Today is Friday, Feb. 10, the 41st day of 2012. There are 325 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On Feb. 10, 1962, the Soviet Union exchanged captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy held by the United States. In 1998, newly declassified information revealed that Powers’ mission had been a joint USAF/CIA operation. In 2000, on the 40th anniversary of the U-2 Incident, his family was presented his posthumously awarded Prisoner of War Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, and National Defense Service Medal. In addition, CIA Director George Tenet authorized Powers to posthumously receive the CIA's coveted Director's Medal for extreme fidelity and extraordinary courage in the line of duty.^[11] He was awarded the CIA's Intelligence Star in 1963 after his return

Bike Trails are a Great Place to get some Exercise

A short drive from Lancaster,Ohio to Newark,Ohio and some Quality Time on the TJ Evans bike trail.

(After my stroke I’ve found walking to be a great way to recover.)

“The TJ Evans Trail moves through woods, pastures and farmlands giving occasional glimpses of a creek that runs alongside and a river along the campus connector along Rt. 16.”

Trail End Points: West Newark to Johnstown
Counties: Licking..Gotta go thru the “tunnel”

Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece. I’m sure this graffiti isn’t ancient. LOL. Out the other side

Trail Length: 14.2 miles
Trail Category: Rail-Trail

Trail Surfaces: Asphalt

Trail Activities: Bike, Inline Skating, Fishing, Wheelchair Accessible, Walking, etc.

“This is a great ride on those scorching hot summer days. Most of the bikeway is lined with an abundance of foliage that gives the effect of riding through a long, green tunnel.” A great place to do some “reflecting.”

Back in 1994-95 when I lived in Newark,Ohio I would jog on this trail in the evenings after work. (no night access today) On summer evenings this field was filled with thousands of fireflies.A sight I will never forget. I’ve also “biked” this trail a couple times and found it an enjoyable experience.

Many sections also interact with Raccoon Creek, a small stream that runs east to feed the Licking River.

If you're unable to do the entire length, the most picturesque stretch appears just after passing the  metal grain elevators of the Granville Milling Co.

In one spot, you've got pastures on your left and right sides, with cows giving you their blank trademark stare.(No cows today)

From the “Mill” in Granville it is just a short walk downtown where you will find some great places to eat. Linda and I met each other in Newark and we would often drive or walk to Granville and eat at:

And now a mystery photo. Do you have any idea what this is a photo of or what it is for? I didn’t till I asked another trail walker.

That’s all folks. Thanks for stopping by. Oh you want to know what the mystery photo is. Ok “Housing for feral cats”  Feral cat colonies and homeless cats in the Licking County area of Central Ohio are cared for by Trapping, Neutering, and Returning (TNR) the ferals to their colonies or adopting them to caring homes when possible. That is what I was told.

A short drive from Lancaster,Ohio to Newark,Ohio and some Quality Time on the TJ Evans bike trail.

A My Quality Time post………………On this excursion I walked from Newark to Granville and back. I guess I’m getting better LOL….

MishMash Monday & One Good Stock Tip

COMING FROM LANCASTER,OHIO A MY QUALITY TIME POST.MISHMASH MONDAY AND ONE GREAT STOCK TIP. DON’T FORGET TO REINVEST THOSE DIVIDENDS.

I was in Starbucks recently for a coffee and carrot muffin, when I suddenly realized I had a desperate need to fart. There were a lot of people standing around and I didn't want to give up my seat. The music was really, really loud so I timed my farts with the beat of the music.
After a couple of songs I started to feel better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me! And suddenly I remembered ..................... I was listening to my iPod……….............. and how was your day?

 Maxine at a much younger age. When Maxine applied to Hooters they just gave her a bra and said, "Here fill this out.”

“Defensive investors like high dividend yielding stocks and consider them as reliable options that can provide consistent returns year after year. Historically high dividend stocks outperformed the rest of the market despite being less volatile and risky than the rest of the market. Younger investors who aren't targeting 7%-plus dividend yields can especially invest in dividend stocks that are increasing earnings at higher rates. These stocks can potentially boost their dividend payments significantly as their earnings keep going up.” READ MORE  My  favorite is $NLY……”Annaly Capital Management Inc  has a high dividend yield and high EPS growth rate. Its dividend yield is 13.56% and its EPS grew at 23.04% per year in the past five years. Annaly owns, manages, and finances a portfolio of real estate related investments.”  Yes I do own $NLY and have for several years….If you are not interested in investments then::::
