Geographically, the best… One of my best friends, Jimmy McArthur, of Chicago sent me a great collection of fantastic photographs. These images were deemed the year's best shots of National Geographic Magazine. Known for it's excellent photographs, the magazine's best are definitely something to see. Sadly, no information on who the photographers are was available. Thank you Jimmy.

Self CPR sent by Candice Boothe
The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did a recent in-depth study. It is called cough CPR and it could save your life!
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. And you're driving home (alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. What can you do?
These victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
Around Thanksgiving past someone sent me a photo from Fulton County of a "Haystack Turkey".
We now know that it
was Mike Coker who ran off with all the A&W's window numbers back
in the day. You remember them, a big number on one side which was also
your order number
and the side shown at left is the side always facing you as you sat in
your car with your best girl on a Saturday night after a movie at the
Lawford or the Kay.
The blue and silver (sometimes they used white) of Balyki is captured by Mike in another photo at right. The letter and pennant are from the 1960's.
Dear Friends
and Family,
I want to start by apologizing. I have been so caught up in this
miracle in my life that I forgot that maybe some of the people close
to me would love to see her.
Her name is Summer Elizabeth Boothe, Born 12-23-2009, weighed 5lbs 7
oz and was 19 1/2 inches long.. (Future model) Blonde hair and blue
eyes. Just beautiful.. The picture I added was a picture of her on
her first visit to Mema & grandpa's house. She was about 6 weeks
and just learning to smile.
Again, I do apologize.. I am such an estatic Mema. and a little
scatterbrained at times. We are suppose to see her again this
weekend. Cannot wait will definitely send more pics.
Hope everyone is having a blessed week & love you all,
Stuart and Candy Boothe
And of course there are always a few thoughts worth sharing...
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. 'Is it true,' she wanted to know, 'that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?' 'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, 'I 'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.'

Keep Your arm around my shoulder,
