Girl Scout cookies and freedom of the press

Freedom of the press and Girl Scout cookies

This is just odd.

Apparently, some poor, oppressed Knoxvillian can’t sell Girl Scout cookies on Craig’s List, even though hundreds of people are doing it on Ebay. Somehow, this becomes a freedom of the press issue and calls into question whether or not we really live in a free country.

Wow.

Driftwood roundup …

It was beautiful on Sunday, so we took the bowrider out for a while to motor around Fort Loudon Lake. After picking up Tom and Jenny, we spotted an amazing piece of driftwood on the inside corner of Park’s Bend.

Tom is an avid driftwood collector, and his efforts have resulted in one of the coolest railings I’ve ever seen. When he saw this piece floating in the lake, he knew he had to grab it. But there was an iceberg effect going on here, with only a small part of the wood poking above the surface. We couldn’t pull it aboard. So we lassoed it with a line and pulled it back to Tom’s dock at idle speed.

Once we got it ashore, we realized it was even larger than we’d thought. Can’t wait till it dries out and Tom incorporates it into his driftwood magnum opus …

When I migrated from Movable Type to WordPress, I realized there’s a lot of crap on here. More than 600 posts over the past seven years. Someone beaming in from the Google Transporter would be hard pressed to figure out what’s going on here. So I’ve pulled together my favorite posts in a single category that I’ve labeled Top Bob.

Here they are.
