Natures a-foot

Sweet and Sour

What is sweet is the Polar Plunge I want to attent "to watch" at Chetola lake in Blowing Rock Sat at a predicted 14 degrees. Will ambulances be standing by for people who are freezing to death and like myself who will be laughing to death? Will people I've told to go jump in a lake be their? A good verse to remember is everything in moderation (We all swim enough in the summer). Snow again Fri-Sat- I'm ready with my pack of instant chili mix lying in wait.
What is sour is I signed up for clustr maps over a week ago and still it does not reveal itself or appear on my blog (as well as those I follow in these dark blogging chambers) - as hard as try maybe I am more comp illiterate than I will admit. But then I am not so dumb as to jump into a lake with Ice on it.

The Vomitorium

What a day. It began Monday night at 8 when Isaiah got sick and it spread like wildfire until all my children and my wife at 5am Tuesday morning were all hurling chunks, calling for Ralff, naming the Buick, throwing up, feeding the fish, errupting molten lava, barf, spew, and vomiting. Apparently I'm the carrier since I feel great, aside from my noise hairs still smelling the puke everywhere I go. Why is it corn digests so slowly, we haven't even eaten corn?
Then on an even sadder note, the only person I have in the resthomes died at College Pines just a few minuets after 12 today. Thanks mom and Teresa for nurse -maiding my #1 family, so I can go be with my church family a little while today. Mrs. Lail was a very sweet lady - never a unkind work about anyone or anything did I ever hear her say. Always wanted to bo able to go to church one more time and see Gods people. Friday we will plant her house and await the Savior to glorify it in the soon coming Rapture.
My brother-in-law is now a homeowner I am told = welcome Luke to the world of debt, maybe you can find your way out, seems as though I can't. I am glad to see a house (which need work) that will soon become a home - it should begin with prayer. Unless God builds (or remodels) the house they labor in vain that build it. We will be praying for their sucess, physically, and spritiually.
Gotta go - the cleanup of undigested food awaits - our house has a new name "The Vomitorium"

Pork Bellies

I invested into the economies pork bellies yesterday and worked with it all day today. Investopedia says "Pork bellies is the actual name for the cut of a hog. The cut is then used for commercial pork supplies of bacon, pork meat etc." I paid $90 for half of a 325 lb hog. I got my baby back - baby back ribs, pork chops, tenderloin, middling (bacon), grinded 40 lb of sausage today, boiled a hog head with liver for liver mush to make tomorrow, cured a ham, and made some BBQ - but I have yet to get a hog belly. What is a Hog Belly? To the best of my knowledge it is the stomach of a pig, and unless your into eating chitlins(the intestines) a hog belly does not exist. OW I get it now, our nations leaders are concerned about something that does not exist. They are busy looking at pork prices instead of job loses - go America. Either way know that i am an investor in pork - ya and yawhoo! This coming Monday the national food to celebrate is chitlins, so maybe I will try some - or (s)not.
