Yesterday morning Daisy the Beagle and I took the 1 1/2 mile walk down the driveway, and down to Little Pine Road and the river. We walked out to the middle of the bridge and this is what we saw in the water. It is lodged securely on the bottom of the river. Somebody stopped in the middle of the bridge and tossed it over the side.

  I talked to the guy who fished the toilet out. He went down there in his canoe and dragged it into the boat by himself. Those toilets weigh about 105 pounds.

  He stood in waist deep water, and held the canoe steady in the current, and loaded up that toilet into the boat.

  I told him "Good job. You are a strong Young Buck."

  Hey Guys, I'm still alive. I guess Allen won't mind if I high-jack his thread.

  I grew up on the property at the mouth of the French Broad River on the right of the photo, called The Forks of the River.

  The picture below is in the early part of the last century showing the mouth of the French Broad River on the right of the photo and also the mouth of the Holston River straight ahead and the beginning of the Tennessee River to the left of the photo. Best years of my life were spent there from the 40s to the 90s.
