Strange Sighting on Memorial Day Posted by Hello



I Passed by the horse and it made me laugh. So I grabbed my camera. I had to post it.

A cell phone ring tone is expected to top the English music charts!!

Crazy Frog Posted by Hello

A cell-phone ring tone appeared set to top the British singles chart Sunday, outselling the new single by the band Coldplay by nearly four to one, a music retailer said.
"Crazy Frog Axel F," a ring tone based on the sound of a revving Swedish mo-ped, is the first tune being used on mobile phones to cross into mainstream music charts according to a
Yahoo News article.

Also, the
BBC reports on the inspiration behind the frog.


It is kind of sad to see a cell phone ring tone top the charts while our favorite music legends go unnoticed.

Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum Posted by Hello


The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum is a great place to visit. It is the largest RR museum in the south. Volunteers restore all different kinds of trains from across the U.S.A. at their facilities. The train ride is cool. I was taken aback that the cars still had "White" and "Colored" labels on the cars. I agree that they should be maintained as they were for history's sake. A child will get a greater understanding of how things really were and who knows, maybe history will sink in. The train turns around on a turntable to connect with what had been the last car (not a caboose) and head back.

Segregated Cars1 Seperate was not equal on this train. This white only car was nicer than the one through the doors. Posted by Hello

Rainbow Lake Wilderness Posted by Hello


The family went hiking at Rainbow Lake Wilderness on Signal Mountain. It has a lot of bluffs, a few caves, a natural waterfall and a man-made waterfall. The sad news is that the government has recently taken notice and is making new trails out of concrete. Yuck!

3 Pics from the Etowah Indian Mounds

Etowah Indian Mounds 1 Posted by Hello

I visited the Etowah Indian Mounds about three weeks ago.
The Indian Mounds are located about 50 miles south of Chattanooga in Cartersville, Georgia. They date back over 1,000 years and were created by the Mississippi Moundbuilders. Info can be found at the
Etowah Indian Mounds site.

My New Parakeet

Chi Chi Posted by Hello


I got a new friend about a month ago, a parakeet that I named Chi Chi. I new he would be loud. I have had a bird before, so I was not surprised by the bird communicating with outside birds from inside my bedroom. The biggest surprise for me was the fact that most of my kitchenware has become obsolete. It turns out non-stick cookware is toxic. Crock pots are too. Candles and air fresheners are no more. But, its worth a few changes to have a new friend.
