re: What is absolutely the song you hate the most?

While I appreciate the sentiment, I've never been able to get past the schmaltziness and borderline chipmunk vocals even when I was a kid and it was more prominent on the radio.

Deep in the west
Where the tall mountains grow, I've gone home
Where the heaven above
Turns red from the fire down below
Are you listening to me
When I'm talking to you?
Said together, we're one
And divided, we're through
Ooh, ooh
Divided, we're through
Silver friend at night
Yellow friend, you come with the dawn
Back in my heart
I've been drying my eyes, see me run
So you hang onto me
And I hang onto you
Said together, we're one
And divided, we're through
Ooh, ooh
Divided, we're through
Refusing to talk
I suppose that it's all for love's sake, ain't it, babe?
Learning to give
That's important before you can take from me
Are you listening to me
When I'm talking to you?
Said together, we're one
And divided, we're through
So you hang onto me
And I hang onto you
Said together, we're one
And divided, we're through
Are you listening to me (There you go)
When I'm talking to you? (Changing your mind)
Said together, we're one (This love of yours)
And divided, we're through (Will take me sometime)
So you hang onto me (Here I go)
And I hang onto you (I keep changing my mind)
Said together, we're one (This love of yours)
And divided, we're through (Will take me sometime)
Ooh, ooh
Divided, we're through (Hey, hey, yeah)
Ooh, ooh

Our dog got sprayed one evening in our backyard. Used all the usual remedies, peroxide/baking soda/tomato juice. It did a good job of removing most of the odor, but I swear, even a year later we'd still catch a whiff of skunk every once in a while. It lingers.
re: Has any county changed as much as Clayton County, GA

Back in the 70's, when I was a kid, we used to visit my aunt and uncle who lived, at that time, outside Conyers, in Rockdale County. It seemed like a really nice middle class suburban community back then.
Drove through there a few years ago and it appeared to have changed a lot and not for the better.

This was the Pizza Inn in my hometown when I was growing up. Back in the 70's we used to go there after our little league games. It closed several years ago.

The stories on the Armero, Colombia volcano/mudslide back in 1985 made an impression on me at the time it happened.
Tough to watch, especially the little girl who was trapped in the mud and debris, and, ultimately, didn't survive. Just heartbreaking and pretty much forgotten now.
Warning, there are some disturbing images in this video.

Little place in Snook TX called Sodolaks
Unfortunately, they closed down a couple of years back. Chicken fried bacon...you could feel your arteries closing up while you ate it, lol. There's a Sodolak's Beefmasters Steakhouse in Bryan that I would guess is owned by the same family.

Loved Willie's and went there everytime we visited the in laws in Brunswick but, imo, ever since Willie died, a few years back, and then his wife, I feel like it hasn't been the same. It's been a few years since I've been there and I know his kids sold out to a new owner a couple of years ago so maybe it has improved.

Biggest surprise were the hedgerows.
My grandfather came ashore on D-Day +4 with the 30th Infantry Division. He said of the hedgerows that, to him, the most stressful thing was that while walking along them you would often hear activity on the other side and wouldn't know if it was our guys or the enemy until you reached the occasional opening in the hedgerow.

Their old stadium, Clark Field, had a cliff in the outfield and it was fair territory.

...Sikhs do not actively proselytise, although voluntary converts are generally accepted.
Kind of an aside, but I read somewhere a while back that said this guy's a convert. HIs Sikh name is Gobind Seva Singh. Hollywood types tend to be anti-religious or "flirt" with things like Buddhism, so it was a bit strange to me that one converted to Sikhism.
And, yes, Sikhs are pretty nonviolent generally and have only tended to retaliate against the majority Hindu government in India when attacked such as the storming of the Golden Temple on Indira Ghandhi's orders in 1984 and her subsequent assassination in 1988 by two of her Sikh bodyguards. Sikhs have put up with a lot of shite in their native country.
As someone posted earlier, though, the outrage, which I believe is justified, in this incident really does seem to be about the double standard and the complicity of the police and those in power when it comes to the disparate treatment of whites vs. non-whites in the UK and not so much about the Sikh religion itself.

Cajun Brewing Co. located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
The only place I ever saw this swill was in my great uncle's garage fridge at his place outside Opelousas back in the early 90's.
