  Just a quick note on the ffff post and the new host for the ol' skool version.

It appears there are issues with the comments. I can see them and moderate them but

they don't appear and seem to have some viewing issues.  I tried to get it set up properly last night

but , alas, it didn't work.

 I believe I have them turned off for now. 

Wordpress is a whole new animal after working on this platform for 15 years.

When time allows, I will see what I can figure out.

Be good.

A 100+ year old football rival game between Gordo High School and Pickens County High School has been cancelled due to a social media post. Apparently Pickens County (majority black) got the but hurt about the Gordo High's (majority white) cheerleaders social media posting  for a safari themed dress-up for game day asking fans and students to dress as tour guides, jungle animals, or to bring safari themed props (i.e. "jungle food", bananas, etc.). They've obviously never heard the "sticks and stones" children's rhyme. Besides, I wouldn't let Gordo "make a monkey out of me".

 In the recent Charlie Kirk post I had asked for links of videos mentioned in comments and a a couple posted these. I don't know what to believe in this age of AI (not saying either of these are "fakes"), but I do know there are several "inconsistencies" with the original/FBI story and the physical evidence.

Men and ageing....

 

 From the book of face HERE. Not my post, just copied since I felt it was worth sharing.

Irish

Men & Aging...As someone who just turned 62, let me tell you straight up: getting old SUCKS.

The hardest part for me? My mind still thinks I can do the things I did at 22…hell, even 42.

But reality well my friends...reality says something different. Usually in the form of sore knees, slower recovery, or the reminder that time doesn’t care how young you feel inside.

And here’s the kicker aging hits men differently than women, and it’s almost always framed negatively. Women get “wine nights,” “self-care Sundays,” and “50 & Fabulous.” We men on the other hand hit 40 and it’s dad-bod jokes, hairline memes, and the tired “midlife crisis” cliché.

Meanwhile, we’re carrying decades of grind, responsibility, and the pressure of knowing we don’t get to screw up, not even once, without paying for it forever.

But here’s the thing: while we may not be as physically capable as we were, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally? This can be our time to shine. If we choose to.

Getting older can actually be the best upgrade a man gets:

·         Fewer illusions.

·         Clearer standards.

·         A tighter circle.

·         Better priorities.

You stop auditioning for people who don’t care and don’t matter and start investing in the ones who do. You finally learn to prioritize the one person who’s been neglected for decades…YOU!

But we also need to understand that society doesn’t celebrate that. Instead, it pathologizes it:

·         Buy a bike? “Crisis.”

·         Start lifting again? “Crisis.”

·         Change careers? “Crisis.”

Well here’s a thought, maybe it’s not a crisis at all. Maybe it’s a man finally steering his own life. If we treated male aging as mastery instead of malfunction, you’d see fewer men checking out and more stepping up

Less shaming. More respect. Less “grow up, man-child.” More “good, now go build something.”

For far too long, men have been told to provide while nobody provides for them. That has to change. And it starts with men prioritizing themselves.

So tell me: What’s been the hardest part of aging for you as a man?

And what’s the best upgrade you wouldn’t trade for your 20s?

'Walking Tall' Sheriff, Buford Pusser likely killed his wife according to Tennessee officials

"For those of us whose parents took them to see Walking Tall, this is like finding out that, Santa isn't real." FB quote

Sheriff Buford Pusser (circa mid-1960s)

Pauline Pusser

According to evidence, Tennessee officials have determined that McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser likely killed his wife, Pauline, in a staged ambush in 1967. The entire 1000 page report has been made public and will soon be available to view online.

The story of Buford Pusser has been told in film, books, and songs, but apparently most had the story wrong. Buford Pusser was lionized as a rural sheriff from humble beginnings who took on organized crime and won, but at a hefty price. The story launched a string of sequels in the early and mid-70s. There was a television series, and a recent remake based loosely on the original storyline. The first film, Walking Tall (1973), was made on a budget of less than $500,000 and grossed over $40 million at movie box offices. The film grossed $10 million in additional revenue from rentals. In Walking Tall Buford Pusser and his wife are ambushed and killed on a lonely country road. After a brief recovery, and Pauline Pusser's funeral, Buford and the locals drive to a fictional bar/impromptu casino/whorehouse where Buford runs his car through the establishment killing the last of the mobsters. Then the local townspeople help him burn the place. This was one of the few movies I got to see in a theater as a young boy. It was really a good story and fairly well made considering the budget, but it was just a "story".

I had heard for years that the sheriff was "crooked" from people who had firsthand knowledge in this subject (McNairy County is not far from where I was raised). One of those was a local moonshiner I knew. In the mid-1960s my friend had a moonshining operation in McNairy County TN. This man was full of "Buford" stories. He told me that the first time he met the sheriff it almost ended in bloodshed, but that they later became "friends" more or less but business was business and he still had to "payoff" the sheriff to operate and he said he did. 

Buford killed two people during his time as sheriff (Louise Hathcock and Russ Hamilton). Buford told my friend that some locals had "hired" Hamilton, a small time hood who had recently been arrested for beating his own mother, to kill Pusser. He told my friend on Christmas Eve 1968 that he was going to kill the killer before the Hamilton could do the job. He also told my friend, who lived in Florence, AL at the time to turn his television on when he got home and hear all about it (which he did and the shooting was reported on the local news). Buford shot Russ Hamilton after investigating a "threat" Hamilton had allegedly made to his landlord, threatening to shoot him. Several articles say Hamilton got off four or five shots at Pusser, but that is not the way Buford told my friend it happened. That version is much less dramatic. Allegedly, Pusser kicks in the door on a the tiny shotgun house/apartment where Hamilton was living. Hamilton was passed out on the couch and there was a pistol and a bottle of whiskey on the coffee table. Hamilton woke up and reached for the pistol and Pusser shot him twice before he could reach it. Based on this and other firsthand accounts involving multiple girlfriends of Buford Pusser, I'd have to say the "movie sheriff" was dirty. Pusser died from injuries sustained after crashing his brand new 1974 Corvette (there was a fire after the crash). That was the same day Pusser had signed a movie contract in which he would play himself. There was a lot of speculation surrounding Pusser's death such as the the car may have been sabotaged, etc., but nothing was ever proven.

Way back when the internet first came along, I stumbled across a discussion board pertaining to the Pusser stories I followed for years until they moved to Facebook. The author of this discussion site and FB page was a retired LEO from AR (Elam is his name I believe) and he dug up all sorts of inconsistencies. The story is just breaking, but I believe this guy, Elam was the driving force behind this investigation. There is a lot of information on this subject there (link below) . I wonder if the Buford Pusser museum, BP Festival, monuments, named highway, etc. will remain or will Buford be "innocent until proven guilty"?

These photos were from the most recent State of Alabama Department of Fish and Game's sanctioned alligator hunts that took place this past week. There is a registration period that opens up and prospective hunters may register. After registration closes, applicants are selected by lottery at a later date. The hunts are at night and closely monitored by the F&G officers. My son has done this a couple of times and he and his "team" caught large gators during both hunts.

Morning Tranquility

 Thanks for all the comments.  I just need to regroup. 

This site will stay and I’ll post when the mood hits.  

I have set up a Wordpress at Hostinger.  That’s where the images link.  

I’m just not ready to start to fuck around with learning a new dashboard.  Not that I won’t, there is just to much else going on and it’s all good being busy. 

Meanwhile, my morning view.  The sun feels warm on my face and there is a slight breeze.   Extremely quiet.   Soon the descent and morning coffee.  

Well kids. I tried. It was good while it lasted.

 I actually worked hard on this one.

They are Crawling

 

A  friend and fellow turkey hunter I know killed these two monsters Tuesday the 19th. He said they  were fighting inside his barn. He heard a ruckus, went to check it out, and found them going at it pretty good. He lives about 5 miles from me. Another buddy who logs for a living, killed a big one last week too about ten miles from where I live. I have yet to see a venomous snake this year and it is not because I am not out of doors. I am this way about snakes. If I can see one, they don't worry me too much, but when I amble up on one, there is a heart-a-stroke in the making!

Barn Snakes

PS: As I was trying to think of a title for the post, this song came to mind. Of course, they crawl in the daytime too.

During a hike yesterday, I crested a short rise and was greeted with this.

 

  Sorry, no banana for reference, so the picture doesn't capture the true size of this.

Rough guess is the bottom of that trunk is 10-12 feet above the ground.

The trail passes directly under it.

I paused, listened for minute, then passed under it sticking to the side with 

the larger tree.

The picture is taken showing the direction from which I had travelled.

No sign of Arnold or the Predator.

It's obviously been there a while but sooner or later gravity will change that.

Saw These Friday

 

We have been seeing a lot of new baby deer and deer in general the last few days (the moon is "fulling",you know). Among them, was a once super-fat nanny (now looking lean) that had triplets and we have seen that set a couple of times in the last week along with two does that appeared to only have single fawns. Driving into the house Friday around noon, these two were standing in the middle of the road until they saw me. The doe went right and the fawn went left of the road. I was on the phone with one of my friends and asked him if I could jump off as I was going to try to catch this brand new baby deer and I would call back later. I slipped out of the vehicle into the woods. I had not gone far when I realized I had left my phone behind. I really didn't expect to catch the deer, but figured I might get a picture. I went back for my phone which was only about 75 yds. I had not gone very far past the point where I had just been when I spied the little critter browsing and facing away from me. I made it to about 7 yds. and took this photo. I was nearly paralell with it when it raised it's head and looked at me. I took another couple of steps and it hopped (not really scared) a few yards away and went back to browsing. I then tried to flank it. I had gone only 25 yds. when I saw the mother standing about 60 yds. from me. She had returned searching for junior. She saw me. She then blowed/whistled, flagged, and headed back across the road. I had an angle on her and quick stepped it to the road where I was able to snap the two lower photos. I went on home after that. I hope everyone has a great Sunday afternoon and God Bless!
