The road was named Imboden and Mother and I traveled down that road maybe
about 10 years ago (2006). It wound around for about two miles or so to a turn
around area where Imboden Road ended because of Interstate 81.
I googled Imboden and received the following:

About 1954 again and Father continues to drive (US Route 11 south) upwards
and past CC Rosen & Sons, a tire dealer who besides being an excellent
merchant of tires, does repairs that relate to a vehicle's stabilization. Was
CC Rosen & Sons there in that year? I do not know, but I know that Father
used their services in his lifetime here on earth.

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.
Among the surprises of the award was that it was offered to Santos alone, rather than to
Santos and his partner in the peace efforts, the leader of the FARC rebels, Rodrigo
Londoño, who goes by the alias Timochenko.
Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos (C) makes the victory/peace sign with wife
Kullman Five declined to comment on why Londoño was not included. Analysts said it
may have been politically difficult to honor the leader of a guerilla force in a conflict
that does not appear fully resolved.
The 52-year-old war has killed 220,000 people and displaced 7 million. Santos called
last Sunday’s referendum expecting an easy ratification of a years-long peace effort.
Instead, he lost by a razor-thin margin of 50.21 to 49.78 percent, throwing the deal into
uncertainty.
“We have to decide what path to take so that peace will be possible,” Santos said in the
aftermath of the referendum. “I won’t give up.”
Londoño, who has been negotiating the deal from Havana, has also said that he
remains committed to peace.
But the future of the efforts are in flux. Ordinary FARC soldiers have already spent
months laying down their arms and preparing to rejoin their families. Any new deal
will likely include harsher penalties for those who have taken part in the fight. Many
rebels have spent decades in the jungle.
Santos faced a major challenge from his former political benefactor and predecessor
as Colombia’s leader, Álvaro Uribe, who led the successful effort to derail the peace
accord. Uribe is a fierce critic of the FARC rebel leaders who said the peace deal let
them off too lightly.
Santos has staked his legacy on the peace deal, leaving him politically weakened in
the aftermath of Sunday’s vote.
The prize committee considered a record 376 nominations this year for the prestigious
award. Other top contenders this year had been the negotiators of the Iran nuclear
deal, the Syrian activists who rescue bombing victims, and Svetlana Gannushkina, a
fierce advocate for migrants’ rights in Russia.
The award comes at a particularly fraught time for peace around the world. Efforts to
impose a cease-fire in the grinding conflict in Syria have collapsed amid the worst
violence in the five-year war. Colombia faces uncertain prospects as leaders regroup
following the rejection of the peace deal.
Europe, which threw open its doors to refugees last year, has now sealed its borders
following a voter backlash. It just inked a controversial deal with war-torn Afghanistan
to send back an unlimited number of deportees.
Last year’s Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to an alliance of Tunisian workers, lawyers,
employers and activists that helped preserve democracy in the country that gave birth
to the Arab Spring. The award to the so-called Quartet was meant to honor Tunisia’s
major steps toward democratic rule while also encouraging it to go farther as the other
nations that took part in the Arab Spring have struggled under the weight of violence,
coups and dashed dreams.
The prize, which was first awarded in 1901, is the most prestigious of the series of
awards endowed by the Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel.

Hurricane Matthew kills almost 900 in Haiti before hitting U.S.
Hurricane Matthew lashes Daytona Beach 01:04
By Joseph Guyler Delva and Scott Malone | PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI/DAYTONA
BEACH, FLA.
"Hurricane Matthew killed almost 900 people and displaced tens of thousands in Haiti
before plowing northward on Saturday just off the southeast U.S. coast and causing
major flooding and widespread power outages.
The number of deaths in Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas, surged to at least
877 on Friday as information trickled in from remote areas previously cut off by the
storm, according to a Reuters tally of death tolls given by officials.
Matthew triggered mass evacuations along the U.S. Atlantic coast from Florida
northward through Georgia and into South Carolina and North Carolina. President
Barack Obama urged people not to be complacent and to heed safety instructions.
"The potential for storm surge, loss of life and severe property damage exists," Obama
told reporters after a briefing with emergency management officials about the fiercest
cyclone to affect the United States since Superstorm Sandy four years ago.
Matthew smashed through Haiti's western peninsula on Tuesday with 145 mph (233
kph) winds and torrential rain. Some 61,500 people were in shelters, officials said,
after the storm hurled the sea into fragile coastal villages, some of which were only
now being contacted.
While highlighting the misery of underdevelopment in Haiti, which is still recovering
from a devastating 2010 earthquake, the storm looked certain to rekindle debate about
global warming and the long-term threat posed by rising sea levels to low-lying cities
and towns.
At least three towns in the hills and coast of Haiti's fertile western tip reported dozens of
people killed, including the farming village of Chantal where the mayor said 86
people died, mostly when trees crushed houses. He said 20 others were missing.
"A tree fell on the house and flattened it. The entire house fell on us. I couldn’t get out,"
said 27-year-old driver Jean-Pierre Jean-Donald.
"People came to lift the rubble, and then we saw my wife who had died in the same
spot," said Jean-Donald, who had been married for only a year. His young daughter
stood by his side, crying "Mommy."
With cellphone networks down and roads flooded, aid has been slow to reach hard-hit
areas in Haiti. Food was scarce and at least seven people died of cholera, likely
because of flood water mixing with sewage.
The Mesa Verde, a U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship, was heading for Haiti to
support relief efforts. The ship has heavy-lift helicopters, bulldozers, fresh-water
delivery vehicles and two surgical operating rooms.
FOUR KILLED IN FLORIDA
Matthew sideswiped Florida's coast with winds of up to 120 mph (195 kph) but did not
make landfall there. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) downgraded the storm
to a Category 2 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity as its
sustained winds dropped to 110 mph. Category 5 is the strongest.
There were at least four storm-related deaths in Florida but no immediate reports of
significant damage in cities and towns where Matthew swamped streets, toppled trees
and knocked out power to more than 1 million households and businesses. About
300,000 households and businesses were without power in Georgia and South
Carolina, according to utility companies.
Two people in Florida were killed by falling trees, according to state officials, and an
elderly couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator while sheltering
from the storm inside a garage.
Hurricane warnings early on Saturday extended up the Atlantic coast from northeast
Florida through Georgia and South Carolina and into North Carolina.
Flash flood warnings were also in effect as 15 inches (40 cm) of rain was expected to
accumulate in parts of the region along with storm surges and high tides, the National
Weather Service said.
Several major roadways were flooded in Charleston, South Carolina, where water
topped a wall at The Battery and was inundating White Point Gardens, a large
downtown park, local media reported early on Saturday.
At 4 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT), Matthew's eye was about 30 miles (45 km) south-southeast of
Hilton Head, South Carolina, and moving northward at 12 mph (19 kph), the NHC said.
Wind gusts of more than 60 mph (100 kph) were reported in South Carolina.
Standing water closed both directions of the Interstate 95 highway in Georgia. Some 8
inches (20 cm) of rain had fallen in the Savannah, Georgia area where Matthew
downed trees and caused flooding of streets, local emergency officials reported.
Earlier on Friday in Daytona Beach, Florida the street under the city's famed "World's
Most Famous Beach" sign was clogged with debris washed up by the ocean. The waves
had receded by early afternoon but there was damage throughout the city, including a
facade ripped off the front of a seaside hotel.
FACT BOX Hurricane Matthew leaves nearly 1.2 million in U.S. Southeast powerless
Though gradually weakening, Matthew was forecast to remain a hurricane until it
begins moving away from the U.S. Southeast on Sunday, according to the NHC.
RELUCTANT TO LEAVE
Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said he was
concerned that relatively light damage so far could give people up the coast a false
sense of security.
"People should not be looking at the damages they're seeing and saying this storm is
not that bad," Fugate told NBC.
"The real danger still is storm surge, particularly in northern Florida and southern
Georgia. These are very vulnerable areas. They've never seen this kind of damage
potential since the late 1800s."
In St. Augustine just south of Jacksonville, Florida, about half of the 14,000 residents
refused to heed evacuation orders despite warnings of an 8-foot (2.4-meter) storm
surge that could inundate entire neighborhoods, Mayor Nancy Shaver said in a
telephone interview from the area’s emergency operations center.
Television images later showed water swirling through streets in the historic downtown
district of St. Augustine, the oldest U.S. city and a major tourist attraction.
“There's that whole inability to suspend disbelief that I think really affects people in a
time like this,” Shaver said.

The Weather Channel
Hurricane Mathew Story Highlights
"Category 2 Matthew's eyewall is raking the South Carolina coast.
Heavy rain and storm surge will combine to trigger major flooding in coastal Georgia
and the Carolinas.
The magnitude of the flooding in coastal South Carolina could match last October.
Hurricane-force winds will also impact the coastal Carolinas.
The threat for tornadoes is also in play in parts of the Carolinas.
Storm surge flooding has caused devastation along the northeast Florida coast.
Matthew will then meander off the Southeast coast or near the Bahamas well into next
week.
Hurricane Matthew's eyewall is continuing a march along South Carolina's coast, now
targeting the city of Charleston with destuctive winds to add to major storm surge and
flooding from heavy rain.
This siege of impacts, even including a threat of tornadoes, will slowly march up the
coast to southern North Carolina after hammering coastal Georgia and northeast
Florida Friday."

Rugby league football,.... usually called rugby league,.... is a full contact sport played
by two teams of thirteen players on a rectangular field.... One of the two codes of
rugby football, it originated in England in 1895 as a split from the Rugby Football
Union over the issue of payments to players.... Its rules gradually changed to produce
a faster,.... more entertaining game for spectators....which is frequently cited as the
most physically demanding team sport....
In rugby league, points are scored by carrying the ball and touching it to the ground
beyond the opposing team's goal line; this is called a try, and is the primary method of
scoring.... The opposing team attempts to stop the attacking side scoring points by
tackling the player carrying the ball.... In addition to tries, points can be scored by
kicking goals. After each try, the scoring team gains a free kick to try at goal with a
conversion for further points.... Kicks at goal may also be awarded for penalties, and
field goals can be attempted at any time.
Rugby league is a popular sport in Northern England,.... the states of Queensland and
New South Wales in Australia,....New Zealand,.... southwest France, and Papua New
Guinea where it is the national sport.... The European Super League and
Australasian National Rugby League (NRL) are the premier club competitions. Rugby
league is played internationally, predominantly by European, Australasian and Pacific
Island countries, and is governed by the Rugby League International Federation. The
first Rugby League World Cup was held in France in 1954; the current holders are
Australia...."

MY OPINION
Donald Trump seems to get in more trouble each day because he does not
think before he talks and revelations of his past, as seen above, are adding
to his possible downfall.
Although the "Evangelicals (are) Not Deterred by Trump Comments,"
the Russians remain loyal to him and has the support of the NRA, he will
need more than this to gain any ground on Hillary Clinton.
And the person he needs the most if he would be elected president is Paul
Ryan, leader of the senate who is "'Sickened' by Trump Tape, (and) Cancels
(his) Campaign Swing.""

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
I got a lot accomplished yesterday. I threw out the fiscus grass seed in the barren
areas of the yard and then watered those same areas and the flowerbeds.
I then weeded the new back bed which I have neglected and put down 3 bags of
black mulch which helps to retain water for the flowers/plants and helps keep
weeds from growing.
It's misting rain outside right now (7:11 AM 10/8/2016), but it is suppose to clear
up by this afternoon and one important thing I forgot about is to video the flower
gardens. If I wait until tomorrow it might be too late. We are suppose to get a
low of 39 degrees tonight. Hopefully, I can make that video today.
