Among other things, this post touches on tires, tobacco and the quest for the old mountain jug....

Tobacco_tire

Nothing quite shouts November up here in the mountains like burley hanging from the barn rafters. If'n you've never had the pleasure of smelling curing tobacco in a barn, well, I recommend you put that on your 'do' list.

On the Appalachian homefront:
This weekend it is the Mountaineers vs. Catamounts in a battle for the Old Mountain Jug. I'll be there cheering on Team Yosef. Perhaps more touching is it is also Military Appreciation Day as well. I can already imagine the noise in the stadium as 25,000 plus fans cheer for our veterans.

And here's a bit of news:
Jets sign Marques Murrell. It is not difficult to understand why as he is a two time first team All American. The following photo of Marques was taken on the sideline of the football game against Gardner-Webb.

      This is an album of photos I took at Saturday's 6th annual Watauga River Run in Valle Crucis, N.C. The 5K event raises money for the Watauga County Schools and Zapfitness in honor of a pair of runners, Gwen Tyrie and Andy Palmer, who died a week apart in 2002.
