I am concerned that he may engage in even more weird behavior. Have you, for example, observed him spray painting grass or vacuuming the the walls of his house?
Lee - No, he's not drunk. He usually heads to the pond (and ends up pulling himself or his JD out of it) when he's drunk.
Monkey - No doubt! I was in the kitchen and I heard him fire that thing up, so I grabbed my camera. I just knew it would be good. I can always count on Phil for things like that.
Dave - No painting the grass. He has washed his house with a pressure washer, but no vacuuming...yet. But, he should get some kind of creative award from JD for the variety of uses he has put that thing to. This one beats them all, though. Frankly, I was suprised - and a little disappointed - that he didn't try to catch the snow in the bagger.
A list of places and events that we love about this area! With a name like this, it has to be Appalachia: Meadows of Dan, VA Mouth of Wilson, VA Laurel Bloomery, TN Loafer's Glory, NC Forks of Ivy, NC
Our home of four years now, where you are always welcome. Come on up to the house, y’all!
The Appalachian Trail at Cross Mountain Road
Easily accessible with stunning views into Virginia and Tennessee. The first half-mile or so of the trail wanders over lush hayfields of a century-old farm and overlooks Shady Valley, including the Nature Conservancy's historically and environmentally important Cranberry Bogs.From there you enter the deep woods where wild turkey, deer, coyote, and other critters roam. This leg of the vast AT is a great day hike or a short walk in the woods.http://www.nps.gov/appa/http://www.appalachiantrail.com/http://www.trailplace.com/
Home to the International Storytelling Center, this town’s main street is a postcard come to life. Music on the Square in the summer, the Storytelling Festival in the fall, and the year-round Contra dances make it a great place to visit anytime.Check out these links for more about things going on in Jonseborough:http://www.musiconthesquare.com/http://www.storytellingcenter.net/http://www.jonesboroughtn.org/
West Jefferson, NC
This sleepy little town came back to life a few years ago when some smart people decided to make it an art gallery destination. Just east of Boone, it makes for a great day of browsing, along with the galleries in Boone and the Churches of the Frescoes.http://www.ashechamber.com/whatstodo7.htm
Churches of the Frescoes
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church in West Jefferson and Holy Trinity in Glendale Springs boast some beautiful frescoes, paintings, and sculptures. The drive is as beautiful as the destination. One of the paintings is by an old school mate of John’s, who still lives in Little Falls!http://www.churchofthefrescoes.com/
I stopped and asked them about their name one day. Seems they used to deal in Ginseng as well as tin cans. Note: Elizabethton Herb and Metal is no more. They are now OmniSource Recycling. Ah well. At least I have my memories!

Maybe he's drunk. Lucky bastard.
Holy crap, that is too funny.

Is this the guy who cut all his trees down?
Nope. That's my other neighbor.
