THE ROAD TO MY GRANDPARENTS CLINE....
Uncle Paul died in the year of 1999 when I was 27, just short of a new beginning for him.
And again I will say I am much like Uncle Paul and will save that story for sometime
later.
If we go back in time again to about 1954 when I was 12, Father was driving the
big family car and just leaving the outskirts of Mt Crawford headed slightly
southeast until he went a around a curve to the right and the headed directly south.
At about a half mile ahead is a very small red barn on left and an large brick
home on the right. Another slight curve to the right a then crossing the bridge over
the north fork of the Shenandoah River and up over the slight hill and to the right
and almost headed directly south again. Father is driving fast as I told you before
with always a plan to press pedal to metal.
I do not remember what farms existed then but I do remember a road to
the left in which Mother became interested in after Father had died and I
will tell you about that tomorrow....

The 2016 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Colombian President Juan Manuel
Santos in Oslo, on Oct. 7, for his work to reach a peace deal to end Colombia's civil war
with the FARC rebels. (Reuters)
By Michael Birnbaum October 7 at 5:52 AM
BRUSSELS – "Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize on Friday for his efforts to end a six-decade civil conflict in his nation, despite
Colombian voters’ shock rejection of a peace deal just days ago .
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that it had made the decision because of
Santos’s landmark efforts to end violence in one of the world’s longest running
conflicts.
But the award was a surprise because of the uncertainty over whether peace will hold
following the Sunday vote that rejected the deal. Many Colombians see it as too
generous to the leftist militia that has battled the Colombian government since the
1960s.
“There is a real danger that the peace process will come to a halt and that civil war will
flare up again,” said Kaci Kullmann Five, a former Norwegian politician who is now
chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. “We hope it will encourage all good
initiatives and all the parties who could make a difference in this process in
Colombia.”"

bureau chief in Moscow and in Berlin, and was an education reporter. Follow

Hurricane Matthew is still a major category 3 storm with winds speed
of 160 miles per hour wind gusts. The eye of the hurricane is just off the
coast of Florida and is expected to hit close to Orlando, Daytona Beach and
Jacksonville within hours with wave heights of 11 feet This hurricane is the
strongest to hit this area in a decades. Over 11 million residents have been
advised to evacuate, but some have to decided to ride out the storm. The
police will not place their officers in danger and I believe I heard that they
will carry body bags when the storm subsides and they can return to the streets.
Savanna, Georgia will experience a storm they have not had in a hundred years.

The heroine epidemic continues to be a major concern and there are
are no good plans on how to deal with it. So far in the state of Ohio, 380
people have died because of heroin overdoses.
Operation Exodus was a bust against a local drug gang that officers say was
a success.
SPORTS
Listening to the TV.
The local professional baseball team (Cleveland Indians) won the first game of
of their play off series over the visiting Boston Red Socks in front of 37,000 red
towel-waving plus fans. The second game will be played again at First Energy
Stadium at 4:38 PM and then the series will move to Boston.
MY OPINION
I'm very friendly as you know by now and I talked to a woman who related the
following story to me.
She said that she had asked her husband to go to their pharmacy and get her
a douche. She said he wouldn't do it because he would be embarrassed and he
did not like sneaking around the pharmacy with wary eyes, finding the douche,
making sure no other customers saw him with the douche and then waiting
until the line at the counter was gone and then going to the counter and paying
for it and looking the other way like he was guilty of something.
This man is certainly not free. He has restricted his actions by social norms
of years ago and his life is not my life.
Go in to the pharmacy and ask, where is the douche, the tampons, Preparation H,
prophylactics, and other items needed for the groin/butt area of both women and
men.
The woman said that it was an everyday thing that people needed and could
not understand her husband's behavior and I certainly agreed with her.
BE FREE!

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
The only thing I accomplished in the flower gardens was to water. I did go to
Lowes where I bought 3 bags of black mulch, 1 bag of top soil, some more
ficus grass seed and another perinnal that was on sale for $1.
I then went to Walmart to pick up some more things I needed and then left
Wooster to go to Orrville to pick up some prescriptions. Like I said yesterday,
Dr Bhargava at the Cleveland Clinic prescribed another medication that I'm
sure I don't need. Now I am still taking medications for the rash I had, for
my sore lower back and now a new pill that's added to all that. I feel like a
a drug addict.
I told you all in a much earlier story that I have medications whose names I
have changed in order to remember them: Depakote to Drop a Coat, Sara-quill
to Sara Palin and the new drug, Metropolo to Marco Polo.
Sure seems the right thing to do.
