A door?

LOL, the funniest thing about this is that one of the offices is missing a door and they are looking around the building for it.

You would think that a door would be difficult to misplace.

Stories like this one really make my blood boil. Many of the communities that are letting their heritage go bye-bye depend on tourism. Tourists don't come to see the new, just-like-everything-else condos--they come to see the history and heritage.

Just ran into an old friend at breakfast---very serious preservationist who was responsible for our NHR status.

The plantation house, which I've mentioned before, was the home of a family that was the subject of a Eugenia Price trilogy (this house is on the cover of the last book she wrote before she died.)

One story of the house was that during the Civil War, when the Yankees took over the house to use it as a hospital, the family hung out their British flag (The father was from England...how they got together is a fascinating story...) in hopes that it would get them some sympathy from the Yankees. It didn't work. The woman who sold the house to the developer still had the flag; it was framed and has been featured in several books. She was very proud of it.

The friend said that they went to meet with the developer to see what he was going to do with the house. (She is head of our group that tried to buy it years ago.)

THE FLAG WAS HANGING ON THE WALL OF HIS OFFICE, LIKE SOME ^#$&ING TROPHY!

Here's my "career" horoscope for today:

February 11, 2007
If your current career seems to be falling apart right now, don't fight it. This is a message from the universe that this particular path is not yours to take at the current time. Let things crumble so that you can build stronger than before.

So what did I tell you?  I don't actually do what my horoscope says to do, but more often than not it reinforces what I had decided to do anyway. On the days is doesn't....I ignore it :)

Like you say, EDI, some battles can't be won. One must choose their battles.

I am not choosing any more battles in the city of Marietta, GA. It's a lost cause unless there is a regime change.

It IS revolting, that's for sure.

Never has a town with so much potential sacrificed it for so little.

In my paper this morning it said that the store going out of buisness is now slashing prices to 80% off!!! good heavens!  So, I am at my office, 2 blocks away from the store waiting until it opens....since that is in about 15 minutes now, think I'll go see what I can find.  I'm hoping to get a good coffeemaker for the new office and maybe even some luggage.

I don't know if there's any justice in life (or after life), but this guy sounds like a prime candidate. Despite his connections, I suspect he's made many enemies--never a good thing.

Would you ask Mr. Geissman if he would like a copy of our "Ociee Nash" movie? He has some nice guitar solos in it.

Also, I have wondered if he has/plays a Weissenborn guitar.

No this was MSN.... Here's my week ahead from Cainer

Happy New Year! You may not be a Tibetan. You may not live in China, either. Still, though, the New Moon, at the end of this week, that heralds a change in the calendar for both these nations, has a similar meaning for the global population of Cancerians. This is the fresh start you have been waiting for. A chance to really fulfil the promises that you made to yourself back at the start of 2007. Already some things have changed in a way you never believed they could. You are about to see that these are leading to a series of even more exciting and inspiring possibilities. Need to give something up? Want to take something up? Now is your chance.
