Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Robertson Work

Have you noticed lately how many avenues I've been posting about this man's ideas? 




I'm in the middle of reading this.

It's a library copy, and once again I'm pretty sure I'll want to buy my own copy. The only other time that's happened was with Braiding Sweetgrass. I want to mark it up with my reactions!

They do have a lot in common.

So today I took a photo of a page that I want to be sure to remember, and have it to look back upon (actually 1-1/2 pages, 57-58).



Oh, yes, I voted yesterday! If you live in the USA, please tell me you have or will vote by Nov 8!! Our democratic governance depends on it, (vs. autocratic.)

    1. My guess is they aren't thinking about it, more than many of us are. But some wise people are, like Robertson.

    1. It's probably impossible to be prepared totally, especially if things happen quickly. Who knows...I doubt I will be around still.

  3. Our election was a municipal election.

  4. All good suggestions. And part of why we chose to move to NC almost fifty years ago.

    1. Me too, I remember a phone conversation when I moved here, saying I expected we would still have clean water in the mountains no matter what happened in cities.

  5. I already voted. You asked about Charlie and he did okay in daycare, at least that’s what they said. There was a delay when I picked him up because a young woman had to chase him around to corral him.

    1. Oops...I wondered if he was in a cage again...but it sounds like he was free to run! Tee hee. Maybe two people might do better next time. Yay for us early voters!!

  6. Barbara, We have never failed to vote... Unfortunately, too many people vote who don't know anything about the world, climate, politics, or much else. They vote the way they do because that's what they've always done or because they are simply voting for whomever is most likely to deliver whatever their immediate needs are...no long term vision. The things to do list in preparation for the future is a large part of why we moved to East Tennessee. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. I sure support your stance about knowing who you're voting for! Yes these Appalachians have been here for Eons, and probably will continue, no matter what politicians do.
