerd...Book Book..did some say book? So I went on over, read it and said my peice. You can too. So, if you beleive or don't beleive that the US is now committing Militarilism or your a War Geek, a Service Memeber or what not go here and give a read. It's somewhat lengthy. Be warned.
I'm gettin off of here. I've been here too long. I have things I need done before I crawl into the bed.

Yeah, I came back and spelled the title right. Sometimes I just don't punch the letters in the right order.
