I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair. That is funny... Of course it reminded me of a song! The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia Original - Vicki Lawrence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrQvOvu_eRc Cover by Reba McEntire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Mwr-qnMqw Which then led me to the next southern song (which there are many)- Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billy Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv33eaygVDQ Lyrics - The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia He was on his way home from Candletop Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop At Web's and have him a drink for he went home to her Andy Wo-Lo said hello He said "Hi what's new" And Wo said "Sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt" Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right But your young bride ain't home tonight Since you been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy Seth Now, he got mad and he saw red Andy said boy don't you lose your head 'Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands Andy got scared and left the bar Walkin' on home cause he didn't live far you see Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one Brother thought his wife must've left town So he went home and finally found the only thing Daddy had left him and that was a gun He went off to Andy's house Slipping through the backwoods quiet as a mouse Came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make He looked through the screen at the back porch door And he saw Andy lyin' on the floor In a puddle of blood and he started to shake Georgia patrol was making their rounds So he fired a shot just to flag em down A big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said "Why'd you do it?" The judge said guilty on a make-believe trial Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile Said supper's waitin' at home and I gotta get to it That's the night the lights went out in Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands Well, they hung my brother before I could say The tracks he saw while on his way To Andy's house and back that night were mine And his cheatin' wife had never left town That's one body that'll never be found You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun That's the night the lights went out in Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands That's the night the lights went out in Georgia That's the night that they hung an innocent man Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands Lyrics Ode to Billie Joe It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet And then she said, I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge Today, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And papa said to mama, as he passed around the blackeyed peas Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow And mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And brother said he recollected when he, and Tom, and Billie Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? I'll have another piece-a apple pie; you know, it don't seem right I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge And mama said to me, child, what's happened to your appetite? I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge A year has come and gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe And brother married Becky Thompson; they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge |

Good morning everyone! Seems like a nice day to go for a ride - Take Mila with us and explore more of the area. Currently 48 degs with highs mid 60's and no rain. Have been considering moving last few years. Looking for a bit more privacy but then it does put us out from town and my work. But hard to find that perfect spot for a decent price  I also have to make bread this weekend for our wine group's Christmas party. The host is making the meat course and the rest of us bring dishes. My wife is doing a potato dish, not sure what kind....maybe au gratin something.  . For the bread - maybe Challah bread or rolls made out of same dough. Or Brioche rolls.

| StrykersPerson | I wish the skunk or skunks would say Hello before they move in. Thanks for making my load lighter. The skunk bill is manageable but irritating. I've lived in this house for going on four years and never had this issue. Ugh. |
