My flight out of DC back to Memphis was loaded. The noon flight had been cancelled and that let a long list of standby passengers congregate hoping for a seat. With that in mind, I was glad to get an operator on the 800 line to find me a window seat so I got out of the middle. Little did I know that … [Read more...]

Charity Starts at Home with the Farm & Local Community Organizations
Two Saturdays in a row I've made the drive out to a town some of us affectionately known as Hooterville to see my farming friends Marjory & Bob.
