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.

I think this is an object lesson of the cliche "what comes around, goes around."

Good for the horse. Oddly enough, Big A and I were just talking about branding on Sunday. It's a somewhat common practice in black fraternities to get the greek letters branded on their arm. I know a couple that have done that. I don't get it. All the unthinkable things they have had done to them in previous generations all come back around by them doing it to themselves.

Dadgum horse kicked 'em in the head . . . and it was square in the head too . . . and fast too! What happened to this guy . . . he enrolled in graduate school somewheres . . . no, he did not sign-up for infantry. I an no horse man, but this horse did what I was so afraid Big Red my 1600 pound mule would do to me somewhere in the middle of five acres of corn we plowed together years and years ago. It hurt to watch. Bill

Murf, oddly enough, I freeze branded two of my Dogs Sunday. Which, as apposed to hot branding is not so bad...I know, this opens up the freeze brand can of worms...
I've known some branded college kids. If you put enough young guys in a roo together, they will do something crazy. That's the botto line.

Sage, Bill, you know that hurt. Obviously for both of them. It was a fast horse though.
