Nighttime I’d lay on my back an’ look up at the stars; morning I’d see an’ watch the sun come up; midday I’d look out from a hill at the rollin’ dry country; evenin’ I’d foller the sun down. Sometimes, I’d pray like I always done. On’y I couldn’t figure what I was prayin’ to or for. There was the hills, an’ there was me, an’ we wasn’t separate no more. We was one thing. An’ that one thing was holy. – Jim Casyfloatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-84367139326724342682010-03-14T12:04:00.003-05:002010-03-14T12:08:47.888-05:00Ms. Lou's Chicken and DumplinsMake a young boy salivate<br />He asks his memaw if she should mention<br />All he talks about is your chicken and dumplins<br />South Arkansas charm<br />Ms. Oglesbys good time radio<br />I heard we were visiting from out of town<br />After church and the stained glass above our heads<br />All the kids sat at the table and laughed<br />And ate every bite of what Ms. Lou delivered.floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-38801053456245346992010-03-13T18:32:00.002-06:002010-03-13T18:37:24.249-06:00Fishing HoleI once thought I had everything I need<br />then I grew up<br />the swallow picks up the seed<br />from the tree but it wasn't enough<br />It ain't as easy<br />When the southwind blows<br />just as hook, line, and life seemed<br />to catch merely a perch out my fishing holefloatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-30327140167453897242009-11-08T21:18:00.001-06:002009-11-08T21:18:52.695-06:00Moving II.<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jNVPalNZD_I&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jNVPalNZD_I&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-46099451881749296962009-11-04T19:08:00.000-06:002009-11-04T19:09:27.452-06:00Style Profile.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxdBbADkxpeOWXKz_5zfUE5bJAAOr35xpfTF5WwKjmH7ntRjKOB2TD7uCySWYVBI9luo1CIuLaiB_NbRnn6BPHzIjf_hyasF9zVYwyzQBWxYphdGr4VvX9OMK9Oca5KMR4v8msw/s1600-h/10019Bis2328Web.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxdBbADkxpeOWXKz_5zfUE5bJAAOr35xpfTF5WwKjmH7ntRjKOB2TD7uCySWYVBI9luo1CIuLaiB_NbRnn6BPHzIjf_hyasF9zVYwyzQBWxYphdGr4VvX9OMK9Oca5KMR4v8msw/s400/10019Bis2328Web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400420372404062386" /></a>floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-3832574145383630102009-10-26T18:45:00.001-05:002009-10-26T18:52:36.380-05:00CHOW.The foodie quiz.<br />Omnivore’s 100 Meme<br />Instructions:<br />1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.<br />2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.<br />3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating, or will never eat again.<br />4) italicize ones you haven’t eaten but WANT TO TRY<br />5) Leave the ones you haven’t tried, but are indifferent about<br />Let’s just say I’ll try any food once and leave it at that.

<br />Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights <br />And send poor farm kids off to die? <br />Does God suggest an oil hike <br />When the president talks to God? <br /><br />When the president talks to God <br />Are the consonants all hard or soft? <br />Is he resolute all down the line? <br />Is every issue black or white? <br />Does what God says ever change his mind <br />When the president talks to God? <br /><br />When the president talks to God <br />Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?

Mrs. Floaty has been working her tail off cleaning house, preparing provisions, etc. Mr. Floaty does what he can...or he tries to stay out of the way.<br />It comes as no surprise to us that we would have some kind of kink to ruin our system. <br />Friday afternoon, we both noticed that the laundry room kind of had an odor to it. We both thought that maybe the clothes had stayed in the washer a bit to long and, being damp, they got that moldy smell you sometimes get.<br />However, we re-washed the load and then dried them. <br />The smell was still there in the laundry room. In fact, it was even more pronounced.<br />Since then, the smell has only gotten worse and I have noticed a whiff of it outside of the house, near the laundry room, while walking around on my deck. <br />OK. So it must be some dead animal that has crawled under the deck to find its final resting place. I put on an old pair of jeans, grabbed my mag-light, and went on a carcass hunt.<br />Under the deck was nothing but ivy and cobwebs. No dead cats, possums, squirrels, or (god forbid) rats.<br />But as I was crawling out from under the deck I caught the whiff again. This time it was close to the air vent that blows the hot air of the dryer outside of the house. <br />Now I'm not saying that something crawled up in there. At least I hope not. <br />But, I did go ahead and call the "Critter Getters." These are two guys that somebody needs to produce a reality show around. <br />I'm not kidding. They removed some squirrels in our attic a year ago. The story is too long to go into but I will say this...they have a most unorthodox way of "critter removal".<br />Alex from Critter Getters is going to be here tomorrow at 7 am to hopefully rid us of this most unpleasant odor.<br />I'll pay him what its worth to keep <span style="font-style:italic;">ME</span> from having to stick my hand up that vent.<br />I'll let you know how it goes. For now, I've gotta run. I've got to light some scented candles.floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-31865271340523625332008-11-23T14:25:00.002-06:002008-11-23T14:26:31.060-06:00Wild Turkey<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOBdMbiQMHXWST-wRimMta5QNJEi58yyZD6J6NnCZIfh6vbUIdiYING_ofqkeqe5CvcxCxOpZBA0OI8Pl6VKZluSspLwlpqGWqBZtUHOloKdqN5s5T0pLHEy4LFTdWC8k0nxn8A/s1600-h/smartturkey.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 338px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSOBdMbiQMHXWST-wRimMta5QNJEi58yyZD6J6NnCZIfh6vbUIdiYING_ofqkeqe5CvcxCxOpZBA0OI8Pl6VKZluSspLwlpqGWqBZtUHOloKdqN5s5T0pLHEy4LFTdWC8k0nxn8A/s400/smartturkey.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271951959045542146" /></a><br />Won't be long now.floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-18643553951719056652008-11-22T21:54:00.001-06:002008-11-22T21:54:36.463-06:00Beautiful...and very cool.<object width='448' height='336'><param name='movie' value='http://www.glumbert.com/embed/womenfilm'></param><param name='wmode' value='opaque'><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' /></param><embed src='http://www.glumbert.com/embed/womenfilm' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' allowFullScreen='true' width='448' height='336'></embed></object><div><a href='http://www.glumbert.com/media/womenfilm'>glumbert - Women in Film</a></div>floatydevicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039470866501723726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769528.post-6364283585645412652008-11-21T21:41:00.002-06:002008-11-21T21:44:23.670-06:00I saw<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nAIwrL0q60k&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nAIwrL0q60k&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />John Kilzer at Riverfest...back when it was free. Circa 1991. Immediately went out and bought both of his albums. Classics that have stood the test of time. When you click on this video, go ahead and skip to the 2:03 mark. This is when Kilzer takes the stage. Great song.
