Sad about all of those abandoned homes, Silvertip.
You know you live in a small town when your pharmacist goes to your same doctor. (New doc to me so that really made me confident.)
No big deal, back at the turn of the 20th century there was a boom in agriculture and immigration.
So there were people filing on every square foot of ground they could.
When the drought hit in the 30's, those on less desirable pieces couldn't make a living and left. Nowadays it's the folks coming in and building a mcmansion on a small piece of ground, finding out there aren't any jobs, then leaving.
Almost like here, in the 1800's the population was triple, there were mills and a tannery on the creek. The pollution must have been horrendous from the tannery.
News, Michigan man facing a number of charges after leading police on tractor chase while drunk
Joshua Viau was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of resisting and obstructing police officers, one count of fleeing and eluding police, and one count of operating while intoxicated.
LMAO, two years ago they arrested a man driving a lawn tractor on the city streets in the metropolis........yeah, he was drunk. And tried to give chase.
Strange vehicle pulls into your yard, first you ask DH who they are, then when he doesn't know you meet them at the front door, closed so they can't see inside.
They ask you if you're the ones with the donkeys for sale on CraigsList. You say no, then ask for the phone number for the ad.
You retreat inside, Google the number, find out they were one digit off on the house number and totally blew the street name, and return to the porch, giving them the correct house number, street name, and directions to get there.
You watch the three men in a mid nineties regular cab F150 drive away.
You then find the ad on CL for two full size donkeys and remark to DH, 'Oh, I didn 't know she had donkeys up there (you know who's place it was from the ad). Unless they're going to ride them back they won't be going in that truck.'
The truck, empty, goes past your place heading out half an hour later.
News, Police kill charging cow who sent officer airborne.
MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — Police in Mount Vernon, Washington, killed an agitated Angus cow that rampaged through town, tossing a police officer into the air and tap-dancing on a patrol car.
Seriously, killed it? Did they not have a country boy who could corral it? Dang cityots........
YKYLIASTW the power goes out and everyone in town goes for a ride all over to see if anyone has lights on to determine if it's the big transmission line to the east that's down or the other one from the south.
I just fired up the generator, it's been out since nine last night.
When cows are outlawed, only outlaws will have cows.
