TEDD BLEVINS
On January 4, 2008 I found the obituary for Tedd Blevins in the Bristol Herald Courier. I thought Tedd to be an amazing person, and a wonderful artist. The obituary was ideal. This morning I noticed the reprint of the obit was edited, so I check the Courier's website and found it was edited there as well. Tedd deserves an unedited obituary. Here is the original version: Bristol, Tenn. - Tedd Blevins of Bristol Tennessee joined Rembrandt in the sky on Jan. 4, 2008. Posted by carlwilliams at 04:31 PM

A Bridge To Nowhere
My prayers are with the people of Minnesota this morning - those who lost loved ones, those who were injured, and all the local people who must be traumatized by this tragedy. This morning the Washington Post reported that President Bush promised to rebuild the bridge, but wouldn't set a timetable. I think the bridge promise comes right after the New Orleans rebuilding promise in his pecking order.... Posted by carlwilliams at 07:12 AM

Fence Post
We were in Blacksburg on May 19-20 to visit John and Sarah. Their apartment complex borders the farm, and there are wonderful hiking/bicycle trails all around the area. We went for an evening walk and took a few pictures. The lighting wasn't very good, but if I want a photo, I snap it. This is my favorite from the trip. Posted by carlwilliams at 09:17 PM

George quotes George
"Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life. And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone." This quote comes from Dubya's speech at Mount Vernon on Monday. Now I'm sure that he intends it to justify his incursion into Iraq, but I can see in it the evidence that the rights afforded to American citizens for fair and just treatment should be afforded to our captives at Guantanamo Bay as well. Freedom is not defined solely by the right to buy Chevron gas and Slurpees, but also the right to an attorney, the right to a fair hearing and speedy trial, and the right to contact family members. Dubya just speaks the words and works to make them sound friendly and down-home. I don't believe he's either friendly or down-home. He's more interested in the corporate welfare than the welfare of the needy, and..I believe he just doesn't care about you and me! Posted by carlwilliams at 06:15 PM
