Dave,
As for leaves, I use natural techniques, mainly wind.  My careful research reveals there will be a day in November when everything will blow away.

Bill

Bill - the wind solution for leaves does not work for me.  The trees bock the wind at ground level.  One of my scary times are when we have a big wind storm and the tall huge trees start to sway back and forth.

Bill - I love the water.  You must do some very nice peaceful walks along the beach.

Richard,

You have Critter Creek and Dolly World - and let us not forget Davey Crockett - and doesn't get much better than that.

You have spent a lot of your life at 30,000 ft. - now those are memories of beautiful scenes.

Chris - you old Brit

Some of my best memories of fall was riding my motorcycle around your area taking pictures of covered bridges - and you can do it everyday.  Maybe some day I'll get another bike.

Dave:

Yes, for someone who just twelve years ago was mired down in some serious "unpleasantness" in West Africa, I'm one lucky guy.

And speaking of David Crockett, his boyhood home is only about a mile from our house:

Richard - well if Davey's boyhood home is that close to you - and he killed a bar (bear) as a kid - maybe he got that bear on Crittter Creek.

Dave:

Critter Creek Cabin is about 45 miles south of us in the Great Smoky Mountains.  We live here in the valley between the the Cumberland Mountain range to the north and the Great Smoky Mountains to the south.  However, we did have a black bear wander through town earlier this year.  It was spotted on the gounds of a local nursing home.  By the time the Animal Control officials arrived, the bear had disappeared into the woods leading up to Crockett Ridge, leaving the residents of the nursing home with a lot to talk about for the next few weeks.  So . . . it may well be that Davy got his first "b'ar" right around these here parts.   ;)

One of my wife's cousins sent this link to us overnight.  If you love this country and admire the late John Wayne, open the link, turn up the sound, and get ready to be inspired:

Ah yes - the Duke speaks.  

I have that saved somewhere and it is a joy to listen too :)

Just checking in. After reading posts for the last week or so I just want to say that this is one fine group of people. Nice folks living in nice places. We are all very lucky. Amazing how a little gun can bring a bunch of like minded people together.  Dan

I'll be off line for a few days for surgery to repair some residual damage left over from a reckless past.  (It seems the older I get the more body parts I need to repair or replace.)  

Take care of the Forum, my friends.  As the "Governator" might say, "I'll be baaack."   ;)
