She also runs track for the Vols. Chick couldn’t be more proud. She left after class Friday afternoon and should have been home before eight. At nine […]
Folks, don’t get me wrong…. I like vegetarians. Even though most folks in Watervalley think vegetarians are just lousy hunters, if someone wants to be the Potentate of Tofu, that’s fine by me.

A Cat Tale (The latest news from Watervalley.)
It should be noted that in ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped as kings and queens. Apparently, they haven’t forgotten this.
Facts and Fiction: (I don’t just make this stuff up.)
