Another trip between Georgia and the New York farm

Its unusual that I make the trip this late in the year. Although it is highly unlikely it would snow (and bring the road salt and all the other bad stuff). It is often rainy. I had excellent weather. The main objective was to bring the brush hog up and mow trails. The trails have been disapearing and there are a number of bush islands appearing everywhere a small finish mower can't do the job. The tractor worked well. Back up over a multiflora rose bush with the brush hog up and drop it down and take care of business --at least for another couple of year or so. I spent many hours years ago yanking these things out of the ground with tractor and chain which yields a more satisfactory long term outcome. I will be doing the same with the largest ones for sure. I understand that these bushes were originally planted as a natural fence. Animals and humans alike don't like the thorns. They are invasive.

I need to fix the archive issue with my blog. I really have to add the RSS feeds. (blah blah blah more projects Argghh!!!?/ ). I probably should drop out of school and devote more time to the web world. I see some cool stuff to get going. How things change. Earlier in my life I would drop out to pursue things. Now, I stay in not to pursue things. It is priorities, basic priorities. I will have to start posting more pictures soon. There is so much happening. I just got a chill. Bonnie says that happens when someone walks on your grave. It is windy and cold out there. It was 50 Above yesterday. I really hate the wind (so do the llamas). It seems that wind is one of Mother Nature's recycling devices. First from the north for 12 hours then from the south for 12 hours. We give up already.

I was thinking about some of the best speeches the world has ever known (Disclaimer: English language, recorded, rich media, history). One that always comes back is the one of Martin Luther King Jr,. Of course, Winston Churchill and our great U.S. Presidents are right in there too. Fantastic! Most people do not realize that he (King) was killed (look up assassinate in the dictionary) shortly after he gave this speech. Consider that fact as you listen to this audio (about 19 minutes, scroll ahead to the last 6 minutes or the last 3 minutes for most of us people on a busy schedule. Just make sure you understand the "if I had sneezed" reference). It is worthwhile. I apologize for the real audio format. Many people do not realize that RA is a demonic format. Toastmasters Note: Listen for when King confuses 1200 Miles with 1200 feet. He moves through the speech fludidly and without reflection. Skill. He moves on with confidence and grace.
