Great Smokey Mountains
« on: November 29, 2016, 10:38:08 PM »
I don't know if any of you care about Gatlinburg or ever visit there, but it has apparently been consumed by an incredible fire in the last 48 hours.  There are some horror stories from people trying to evacuate and last I seen over 100 structures have burned. 

Hope none of y'all had any property up there or loved ones.

Been keeping up with the story.  Horrible situation.  Have vacationed there for many, many years and I doubt the place will ever look the same after all the fires.

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

Special place for me. Went back for the first time in years recently and it's still beautiful but more commercial every year.

Hate to hear of this destruction. Sad news.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

The last time I went there I thought it might be a good thing if they razed it and started over.  It had gotten old and seedy in a lot of places. 

Guess I was heard.  Not what I meant, though.

My brother owns a couple of cabins up there.  Hate that the folks have lost homes and the like but hey if it knocks out some of those t-shirt shops I'm not complaining.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
