THE ROAD TO MY GRANDPARENTS CLINE....
There is a city park, a dentist, Bridgewater Home housing on the left now,
but I do not remember what was there then as Father continued to drive
upward near the top and maybe Mother seeing a yellow road sign that
indicated a sharp turn to the right. Now Father and the big family car
headed east with the sun above our heads to the top of this short cut road
where a family farm, maybe was on the left. There was nothing else on
the right that I remember, where now there's new housing and a large
church (Bridgewater Brethen) that's just down the hill and west from the
new housing and overlooks, like 'Christ the Redeemer', the town that
shares its name and sees the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains to
the west.
When I last walked this road one of the houses that were not there at that
time was further back from the road and two dogs would come out from
somewhere around the house and barking loudly to protect their master/
mistress. They would only come out half way and seeing that I posed no
danger to their family they returned to there place near the house. And I
would continue walking on the left facing traffic like my Mother always
talked about....

Syria war: Those bombing Aleppo 'must answer to God' - Pope
"Pope Francis has decried the bombing of Aleppo in Syria, saying
those responsible for killing civilians will have to answer to God.
Speaking at a public audience in St Peter's Square in Rome, he called
it "an already martyred city, where everybody is dying".
Russian-backed Syrian government forces have launched a fierce
campaign to take control of rebel-held eastern areas.
Air strikes continued to hit the besieged districts overnight.
Pope Francis urged all sides to "commit themselves with all their
strength to protect civilians".
"This is an imperative and urgent obligation. I appeal to the
consciences of those responsible for the bombings, who will one
day will have to account to God," he said.
Why are so many children dying in Aleppo?
Why Assad wants to take Aleppo
Attacks on Syria's aid workers are 'unconscionable'
Children suffer horrors of Syria's war
Reports citing medical workers say that two major hospitals in
rebel-held eastern Aleppo were put out of service by air raids
overnight.
But one activist in the city tells the BBC that the hospitals still
appear to be operational.
Quentin Somerville reports
In the past few days, pro-government forces have begun ground
operations to try to recapture more territory from rebel forces.
They have made advances in the city centre, reports say.
The government of President Bashar al-Assad and its Russian backers
have been accused of war crimes and "barbarism" by the US and its
Western allies, who back the rebels.
Moscow has vigorously denied the allegations and criticised their
"unacceptable" rhetoric.
Since the start of the government assault last Thursday, Syrian rebels
have been supplied with a new type of surface-to-surface Grad rocket
by their foreign backers, a rebel commander told the Reuters news
agency.
The rockets, supplied "in excellent quantities", will be used in Aleppo,
Hama and the Mediterranean coastal region, Fares al-Baoush said.
It was not clear which foreign states supplied the rockets.
Aleppo, once Syria's largest city and the country's commercial and
industrial hub, has been divided roughly in two since 2012, with
President Bashar al-Assad's forces controlling the west and rebel
factions the east.
Air strikes are a constant feature of life in rebel-held parts of Aleppo
In the past year, government troops have gradually broken the
deadlock with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air
strikes. Earlier this month, they severed the rebels' last route into
the east and placed its 250,000 residents under siege.
Children in Aleppo have made up a large proportion of casualties
from air strikes, according to aid groups. At least 100,000 children
remain trapped in the city.
In the government-held west, 49 children were killed by rebel shelling
in July alone, the New York Times reports, citing the Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights.
On Tuesday, the US pledged to provide an extra $364m (£276m) in
humanitarian aid to people affected by the Syrian war.
The World Health Organization meanwhile called for the "immediate
establishment of humanitarian routes" into Aleppo, where hospitals are
running out of supplies and rubble-strewn streets are preventing
ambulances from getting through."
US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Michelle Obama: 'We need an adult in the White House'
28 September 2016 Last updated at 21:15 BST
"Michelle Obama has taken aim at Republican White House hopeful
Donald Trump, saying "a president can’t just pop off" when he or she
is upset.
Speaking at a rally in Philadelphia for Democratic nominee Hillary
Clinton, the first lady said: "We need someone who is steady and
measured, because when making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions,
a president can’t just pop
off or lash out irrationally. No, we need an adult in the White House."
While Mrs Obama did not mention the businessman by name, she
left little doubt whom she was referring to as she condemned the birther
movement's "hurtful, deceitful questions" aimed at undermining her
husband's presidency."

FATHER AND/OR MOTHER
"I can remember Father singing 'me o my o' and that's all I remember.
I googled 'me o my o' and came up with a song written and sang by Hank
Willams called "Jambalaya (On The Bayou)""
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Personal life
"On December 15, 1944, Williams married Audrey Sheppard. It was her
second marriage and his first. Their son, Randall Hank Williams, who
would achieve fame in his own right as Hank Williams, Jr., was born on
May 26, 1949. The marriage, always turbulent, rapidly disintegrated,
and Williams developed a serious problem with alcohol, morphine,
and other painkillers prescribed for him to ease the severe back pain
caused by his spina bifida.[12] The couple divorced on May 29, 1952....
In June 1952, Williams moved in with his mother, even as he released
numerous hit songs, such as "Half as Much" in April, "Jambalaya (On the
Bayou)" in July, "Settin' the Woods on Fire"/"You Win Again" in
September, and "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" in November.
His drug problems continued to spiral out of control as he moved to
Nashville and officially divorced his wife.... A relationship with a
woman named Bobbie Jett during this period resulted in a daughter,
Jett Williams, who was born five days after Williams' death. His mother
adopted Jett, who was made a ward of the state and then adopted by
another couple after her grandmother died. Jett Williams did not learn
that she was Hank Williams' daughter until the early 1980s....
On October 18, 1952, Williams and Billie Jean Jones Eshlimar were
married in Minden, Louisiana by a justice of the peace....It was the
second marriage for both (both being divorced with children).... The
next day two public ceremonies were also held at the New Orleans
Civic Auditorium, where 14,000 seats were sold for each.... After
Williams' death, a judge ruled that the wedding was not legal
because Jones Eshlimar's divorce had not become final until eleven
days after she married Williams. Williams' first wife, Audrey, and
his mother, Lillie Williams, were the driving forces behind having
the marriage declared invalid and pursued the matter for years.
Williams had also married Audrey Sheppard before her divorce
was final, on the tenth day of a required sixty-day reconciliation
period....
Williams was a lifelong Republican and was a vocal supporter of
Dwight D. Eisenhower. According to singer Jo Stafford, he sent
Eisenhower a telegram on his birthday prior to the 1952 presidential
election informing him that Williams considered it a personal honor
to endorse a military figure to lead the nation in its coming future....
Legacy
Hank is widely recognized as "The King Of Country Music", a title he
shares with fellow artists Roy Acuff and George Strait.
Hank Williams' star at 6400 Hollywood Boulevard, on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame
Alabama governor Gordon Persons officially proclaimed
September 21 "Hank Williams Day." The first celebration, in 1954
featured the unveiling of a monument at the Cramton Bowl, that was
later placed in the grave site of Williams. The ceremony featured
Ferlin Husky interpreting "I Saw the Light....
Williams had 11 number one hits in his career ("Lovesick Blues",
"Long Gone Lonesome Blues", "Why Don't You Love Me", "Moanin'
the Blues", "Cold, Cold Heart", "Hey, Good Lookin'", "Jambalaya
(On the Bayou)", "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive", "Kaw-Liga",
"Your Cheatin' Heart", and "Take These Chains from My Heart"), as
well as many other top ten hits....
On February 8, 1960, Williams' star was placed at 6400 Hollywood
Boulevard on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.... He was inducted into
the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1961 and into the Alabama
Music Hall of Fame in 1985.... When Downbeat magazine took a poll
the year after Hank's death, he was voted the most popular country
and Western performer of all time—ahead of such giants as Jimmie
Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Red Foley, and Ernest Tubb.... In 1977, a national
organization of CB truck drivers voted "Your Cheatin' Heart" as their
favorite record of all time.... In 1987, he was inducted in the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame under the category Early Influence.... He was ranked
second in CMT's 40 Greatest Men of Country Music in 2003, behind
only Johnny Cash. His son, Hank Jr., was ranked on the same list....
In 2004 Rolling Stone ranked him number 74 on its list of the
100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[93] The website Acclaimedmusic,
which collates recommendations of albums and recording artists, has
a year-by-year recommendation for top artists. Hank Williams is ranked
first for the decade 1940–1949 for his song "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".
Many artists of the 1950s and 1960s, including Elvis Presley,.... Bob
Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard,.... Gene Vincent,.... Carl
Perkins,.... Ricky Nelson,.... Jack Scott,.... and Conway Twitty
recorded Williams songs during their careers.
In 2011 Williams' 1949 MGM number one hit, "Lovesick Blues", was
inducted into the Recording Academy Grammy Hall of Fame.... The
same year Hank Williams: The Complete Mother’s Best Recordings….
Plus! was honored with a Grammy nomination for Best Historical
Album.... In 1999, Williams was inducted into the Native American
Music Hall of Fame.... On April 12, 2010, the Pulitzer Prize Board
awarded Williams a posthumous special citation that paid tribute
to his "craftsmanship as a songwriter who expressed universal feelings
with poignant simplicity and played a pivotal role in transforming
country music into a major musical and cultural force in American life".
Keeping his legacy alive, Williams' son, Hank Williams, Jr., daughter
Jett Williams, grandson Hank Williams III, and granddaughters Hilary
Williams and Holly Williams are also country musicians....
In 2006, a janitor of Sony/ATV Music Publishing found in a dumpster
the unfinished lyrics written by Williams that had been found in his
car the night he died. The worker claimed that she sold Williams' notes
to a representative of the Honky-Tonk Hall of Fame and the Rock-N-Roll
Roadshow. The janitor was accused of theft, but the charges were later
dropped when a judge determined that her version of events was true.
The unfinished lyrics were later returned to Sony/ATV, which handed
them to Bob Dylan in 2008 to complete the songs for a new album.
Ultimately, the completion of the album included recordings by Alan
Jackson, Norah Jones, Jack White, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill, Rodney
Crowell, Patty Loveless, Levon Helm, Jakob Dylan, Sheryl Crow and
Merle Haggard. The album, named The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams
was released on October 4, 2011....
Material recorded by Williams, originally intended for radio broadcasts
to be played when he was on tour, or for its distribution to radio stations
nationwide resurfaced throughout time.... In 1993, a double-disc
set of recordings of Williams for the Health & Happiness Show was
released.[109] Broadcast in 1949, the shows were recorded for the
promotion of Hadacol. The set was re-released on Hank Williams:
The Legend Begins in 2011. The album included unreleased songs.
"Fan It" and "Alexander's Ragtime Band", recorded by Williams at age
fifteen; the homemade recordings of him singing "Freight Train Blues",
"New San Antonio Rose", "St. Louis Blues" and "Greenback Dollar" at
age eighteen; and a recording for the 1951 March of Dimes.... In
May 2014, further radio recordings by Williams were released. The
Garden Spot Programs, 1950, a series of publicity segments for plant
nursery Naughton Farms originally aired in 1950. The recordings
were found by collector George Gimarc at radio station KSIB in
Creston, Iowa.... Gimarc contacted Williams' daughter Jett, and Colin
Escott, writer of a biography book on Williams. The material was
restored and remastered by Michael Graves and released by Omnivore
Recordings....
In June 2014 it was announced that British actor Tom Hiddleston would
portray Williams in the upcoming biopic I Saw the Light, based on Colin
Escott's 1994 book Hank Williams: The Biography. Marc Abraham is
directing the film. Filming took place in October through December 2014
and the film is set to release sometime in 2015....
Lawsuits over the estate
After Williams' death, Audrey Williams filed a suit in Nashville against
MGM Records and Acuff-Rose. The suit demanded that both of the
publishing companies continue to pay her half of the royalties from
Hank Williams' records. Williams had an agreement giving his first
wife half of the royalties, but allegedly there was no clarification that the
deal was valid after his death. Because Williams may have left no will,
the disposition of the other fifty percent was considered uncertain; those
involved included the second Mrs. Williams and her daughter and Hank
Williams' mother and sister.... On October 22, 1975, a federal judge
in Atlanta, Georgia, finally ruled Jones Eshlimar's marriage was valid
and that half of Williams' future royalties belonged to her....
WSM's Mother's Best Flour....
In 1951, Williams hosted a fifteen-minute show for Mother's Best flour in
WSM radio. Due to Williams' tour schedules some of the shows were
previously recorded to be played in his absence.... The original
acetates were in possession of Jett Williams, while existing duplicates
were found and intended to be published by a third party. In
February 2005, the Tennessee Court of Appeals upheld a lower court
ruling stating that Williams' heirs—son, Hank Williams Jr., and daughter,
Jett Williams—have the sole rights to sell his recordings made for a
Nashville radio station in 1951. The court rejected claims made by
Polygram Records and Legacy Entertainment in releasing recordings
Williams made for the Mother's Best Flour Show. The recordings, which
Legacy Entertainment acquired in 1997, include live versions of Williams'
hits and his cover version of other songs. Polygram contended that
Williams' contract with MGM Records, which Polygram now owns, gave
them rights to release the radio recordings. A 3-CD selection of the
tracks, restored by Joe Palmaccio, was released by Time-Life in
October 2008 titled The Unreleased Recordings...."
HEALTH
Listening to the TV. Research conducted by a research group says that a person
who has kidney stones can pass them if they ride a roller coaster. The success
rate is about 60%.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today we are Homo sapiens, and before that Neanderthal and before that
Homo erectus (meaning upright man (woman)). Homo erectus may mean
sitting or standing.
I believe that the more you stand the better your health. I talked about the
2 county fairs that Ryan and I went to, where in 4 visits total and about
3 hours each day and a total of 12 hours, I sat down for about 1 hour to drive
to and from the fairs and 15 minutes of that was to phone my brother, Roland.
Listening to the TV again. Research conducted believes that they have
developed a procedure to kill only cancer cells and not healthy ones.
They believe that with a little more research and FDA approval, this will
prevent, to a large extent, both the physical and mental pain of radiation
and chemotherapy.

because that's what people like, that's what the weather forecasters do.
IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
I made a mistake yesterday by lifting a bag of top soil partially with my
back and not fully with my arms and as a result I'm having lower back
pain. I managed to painfully dump the 2 bags of top soil and then decided
to go to Walmart again to get a hair straightener that someone had told me
about. My hair is about 3 inches down past my shoulders now just a little
short of making a braid.
After finishing our shopping, we went to McDonald's and we both had
chicken wraps, Ryan had crispy, I had grilled and we both shared a large
order of french fries and large drinks (all drinks at McDonald's are only a
dollar).
It rained most of yesterday and will continue to rain for the next 2 or 3
days, so I do not know, with pain in my lower back, what I'll be able to do
today.
