ABOUT ME...
 
Rapidly approaching 50-year-old husband,  father, and Goonie movie fanatic.  Still banging my head to 80s hair metal, but everything hurts more now after a concert. Love exploring the back roads looking for odd roadside attractions.  And finally an aspiring terrible tennis, pickleball, and racquetball player.

Local legend says that a women is buried sitting in her favorite rocking chair.

"I will never betray my goon dock friends. We will stick together until the whole world ends. Through heaven and hell, and nuclear war. Good pals like us, will stick like tar. In the city, or the country, or the forest, or the boonies. I am proudly declared a fellow Goonie."

James K. Polk, born on November 2, 1795, in Pineville, North Carolina, was the 11th President of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849. Polk was a pivotal figure in American politics, known for his strong leadership and ambitious approach to territorial expansion. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, studied law, and embarked on a political career. Polk served as the Speaker of the House of Representatives before becoming the Governor of Tennessee. In 1844, he emerged as the dark horse candidate for the Democratic nomination for president and won the election against Henry Clay. During his presidency, Polk focused on fulfilling his campaign promises, known as the "Polk Doctrine," which included acquiring the Oregon Territory, settling the Texas boundary dispute, and acquiring California from Mexico. Despite his achievements, Polk's presidency was marred by controversy, particularly the Mexican-American War, which he believed was necessary for territorial expansion. The war led to the acquisition of significant territories under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, expanding the United States to the Pacific Ocean. James K. Polk chose not to seek reelection and left office in 1849. Unfortunately, his post-presidential life was brief, as he died on June 15, 1849, just three months after leaving the White House. Polk's impact on American expansionism and the fulfillment of Manifest Destiny remains a central aspect of his historical legacy.

Big John Studd, born John William Minton on February 19, 1948, in Butler, Pennsylvania, was an American professional wrestler who made a significant impact on the world of wrestling during the 1970s and 1980s. Studd began his wrestling career in the 1970s, quickly establishing himself as a formidable presence in the ring. Standing at an imposing 6 feet 10 inches tall and weighing over 300 pounds, he gained attention for his immense size and strength. Studd's early years in wrestling saw him compete in various regional promotions, honing his skills and developing his persona. His breakthrough came when he entered the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), which later became the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). In the late 1970s, Studd became a prominent figure, known for his intense rivalry with another wrestling legend, Andre the Giant. Their feud culminated in a high-stakes match at the first-ever WrestleMania event in 1985, known as the "Body Slam Challenge." Studd emerged victorious, showcasing his strength by body-slamming the near-500-pound Andre the Giant. Big John Studd's WWF career continued to flourish, and he achieved success as a singles competitor as well as a tag team wrestler. He had notable partnerships with fellow wrestlers such as Ken Patera and King Kong Bundy. Studd's wrestling style, characterized by power moves and a dominating presence, made him a memorable figure in the ring. In addition to his accomplishments in the WWF, Studd had stints in other wrestling promotions, including World Championship Wrestling (WCW). His contributions to the wrestling world earned him a place in the hearts of fans, and he remains a respected figure in the history of professional wrestling. Tragically, Big John Studd passed away on March 20, 1995, at the age of 47. Despite his relatively short life, his impact on the wrestling industry, particularly during the golden era of the WWF, solidifies his legacy as one of the larger-than-life characters that defined an era in sports entertainment.

Crypt of Mittie Manning with a window to her Grave. The story is told of how the mother grieved so much when the little girl died, that she refused to allow her to be buried. She finally agreed to release the girl's body only if she could be buried in a casket above ground. A special crypt was designed with a slab that lay on top. The slab had a glass window which was covered by a round slab of granite which could be swiveled aside to allow the mother to view the girl's face beneath the glass. Eventually, though, the decomposition progressed to the point that the casket was sealed and the little girl was buried under ground. Today, the slab covering with the round window and slab covering is all that remains of the original crypt.
