Fight the Yuppies

I've noticed "nutrition" bars seem to be everywhere. Besides the usual places like Starbucks, I've also spotted them at various gas station counters, the dollar store, and even in our employee store. For parting with $ 2.25 or more of your hard earned cash you get a wimpy little vitamin fortified cereal bar that not only has an average of 220 calories (just 10 less than two Reese's cups), but is often foul tasting. I'm choosing to fight the yuppification of America by eating a giant chocolate chip cookie for lunch and popping a multi-vitamin when I get home. Heck, it's only a buck and has the same calorie count!

Wolf Spider

I snapped this humongous wolf spider, 3- 3 1/2 inches across (with hundreds of babies on her back) that took up residence right outside our back door. There is no no creative editing here - she looked even more creepy and disgusting in person than in the photo.

Pig Roast, Pt. 2

July Pig Roast

These are a few Shots of Greenbrier's July Pig Roast. It was small, The band not a lot too it, but the kids had fun. The only down side to it was the music. I understand that they had to keep it mellow because kids and seniors were present, but come on now! As many good musicians live in the Metro Nashville area you'd think they would hire a band that could carry a tune - especially a country band.

Famous last words -- "Just ignore it, it will go away". It's kind of hard to ignore something that's mewling and clawing her way up our screen door. I guess She's ours now.
