From Wayde and Barbara Dudley:
We left Savannah, Georgia on September 27th and headed for Atlanta after playing golf at the Bacon Ranch Golf Course in Savannah. It was a nice way to end our stay in Savannah.
We saw $1.99 gas outside of Macon, Georgia. We have been paying between that and $2.20, but that is the cheapest we have found.
We stayed in Conyers, Georgia which is just outside of Atlanta as that is where the Glock pistol match will be held that Wayde is competing in. We checked in that afternoon and, luckily, there was a Cracker Barrel within walking distance so we went there for supper. I don't know if any of you have been to a Cracker Barrel restaurant. They are great and we eat at one every time we get the chance.
The next day we went into Atlanta. It is very big and very busy but, thanks to our GPS unit, NUVI, we got around fairly easily. It would be impossible to to put into words the help we've had from our NUVI. When I think how it would have been if I had been looking at a map, trying to give Wayde directions and telling him which exit to turn on, I shudder. We can certainly recommend them.
We first toured the World of Coke. Coca-Cola was invented in the late 1800's in Atlanta and that is where their world headquarters are. Coke actually hasn't changed that much but it certainly has seen a lot of America's history. It was really an interesting museum.
We passed the Georgia Dome football stadium, the Turner Broadcasting complex and Georgia Tech, home of the Yellowjackets, to name a few places.
We then went to the Margaret Mitchell museum. The museum is housed in the apartment complex she lived in when she wrote "Gone With the Wind." She hurt her leg and couldn't get around so her husband talked her into writing a "little book". She did and the rest is history. She was a feminist, a flapper, and quite a forward thinker for her times. I was quite impressed with all she did before she became famous and all she did after her success. She donated a lot to the Black community but had to do it annonymously as it would have really been frowned on in the 1930's south.
A tour guide recommended a small sports bar down the street from the museum. We went to Jock and Jill's and had a really great lunch. Wayde went to the men's restroom and was pleasantly surprised to see a poster of Coach Billotti (U of O football coach) on the wall signed by Coach Billotti with "Go Ducks" written on it. Since we moved to Longview Hills from Eugene and are big Duck fans, we really enjoyed it.
We then drove through Marietta, Georgia, and saw several beautiful old homes. We went from there to the Kennesaw Mountain Civil War battle site. It was, as all Civil War battle sites are, interesting, moving and very sad. The museum chronicled the entire Civil War. What a sad time in our history.

Stevenson said it doesn't take a major disaster for the kits to be useful. Blackouts, snowstorms and windstorms may cause problems that require people to dig into their emergency kits for items such as candles, radios or canned food.

'Family planning takes a huge load off of our first responders who would be able to better treat and care for those in most critical need,' he said."

an email from Bill & Kathy Furgason

IT IS WITH MUCH SADNESS THAT WE WERE JUST INFORMED OF THE DEATH OF OUR GRANDSON, CHASE HAAG, IN IRAQ.

WE JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM HIM YESTERDAY (SUNDAY) SAYING HOW EXCITED HE WAS THAT HIS TOUR WAS ALMOST OVER AND HE'D BE HOME NEXT MONTH.

THAT'S ALL THE DETAILS WE HAVE, AS OF NOW.

PLEASE PRAY FOR COMFORT FOR HIS PARENTS, BONNIE & FRANK, FOR HIS BROTHERS, TAYLOR & BRANDON, AND HIS SISTER, ANA.

TAYLOR IS IN THE MARINE CORPS AND JUST WENT TO IRAQ A MONTH AGO. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIS SAFETY!

Repetive Sounding Horn..

Today there was a repetitive sounding horn somewhere close to my home on Windmill dr. As promised I took it to be an alarm from a neighbor in need and not a mistake. It shut off by the time I got to the end of my driveway.

I am happy that it was just a mistake. I promise you that if you set off your car horn alarm using your spare key opener ... I will come if I here it. If it is just a mistake we will both have a good laugh. Folks it just doesn't happen that much up here. Won't you join me in checking out a repetitive horn? Someday we might just be able to help someone in need.

Ladies you who live alone... This is the ideal personal alarm for you to keep by your bed or around your neck like a necklace when you want that extra feeling of security.

Those of you who are of like mind remember once in awhile you get a false alarm but it is a cheap price to pay for a great security alarm don't you think?

Link City

Every once in awhile we will lose a link on the Link City web page. This is a normal occurrence. People change websites and their locations from time to time. I have received a couple of questions about the Movies link and yup she had disappeared.

It's fixed now with what I think is a better link. It gives the area wide shows and allows you to rate them. The ratings from all the folks are put next to them ... Might save you from going to see a stinker.

Many times the only way I know if something is wrong on a website is if someone says something because I have a lot of them to Sheppard and also a lot of irons in the fire so to speak. That leads to some things not getting done... Help keep Ron on the straight and narrow and tell him when you see something not working... It helps ... Thank you.
