I've always wondered how Air Force pilots get their unique callsigns? Do they get to pick their own callsigns or are the names hoisted upon them? Are they always unique? And if not, whaddya do when you have two pilots in the air with the same callsign?

Could someone provide the name of a good, reliable and reasonable handyman? I need some work done on my baseboards, porch and in need of new front steps.

I was watching the news over the weekend and saw how Jimmy Carter is trying desperately to get people to come to his funeral. I thought about how sad it is that a man as bright as he was, could have squandered so much of his life looking for power and accolades. He says he wants to be buried in Plains, even though he says he could be buried anywhere. Well, why not in Europe? or In Venezula. Or some other third world country where the dictatorship has be enamored by his socialistic rhetoric?

I took in "A Christmas Survival Guide" at The Legacy Theatre in Tyrone yesterday and thought I'd post my thoughts.

The theatre itself is amazing, as is the fact that they got it all done in time to open the day after Thanksgiving. It is beautifuly decorated inside and the theatre (seats, stage, etc.) are first class. There's not a bad seat in the house and the seats are all comfortable.

Has anyone else noticed that Loco's has closed it's doors? I heard rumor of it on Friday afternoon while dining at another restaurant in Fayetteville.

Have you read the excerpts of Rumsfeld’s memo to President Bush? I believe he has some valid points; with the situation in Iraq not getting any better, is this not worth looking into?

I want to be as charitable as possible in saying what I am going to say, but I feel this is a very important matter. I need to pass in front of Landmark Christian School every morning on my way to work.

I put together a reply regarding McDonoughDawg's comments. My comments appear in bold below his.

McDonoughDawg said:

When I first read this, I was stunned! Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota was recently elected to the U.S. congress. Keith is a Muslim and has said that he will not take the oath of office on a Bible but will do so on a Koran. What is the county coming? This is the same state that elected Jesse Ventura as a Governor, not surprised.

Morgan and Brown don't exist. Tennis Center settled months ago--we didn't know! Suddenly we have another development authority instead of a tourism association, don't we? I'm confused. Where are the tourists?

Mayor Says No Tax Increase Expected From $920K Lawsuit Settlement

“The bond payment isn’t going to be that great,” Logsdon said. “I do not see a tax increase in the immediate future for this.” The city does face some tough budget-related decisions in the future, however, he added.

Oh my, Bob W. Morgan was congratulated for being upstanding and honestly attaching his name to his posts. LOL! Please "just say NO." You smoke too much of that stuff and you can't think straight. Stuff like that will ruin your lunch hour!

Mister Epps,

In regards to your calling us anonymous blogger cowards I submit to you that you truly need to Git Real. Your praise of Robert W. Morgans courage in using his name is truly laughable.

How does Steve Brown manage to write a letter to the editor (actually many letters) that address recent news items that appear on the front page of the same issue of the paper? Most of us read the news when it is published - Wednesday in the paper or Tuesday night on the website and we make our comments then. Brown, on the other hand has his comments printed in the very same paper that contains the news.

Flat Creek is allowing me to cancel my membership as long as I can find somebody to take it over! So if you want to join canongate golf clubs and play all of their facilities including Flat Creek, Planterra, Braelinn without having to pay the initiation fee (A 300-500 dollar value!) email me if you are interested sfsgolf@yahoo.com

Must have been too much turkey. I happened by the Starr's Mill School complex this weekend for the first time in a long time apparently; it's not on my regular circuit.

A metro Atlanta single mother tired of working two jobs and not seeing her child makes a change and the results are outstanding.

A new book coming out will describe how conservatives contribute more than liberals to charity and charitable causes. This, in spite of the fact that liberals make more money on average than conservatives.

Any football team that can't get enough touchdowns to beat the other team, loses! A couple of dropped passes or missed tackles, usually happens in most games. They are not usually the reason you lose. Anyway I can't ever imagine Brett Favre fingering toward the crowd after losing. He also throws the ball quite often to a spot where there is no one, but someone usually shows up there at the right time to catch it. All the prancing and dancing and waiting for full clearance makes for a ball thrown too straight and hard. The Falcons have Bravesitis: too much money into one or two players, too little into many others. If the taxi squad is pitiful, then injuries do play a role.

The meeting on the bailout of the development authority scandal loans is November 29 at 6:30 PM. There have been several great discussions on this web site regarding the matter. Here are some articles on the matter to help you make up your mind. I will post some others tomorrow.

Anyone been to the new Onyxx restaurant?

With the prices that they charge, I predict that they will close the doors within 6 months.
