Staying Alive 🎶

Posted on by Neal Saye

The mid-summer heat is incredible down here in my Savannah, Georgia—as it seems to be in much of our weathered nation.

Yesterday afternoon here in Savannah 

Real Feel of 114? Seriously?

On early morning walks (it’s far too hot for me to walk midday), I have noticed one resilient plant that seems to not only survive in this oppressive heat and brutal sunshine, but actually to THRIVE.

Crepe Myrtle

“Some plants perform best when the heat is on; Crape Myrtles revel in the sun and heat. They are summer show-offs.  In full bloom this beautiful shrub/tree radiates color, sporting a full head of crinkled, “crepe” like blooms in various shades.” aldenlane.com

May we follow crepe myrtle’s exemplary leadership in this very hot time in our nation.

It’s dangerously hot, but we will stay alive!

T-Shirt Tuesday: “Farm Passport”

Posted on by Neal Saye

So last year, Robert and I joined Georgia’s uber-cool Farm Passport Program.

“The Farm Passport is your guide to discover Georgia, support local farms and experience fresh food. Grab your passport and let it guide you across the state to see the diversity of agriculture Georgia offers. 

The Farm Passport features over 90 farms included in Georgia Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Markets program, which was created to help people discover where their food comes from, meet the farm families who grew the food, and create lasting memories with loved ones as they travel the state.” Farm Bureau, GA

We had a blast and visited 22 Georgia Farms.

Last weekend we made a little trip to Macon to pick up our prizes and to explore old town Macon a bit.

Here I am with one of the leaders of the Passport Program.

And look! Here I am with HR and our nifty new Farm Traveler T-shirts. (After all, remember, it’s T-shirt Tuesday.)

And here are a few images from our time in Macon, which by the way is (was?) my birthplace.

The cool ceiling of our Airbnb …

Bad Advice? No, Insane Advice: “Stay Outta Girls’ Bathrooms, Pete Buttigieg!”

Posted on by Neal Saye

If you have followed my blog for a while, you may remember that I have a recurring humorous blog category called “Bad Advice.”But for this post, I feel compelled to change the name to “INSANE ADVICE!”

You may have seen in the news that former President Trump was here in Georgia this past weekend for another one of his “rallies.” House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was a “warm up act” for him.

Here are a couple of sentences from her opening act.

CNN

I didn’t realize that our Secretary of Transportation and his husband Chasten were hanging out in girls’ bathrooms!

We need a Marjorie Taylor Greene Vaccine. She is beyond ignorant. She’s dangerously ignorant. And an embarrassment to my wonderful state.
