They were quite a sought-after lot for a long time and mostly left alone for various personal reasons. But if you wanted a job done, they were there to do it.<br />Hope you enjoy it the book as much as I did.the cajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905358111623645338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-18235549604519454792014-11-26T12:33:04.406-05:002014-11-26T12:33:04.406-05:00with a possible "nor'easter" heading...with a possible "nor'easter" heading your way Thursday should be a day to explore a new series from Netflix and treat yourself to a "guilty pleasure," I will head down to the 6th Floor at Grady Memorial Hospital and visit for awhile and a shock I'm sure to many, the Hospital Food never tasted so good!Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-19330633397873336952014-11-26T10:47:32.617-05:002014-11-26T10:47:32.617-05:00"How the Scots Invented the Modern World"..."How the Scots Invented the Modern World", a book that I will definitely get. As you may know (or not), my paternal ancestry is "hillbilly", which is actually Scotch-Irish. The "hillbillies" got their name from sympathizers of King William (Protestant) (Scottish Highlands). When the Highland Clearances occurred, many Scotch-Irish emigrated to the "hills" (mountains) of Appalachia, including my ancestor Jonathan Tipton (late 1600's). Thanks for the tip on this book. It is now in my Amazon queue. <br />Ron Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707860620453967502.post-25568765043664544472014-11-25T23:54:17.131-05:002014-11-25T23:54:17.131-05:00Scotch is the elixir of life, is it not?
