I didn’t do any posts last night, but if I had, I would have said that 38 years ago last night, MLK was shot.

I forgot about the time change (I thought about it briefly late last night, and was going to check to see if it was this weekend, then I forgot). When I checked email this morning, I saw the notice that my clock had been changed for Daylight Savings Time. I thought it was 8:30 am, when It was really 9:30.

We spent last night in Cincinnati with Janet’s folks , and are up and about ready to hit the road again this morning back to Nashville.

In Pigeon Forge , just north of Gatlinburg, headin’ in on Monday Oct. 4th to see some beauty.

It was beauuuutiful! The place to the left is where we stayed, our front door circled. I’ll sprinkle several mountain pictures through some of my posts.

I’ll be offline (unless some miracle happens) for the next week. We’re takin’ a week off to go just down the road to the Cumberland Plateu, and then spend 2 of those days of the next 7 in the Smokies. I have my Canon Digital Cam, so there will be pics when I get back, and maybe even some DV Continue Reading
