A family vacation in Tennessee we had a convoy of 4 vehicles and ended up in a mountain top militia camp,they came out rifles and hand guns, We were on a mountain road and could'nt turn around without going off a cliff till we got to the top.
Anyway found a campground and the three men got us thrown out drinking beer over campfire. They got the camp security guard drunk and lady in site next to us complained. Security guard told her " to shut her mouth ; they ain't bothering nobody" So she called the the cops to the off duty cop,lol. we had 10 kids with us under 10.

Been dreading this job for 2 weeks but I got the rear wheels set out for row crops. The older I get the more dangerous simple jobs like this seem.

You need to (pardon the pun) 'farm' jobs like that out to young people. They work cheap and they need the experience.
For us grey-hairs, something simple like that can end up being a life-changing experience.
Sure, when we were young, dropping a tire like that on our foot would have us hopping around for a few hours, tops.
For us today, it could easily sentence one of us to a wheelchair for life.
Put that pride back into the toolbox and work on passing the torch.

You should be out in the field, where you belong, poppin' wheelies!

@Meerkat There is a native american festival at the Moundville State Archaeological Park every year. I try to go every year owing to Chickasaw blood in my family. Moundville Archaeological Park – University of Alabama Museums

One year there was a family making and explaining all the native american paints. Red Ochre was a commonly used paint for many tribes. Red Ochre base is ferric oxide or iron oxide.

Birmingham Alabama was founded on iron and steel. There is lots of red clay in northern Bama and Georgia

Ochre - The Oldest Known Natural Pigment in the World

Prehistoric and Historic Uses - Natural iron-rich oxides provided red-yellow-brown paints and dyes for a wide range of prehistoric uses, including but in no way limited to rock art paintings, pottery, wall paintings and cave art, and human tattoos. Ochre is the earliest known pigment used by humans to paint our world--perhaps as long ago as 300,000 years…

Peanut very interesting history of the red clay. I know I'm from Georgia and we have lots of it there also. I rook some soil biology in Hort class but was so loaded up with science I forgot most of it. I think clay is also known for its high ratio of positive ions to negative ions. too which also makes it a good soil for planting other than the lime sometimes needed , of this relying to what memory this last year has left me .:ghostly:
Also in Cartersville Ga. there are lots of Indian Mounds ,not sure what tribe.
 
All I know is that I hope the college coed that does my grocery shopping for me keeps us all safe by strictly obeying the one-way aisles stickers. I would hate to think she is putting her very life at risk, not to mention the whole of society, by running back for some item she missed instead of pushing that cart all the way around the next aisle. Sure it's quicker, but OBEY THE STICKER! 😏

This would be funny if it weren't true. Today at the grocery store... now the isles are one way. :( They have really gone to far with this crap!

Reminds me of when I turned 14 (1961)
Rick on Cushman 1961.JPG
and bought a Cushman motor scooter. I got a ticket the very first day. As the cop wrote the ticket he said "Boy you don't even know why I'm writing this ticket do you?" I replied "no sir."
He said you are going the wrong way on a one way street. I said "I've been riding my bicycle in both directions for years on this road." He replied "You're not on a bicycle any more. Pay attention." It'd be just my luck to get a ticket in a grocery store.
 
Since there is no HS graduation ceremony this year , our county honored our graduated this year by doing an escorted parade thru both towns, 2 miles apart, in our county. The hwys and streets were lined with well wishers , with signs and horn blowing as the passed . The line of grads in cars and trucks was probably a mile long.
Love living country small town.
It was fun.
