A couple of months ago, I put my beloved little Verizon Razr in the pocket of a shirt and then washed the shirt....with predictable results! Off I went to the Verizon store and I came out, a bit lighter in the wallet, with a Blackberry Storm. It's a so-called "smart phone"

A friendtraveling south on Highway 127 from Jamestown, Tennessee swung around the other day when he saw me stopped, northbound,by the side of the road. I hadn't broken down; rather, I had stopped to take a picture of this donkey. He looks like he dipped his muzzle in a

Big South Fork National Park in Jamestown, Tennessee, has 125,000 acres of fabulous trail riding but it is rugged country so most riders carry saddlebags filled with....whatever you might need!

Well, not just here in Tennessee; it's a southern tradition, and a way of life all over the south. Barbecue is both a noun and a verb. You barbecue the meat to produce barbecue and you invite friends over for a barbecue...see what I mean? There's a barbecue joint in every

I recently wrote a post about the University Of Tennessee football team, the VOLS, and the incredible support they enjoy in this part of the country. It was inspired by some amusing pictures I took, after realizing how many things in this area are orange-and-white, the teamcolors.http://activerain.com/blogsview/1247944/seems-like-everyone-in-tennessee-is-a-vols-fan-.

This car is certainly the right tool for the job, according to rangers at the Bandy Creek camping area in Big South Fork National Park here in Jamestown, Tennessee.It clearly is some sort of environmentally-friendly car and what better place for a super-efficient "green car" than a national park!
