Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

Name:
Location: Brevard, North Caroilina

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Sally looks exactly like a foster dog I had, Kirby Floyd. I wanted to keep him so bad, but he kept jumping my fence to do his hound dog thing.

Bell, Sally, and Squeaky Rambo all are beautiful dogs App. Looking at dogs was a nice way to start my day!

Murf, the closest thing would be Sally, since Old dan, and Little Ann were Red Bones, not highly popular for Bear Hunting, but for Coon.

BTW, I loved "Where The Red Fern Grows". Now I want to see both of the movies.

Mew, hounds want to hunt. That matters to them the most.

You forgot all of those walker Hounds.

Just curious, but what sort of biological type things are the Feds doing in that Coweeta Creek Biological Labratory?

Gunner, I can't tell you exactly, they do a number of things. Your off in this big woods Appalachian Forest and all of a sudden there are PVC frames and shade devices, reflective plates, garden boxes, heck one thing I saw had a generator. Typically, we move straight thru these ares. The Lab does have a web site, rather interesting. To be linked.

Bill, I loved the book. it was great. I thank you very much. Yes, the two dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann were Red Bones. Like Sally.
Well, yes, I feed those dogs, I wish I could have had them out more during season.

Yes, I know you feed those animals, and yes, I told some cousins who hunt about the blog, and I also said about you'n hunters are more caring and knowing of animals than a lot of people who talk the talk and think people who hunt are not caring like that . . . carin' about people and animals just comes out in your writing . . . I called Randy A. and asked about the snow coming. You might get some tonight or tomorrow and, of course, hunting season is long over and the bears have gone to ground for another season in the mountains. Keep writing and take care.

I always liked the sound of a "Blue Tick Hound." The name, "Red Bone" has a nice ring too.
