From Our Neighbors Who Are in the South


The sunset in Key Largo.

While another low temperature record was set today in Huletts for March 7th, I received the above picture and following message from Dave Richards who is in sunny Key Largo, Florida.

Hi George,

Saw your Huletts weather bulletin on the minus 7 new record for March 4 … all the pioneers at the Lake have our sincere sympathies. The temps here in Key Largo have been in the 80’s … sending you a recent sunset picture to warm your spirits…remember,…”Spring ” is just around the corner! So keep the faith and, even more importantly, keep warm!

Dave – thanks for the picture. It was a cool 0 degrees in Huletts this morning!

Ben Wade: You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said “we’re going back East to start over”. So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.

Saturday Quote

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

”Take only ONE. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

What Are You Doing This Off-Season?


A picture taken before the start of Game 4 of the National League Playoffs between the Pirates and Cardinals from PNC Park in Pittsburgh. (Click to see full-scale.)

No, I’m not in Pittsburgh. However, I did receive this shot from my nephew who is at today’s game. It made me think that I’m going to start a new series of posts entitled, What are you doing this off-season?

If you’re some place fun or interesting, send me a picture, and I might post it. I know lots of people who go interesting places and see fun events when they’re not in Huletts. So if you’re doing something fun this off-season, send me a picture and let your friends see the excitement here on the Huletts Current.
