Cattle Drive

I went on a drive out through the woods.....looking at the Fall colors.....I don't know the names of all the different trees like WB did.....if you went driving through the woods with him he would tell you what all the various stands of timber were, and whether or not you could get straight lumber out of them or if they were pretty much worthless.....the Duncan Creek bridge is still out, has been for a long time now.....I saw where they might have money for it in the 2013 highway budget.....but now the whole SCDOT is in arrears or something and who knows when anything will get fixed.....so I took the way out to the churchyard in Ora where you go for a ways on Cattle Drive.....there's one old house you go by that way that's an old unpainted Depression Era kind of place like Grandma's.....but it looks inhabited still, cars in the yard and rocking chairs on the front porch.....I came back on Fleming Mills to the 121 near Ford School.....and went down and shot the shit with the guy in the guitar shop for a while....bought a Herco pick for $2, that kind of hybrid flat-pick-thumb-pick.....the one I had before broke a while back.....he still has pretty much the same guitars in there as months ago....he does make some money renting school band instruments......he didn't have anything to do right then but stand around and talk anyway, he allowed as how......
