With the myrid of things I miss about living in rural farmland, one of the things I enjoy about living outside the largest city in the south is the city during Thanskgiving and Christmas. Atlanta is beginning to take on all the trimmings for the season. I wish a very happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and friends and encourage you to stop and consider the things in your life you have to be thankful. And, I will go ahead and wish you a wonderful Christmas season as well.

THANK YOU! to all the men and women who have served in our armed services putting themselves in harms way to protect the interest of the United States. THANK YOU! to all the men and women who are currently serving in our armed services home and abroad. To those currently serving in Afghanistan or Iraq, I pray for your safety. To the Commander in Chief, I ask that you keep your word about bringing our troops home from Iraq. We haven't forgotten your campaign trail speeches about "Not next year, not next month, bring them home now." We await you to be a man of honor by keeping your word. GOD Bless America.

Angel City is a "old west ghost town" built outside of Unadilla, Georgia that host motorcycle rallies and other events. And, it is the perfect rally spot. The "town" is a collection of old west buildings with covered sidewalks, a Saloon, restaurant, and various stores that vendors populate during events. For anyone that enjoys riding motorcycles and enjoys attending motorcycle rallies, they owe it to themselves to attend a rally at Angel City.
