Cowboys out west don't wear cowboy boots, we wear tennies.

No saddle, no bit, just a string bridle.

jest like them damn ole injuns!

Ouch.

I used to pay good bucks to go riding in Florida. After 20 minutes the insides of my thighs ached so bad I wanted to go home. What a wuss.
 
Frankie sez this about Mystic's make up:

"He's a conglomerate of some Bison testicles, a gale force wind, and a summer sunrise"

Not a bad description, that!

Mystic says:

"I be .5 Brit, .25 Scots and .25 German."

Does that add up to a whole??? I think some part is hiding...

I took a friend, who played for the Niners riding for a couple of hours. He used a saddle. He was sore the next day. You use different muscles.

BTW, we don't send our horses or dogs to a taxidermist when they die. That is so sick. We only do that with people.

I think that I will go look up "Harmonic resonance" (or maybe Not).
Or maybe a seance (or hypnosis) will satisfy my cravings.

Actually, I have some ideas still resonating in my brain from my past experience in Scientology that I still want to justify.
All I need to find is some singular author to justify those beliefs... then I will feel much better.
I really don't need any "peer reviews" from anyone else (or maybe one other person).

Then I will be a happy camper. :D

Cincinnati - America's Rhineland

Look what else they do in Ohio :p

I took these photos at the October Fest

I had often heard Cincinnati, Ohio referred to as America's Rhineland back in the 50's when I was a teenager. My Mom's hometown was Dayton, Ohio, the home of the Wright Brothers and a scant 50 miles from Cincy. I visited them both for the first time in 1954 and have been back several times since then.

For you baseball nuts, I even attended a baseball game in Cincinnati in 1954 at their old stadium, Crosley Field.

I googled America's Rhineland and came up with the following:


FLYING CROWN RACER

German immigrants came to America's Rhineland and built vineyards, wineries to make wine like their home country. The America's Rhineland was a leading producer of fine wines that were world class in the 1800s. These early pioneers created a legacy. The Historic Winery of Flying Crown Racer was built in 1860 and is one of the oldest wineries in America on the National Historic Registry of the United States. The Flying Crown Racer, after 140 years, carries on the tradition of superior wine in America's Rhineland.

Historical records state "...During the last summer a New York wine merchant came to August, after visiting the vineyards in Ohio, and paid for wine raised in the vicinity of Augusta $2.50 per gallon, that being fifty cents over the price of best Ohio wine, There are now several large vineyards in the county, and this year there will be from one to two hundred acres put in vines. The soil of Bracken seems peculiarly adapted to the grapes, and the German wine raisers are peopling different localities rapidly."(Kentucky State Agricultural Society To The Legislature Of Kentucky, For The Years 1856 and 1857, Carefully Prepared By Robert W. Scott, Corresponding Secretary. The best Agriculture makes the greatest State; and the wisest State makes the most of her Agriculture. Frankfort, Kentucky, 1857.)

Today, the Flying Crown Racer vineyard, winery reawakens and offers you the legacy of the America's Rhineland.


Anyone for some Ohio vineyards on the banks of not the Rhine River Valley but the Ohio River Valley? Here is a picture:

photo of himself above his locker: "That's so when I forget how to spell my

name, I can still find my clothes."

Ideally, he should also put a mirror there, so he can verify that he's the guy in the picture.

I've had those days....

Trying to handle some PTS sit telepathically with my mom it seems the German influence in Ohio goes back to the 1730s. Of course going back that far in European history maybe some of these groups did not consider themselves truly 'German' but some other individualized identity from the locale.

I came across mental imagery of what could be considered the Ohio Territory back in the mid 1740s. I got this 'feeling' of the Black Forest in Germany and mercenaries and our father being non persona grata and cold weather and building of forts for a people we weren't really in league with. These were mom's images.
I looked up some info afterwards. It seems that there were skirmishes in the German frointier. Many groups of outlaw activists running amuck. They became political targets after a while and labeled as enemies. American coincidentally needed frontiersmen for its outback during it's conflicts with the British in the days leading up to the French and Indian Wars. Development companies were recruiting in a pseudo military manner so to speak. I had thought it strange to come across a 'type' of germanic colony back then in the southern part of Ohio.
http://www.touring-ohio.com/ohio-history.html
After the American Revolution, Ohio began to see increasingly large numbers of settlers move into the area. They saw the rich land as a place to start over and lay claim to the promises created by the new country. The problem was that the land had been off limits to American settlers. Large numbers of Native peoples living north of the Ohio River had signed treaties with the government that promised settlers would remain south of the Ohio and the Native peoples would stay north . This treaty was impossible to enforce and settlers quickly filtered into southern Ohio, and this eventually led to even more violent conflicts.

We have a lot of great wineries in Ohio. A lot of it seems to be close to the lake area. Our families get together at the wineries about twice a year. Kirtland Ohio is one of the places.

The weiner dog races were absolutely precious. No animals were harmed during the filming of the competition. :D

Everybody had to bring their own dog. most all of them were novices or puppies.
