Here’s a webpage that gives an idea about places to visit and things to do in Georgia’s Lake Country. I still haven’t seen Rock Eagle though I have driven by that area several times looking for property. People used to talk about it when I was growing up because the 4-H Clubs went there, I think.
I ate at McCray’s Taven on the Square in Lawrenceville with my friend, Greg, the other day. He felt sorry for me I guess when he agreed to meet me. But not sorry enough that he picked up the tab. It was raining buckets. So, being smart guys, we ate inside. I had, on the waitress’ recommendation, a smoked salmon taco or something like that. It had a sauce that was scrumptious. The fries were not too greasy but crispy just the way I like them. The waitress was friendly and I would like to go back and try the roof tables when the weather warms up.
Please get help. God gave all of us a combination of talents, abilities, gifts, and personalities that do make each of us unique. There is no one else like me or you. Even when life seems to be not worthwhile, look for something good. Yes, this world is full of evil and sadness and pain. Yet, there is still love and mercy and beauty and justice too although I know sometimes it seems hard to find. We need each other and, if we reach out, we might find others looking for us too.
I am in the real estate business. It has been horrible for me especially since our firms’s focus had been on finding land for developers. Well, the latest stats I have seen say that metro Atlanta has 120,000 developed lots already on the ground and ready to go. Gee, I guess I need to focus somewhere else, you think? I’ve had to realize that my value as person is not based on my income or my net worth or my influence. If it is, then I am in trouble. God can teach me better now because I am listening more intently. Maybe give Him a try.
Today was unusual in that I met my brother-in-law for lunch at Matthews Cafeteria in Tucker, Georgia. We have hardly ever gotten together in 19 years and he said he owed me for lunch although I could not remember the last time I had bought him a meal. Anyway, he was adamant about it so I agreed even though I had asked him to meet.
Matthews was, in the last year, on one of the Food Network shows, Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. You can guess which one it qualified under. After getting berated by my brother-in-law for getting a big piece of baked fish instead of country-fried steak, we found a table and caught up with each other’s lives. I had fried okra, greens, scalloped potatoes, and tea. It was all good and the workers were friendly. Here’s an article from the AJC about the show and filming at the landmark restaurant.
Have you had the pleasure of a septic tank or alternative system refusing to pump raw sewage anymore? After living in our home for about 11 years, a 88,000 amp lightning bolt was determined to have struck within a quarter of a mile of my house. The fellow that the insurance company sent out was able to pinpoint it by some historical data that his company has access to. Anyway, our alternative system that had worked well for many years quit. This bolt fried the motherboard and I was surprised at how few firms were authorized by the manufacturer to work on these.
I finally ended up contacting Donnie Meeler of Meeler Septic Service after getting a recommendation from a friend of my father-in-law. Donnie determined what options that we had and then figured out the most cost-effective way to approach the problem considering the various factors involved.
He ended up being able to customize a system for our home that is more efficient and reliable than the previous one. These systems require maintenance to perform properly. I watched him do some of it today. Trust me, the units have filters for a reason and the filters need cleaning regularly. It’s a smart idea to try and find little issues before they become major problems. He does that too on a regular basis.
Anyway, I know sometimes it is hard to find good, reliable people to help solve your problems. If one of yours is a septic system or alternative septic system, give Donnie a call at (770) 231-1421 or e-mail him at meeler05@yahoo.com. They even do hauling work.
This is not a paid endorsement or a guarantee of any work duly performed. Just thought you might need some help like I did not too long ago.
George Reisman makes a compelling case that laissez faire capitalism is not the cause of our current financial setbacks. He also has another article from the summer that begins wondering if Obama is an American version of Hugo Chavez.
More articles and books regarding these type of issues can be found at the Ludwig von Mises Institute website.
