Holiday greenery...

If you plan to mail out some holiday good cheer this year, consider a greener alternative to the usual paper cards—most of which simply meet the same fate as unwanted catalogs after New Year's Day. Grow-A-Note holiday cards are designed for a second life: Plant the card in soil, and seedlings in the paper will grow into wildflowers as the paper itself naturally biodegrades. Holiday cheer that lasts well into spring. They actually have all kinds of recycled paper...even gift wrap. Get yours here.

This years biggest and brightest...

Sky gazers can enjoy the "biggest and brightest" full moon of this year on Thursday and Friday due to its closeness to the earth.

"This week's full moon (October 25/26) will be the biggest full moon of 2007," NASA experts said.

"Some full moons are genuinely larger than others and Thursday night's will be as much as 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons we've seen earlier this year," one of the NASA's alert web sites www.spaceweather.com said on Wednesday.

Yeee-haaawwww... 1,000 gallons of moonshine...

GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- Two northeast Georgia men pleaded guilty today in Gainesville to run`ing a moonshine still hidden in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Brett Jarrard and Max Moss, both of Clayton, were among four people a federal grand jury charged in July with producing the illegal liquor in Rabun County in north Georgia from January 2005 to February 2006.

Authorities said they destroyed six stills overall and seized more than a thousand gallons of moonshine.

A sentencing date has not been set.

The 46-year-old Jarrard faces up to 35 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to six counts of unlawfully manufacturing and transferring distilled liquor and failing to pay taxes on it, as well as one count of unlawful receipt of untaxed liquor. The 70-year-old Moss could be sentenced to five years after he pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully manufacturing and transferring distilled liquor and failing to pay taxes on the operation.

We've missed them all this year...
The State Fair and The National Fair...but next year...we shall definitely attend.

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)...

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

by E.E. Cummings

It's apple season...

And now...a little cocktail music from Dean Martin...

The faucet it is dripping and the fence
is falling down
My pocket needs some money
so I can't go in to town
My brother he ain't working
and my sister doesn't care
The car it needs a motor so I can't go anywhere

Mañana Mañana Mañana is soon enough for me

Once I had some money but I gave it to a friend
He said he'd pay me double he was only for a lend
But he said a little later that the horse it was so slow
Why he gave the horse my money is something I don't know

Mañana Mañana Mañana is soon enough for me

My brother took his suitcase and he went away to school
My father said he only learned to be a silly fool
My father said that I should learn to make a chili pot
But then I burned the house down the chili was too hot

Mañana Mañana Mañana is soon enough for me

The window it is busted and the rain is coming in
If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
And we don't need a window on such a lovely day

Mañana Mañana Mañana is soon enough for me
Mañana Mañana Mañana is soon enough for me
