Back to the "Deep South" in Duluth GA

I get a kick out of hearing the term "Deep South" in 2026. It is a crazy incredibly outdated label. I think maybe I should start saying the "Deep Northeast". I am a Yankee. My family came over on the Mayflower and moved to Upstate NY via Connecticut. Terms used in the revolutionary and Civil war days are generally inappropriate. My family is all but totally out of NY State now. I find the term "deep south" to be of the same thinking that the movie "Heidi" is what contemporary Europe is like. It is a long drive between Berkshire, NY and Duluth, GA. Most of the 35K miles on the truck were spent in between. I drove the truck about 3k miles in 2-1/2 weeks. It was great to spend time on the farm. It was good to make some progress on needed repairs and improvements. I also felt good about making some new friends up there. I will be back up there in August.

It has been a while. I must be slipping. I drove up to Rochester and back twice to ferry my Mom. Generally, the driving was terrible. I saw a few nasty accidents and I forgot to take photos. I am not sure what I was thinking. I had my camera. No excuses. I ran into my old friend Dave Schnsing at Wegmans and went out to visit his new farm in Macedon. They bought Maiers Mud Acres farm and we have software engineer turned farmer. They have apples, bakery, a road stand market and some nice fields. It looked like a lot of fun. It is definately something to keep your brain occupied. http://www.maiersmudacres.com/ Thanksgiving was quiet, nice and quiet. My flying occupies quite a bit of my thinking. It is such a positive activity. It is incredible to see the changes in myself. I see why people say, "it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on."
