WOW, this sucker just might let me POST this sunset! OK, here is the plan..first men REMEMBER NOT TO HIT RETURN! Second, set your jaws and grab your reticipals, now swear on the Cub Scout Oath that you will do your best to do your duty to BLOG and your country. Lets see if this sucker works? IF IT DOES feel free to comment and I am NOT talking about all that spam junk that flowed in on my first try at this thing! Send something worth reading! Thanks kids, now here it GOEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 

man lets see if this works!

Ya know this blog thing is like trying to learn to drive a stick shift when you are 8 years old, fighting a lazy eye affliction in both eyes and drunk on your grandmother's OLD CHARTER! If you hit return it posts and if you don't hit return well, a dump truck of doo doo falls right into your latest creation.

Lets just forget the mechanics of this thing and talk about the weekend! FIRST, UT played ND and almost had a game until they all got together on the side lines and reminded each other..HEY W E SUCK! Then they ran right back out and let the Irish neck slap them for the rest of the 4th Quarter.

I thought it was odd, bet you did also, that WBIR (our local number ONE TV station) sent their hack sports guy AND one half of the afternoon show to the game? Really, here is a very nice man who spends his afternoons encompassed in a thousand yard stair while one of the best women in local TV tries to smile and move passed the situation, now on the sideline at ND! UH, WHY? He didn't add much (course he added more that the vols) and even when they let him read the opens and such he just kind looked like a mongoose in the head lights.

Dear Channel 10, what da heck are you doing? Sure Style went into the dumpster after you fired the tall blond lady, but man LIVE AT FIVE is stinking up the parking lot! Are you trying to find a hole for Russ? Bless his heart if you are SPORTS is not it! How about giving that boy on STYLE his hangerdowns back and let him get back into sports, it IS where he started!

Sorry if you are not a Knoxville TV viewer, you have NO idea what we are talking about and I apologize. If you are, man it is Armageddon! WBIR has been number one longer than Victor has been, well you know..Victor! Now they are just stumbling along with zero direction and even less "style" and attitude.

NOW back to this dang blog junk.
I was on a roll last week, tossing pictures up right left and sideways. NOW the stupid program i was using to get them on is toast? Has to be operator error! No that can't be it I am a genius! Anyway, got more great pictures for you and as soon as I can figure it out they will be up. Please don't tell me I have to go back and learn DOS?

OK

I am going to try and lob one into this post, it was a great sunset in Rockford tonight and i hope it makes the dang CUT!.

Sorry for all the pictures!

I got so carried away when I figured out how to post pictures that I kinda went over board! I will try to add fewer and post more as I become more proficient with this thing. After scanning a few other blogs I find myself stopping at those with pictures, has to do with my simple mind I guess? Anyway, if you have questions find but if you have ANSWERS man leave me a few!

Charles Walker Johnson, 1915. Not sure of the name of the dog behind his left hand? 

Six year old driver in a 1949 MG. Sucker had about 60 horse power and those wipers never did work. Would love to still have it in the family! 

Harry Abercrombie and his grandson one year later (1949) in Wyoming 

Harry Abercrombie and his grandson the year the little nipper arrived. 

late 1940s the Johnson family with children and three grand children in Maryville, Tennessee 

Eight years before I was born beautiful downtown Maryville looked like a heck of a place to go to the movies! 

All but the tall guy in the middle are running from the law, last seen in a small town hear the Alabama/Tennessee line driving a tired Buick Electra 225 pulling a stolen wooden boat with a large hole in the side and a STOP THE WAR sticker on the back. 

1953, cabin in the Wyoming hills  

NEVER tell my mother I put this picture of her up on this thing..N E V E R! 

GUESS how many in this picture are still working for that TV station? TV news eats their young! 

Mid 1950s, Old First Baptist Church in Maryville, Tennessee. All the children on the front row are in prison now. 

Negril, 1985 taken on the beach with a real OLD film camera after a wild late afternoon storm 

1968, Devils Canyon, near lovell Wyo. 

Same creek shown in the 1934 pix today 

1934, Maryville, Tennessee looking up the hill toward downtown. 

The Late, GREAT Spud, bless his heart 

Fall is late, wonder who the daddy is?
