QUALITY TIME TENTS AND MORE

STOP BY MY CAMPING STORE::::::http://astore.amazon.com/qualtime-20

I DO OWN FIVE TENTS, ONE OF WHICH I LIVED IN FOR AWHILE. I ALWAYS MENTION "IT WAS A NICE TENT" . THE TENT SHOWN ABOVE IS OVER 20 YEARS OLD AND IS A EUREKA "SPACE SAVER" I THINK . TWENTY YEARS IS A LONG TIME FOR MY MEMORY. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE A TENT, IN YOUR MIND YOU CAN BE ANYWHERE. ALL YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE ARE THE TENT WALLS. A COUPLE OF WINTERS AGO I PUT THE TENT UP IN MY GARAGE. I THEN PUT A SMALL ELECTRIC HEATER IN THE TENT AND PLAYED A CD OF "NATURE SOUNDS" CANADIAN LOONS IN PARTICULAR. THEN, MY NEIGHBOR LARRY WALKED IN AND HE KNEW I WAS "NUTS" FOR SURE. THE PICTURE ABOVE WAS TAKEN AT A CAMPGROUND NEAR SHREVE OHIO IN AMISH COUNTRY. WE WERE THERE MONDAY THRU FRIDAY. I DON'T LIKE CAMPGROUNDS ON WEEKENDS. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE.

WELL, I KNOW IT IS WAY TO COLD IN OHIO AND THERE IS A REALLY NICE CAMPGROUND ON JEKYLL ISLAND IN GEORGIA http://www.jekyllisland.com/location/map.asp?mapID=2 ALWAYS NICE TO DREAM..

KINGS NORTH MYRTLE BEACH

It's a 568-yard par 5 that wraps around a lake to the left, with an island fairway straight ahead. If everything works out ok I will be playing this hole on Tuesday 2/17/09. I'm going to go for the island fairway,but I will save my mulligan just for this hole in case I have to use it . Joe Todd

P.S. I will let you know how I did when I get back..

THE CALIFORNIA FARMER

I found this poem in the "papers" left by my Great-Great Grandfather The Rev. Johnson: I did a quick google search and didn't find anyone else to credit this poem to. So governor Schwarzenegger pay attention..

The California farmer gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut clock; buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania basin, wipes on a Rhode Island towel, sits up to a Grand Rapids table, eats Kansas City meat and Minneapolis flour with Idaho potatoes cooked with Indiana lard on a St. Louis stove, burning Wyoming fuel.

He puts a New York bridle on a Colorado broncho fed on Iowa corn; plows five acres of land,(covered with Ohio mortage) with a Chatanooga plow. When bedtime comes, he reads a chapter from the Bible printed in Boston; says a prayer written in Jerusalem; crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey; only to be kept awake by fleas,-- the only product of his home state.

(Poem probably circa 1945 just a guess)

WHAT IS DIFFERENT TODAY: THE FLEAS CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, ALL MORTAGES ARE (TOXIC) ,AND EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA.
