  1. No ideas, just experience. Just a note of interest. If You read the article you'll see that the design changes at Hiram-Sudie. I don't know for sure, but I'd just about bet the roadway cross section will change there as well. That's all dictated by traffic counts. It would've made more sense to me for the project to be uniform, but that's the way the money rolls.
  2. Not THAT much of it. I'd give it a 90% chance of the last 1/4 mile relocating south by less than 500'. And a 10% chance of it being dead ended and that traffic routed south. Maybe less than 10%. Edited to add about 2 out of 3 or better chance that there will be a median on 61 with no cut at Winndale making it a right in/right out only.
  3. 100% chance of Winndales intersection moving. So it will be addressed one way or another.
  4. I've built a retaining wall where the plans called out a protocol in case the foot of the grave next to it wasn't EXACTLY where we thought it was. There is a cemetary inside the gore area of an off ramp on I-75. I could go on, but you can bet safely that graves will not be moved.
  5. Really scary part is when the picture opened the first thing I thought was "She kinda reminds me of the waitress from Vittles."
  6. Candy from out on the island never lost her head.
  7. Every time I get to thinking it might be nice to have somebody in my life again, something like this pops up and slaps me back to reality. https://nypost.com/2018/04/09/woman-arrested-for-beheading-boyfriend-asks-cops-let-me-get-my-heads/ Thers just gotta be a better option.
  8. The accumulation of personal power and the cause of self aggrandizement are as old as politics and religion. Those folks I don't necessarily see as crooks. The monetization of the Presidency, although it didn't necessarily start with the Clintons, was certainly fine tuned and brought to a brand new level by them. Now that being said, I've said before that one of my core beliefs is to believe someone when they show you who they are. When someone shows you who they are for more than 40 years and you either still don't believe or are willing to forget, that's beyond my comprehension. The Clintons
  9. We're on a crooked road. We've been on a crooked road for the last three decades or so. The thing about a crooked road is the crooks are both to the right and the left. If we don't mind those crooks, both the left and the right ones, we're either going to hit the side of the mountain or drive off the cliff. Second call for the emptying of a block house at the Federal Pen, the renaming of it to the Clinton-Trump or Trump-Clinton Wing, and housing them all side by side where they can see each other.
  10. Well not after it was 'splained up to me.
  11. If Amazon wants to put its campus in the middle of Paulding, then let the busses roll. But that ain't happening either. It all goes back to whether or not Paulding should be included in "Metro Atlanta". The only reason we are is because of the EPA and prevailing wind currents. That's like a new entitlement program, the powers that be at the courthouse will never let that title go.
  12. "Commuter trains don't bring crime to suburbs they bring people making good money. The trains will also cut down on those shopping out of the county to and from work." Everything in this paragraph is absolutely correct ma'am. But again, there will not be a train out here in the lifetime of anybody reading this. You might possibly see something as close as Thornton and I-20. The park and ride lot on the NE corner is Cobb County. Douglas is not included in ATL. Any line that would come this way would have to come through Cobb first and that means money for all those stations before we are even
  13. mis·an·thrope ˈmis(ə)nˌTHrōp,ˈmiz(ə)nˌTHrōp/Submit noun a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society. synonyms: hater of mankind, hater, cynic; More You make pick and choose your definition of you, not me.
  14. Coupon in one of those carpet cleaner and sushi restaurant circulars for Dave's Chicago Spot next to Hardee's on Merchants Dr. Believe there was a Japanese place there for a few months. Anybody been by yet?
  15. Seeing as how I'm the OP, I'll respond to your whistle. Please keep in mind when I express an opinion like this that there is no "ist" or "ism" driving that opinion. I am a misanthrope, so there is an "ic" driving it. And as a misanthrope prone to misanthropic behaviour, I feel free to suggest that whistle be blown from the other end. And I'm not talking about an inversion of the whistle itself.
  16. There will never be a train out here in the lifetime of anybody that's going to read this. Thornton Rd. maybe, but that'd be about it. And living on a bus line brings all the problems of big city living right to your doorstep for cheap. To put it bluntly, now I have to worry about the folks in the trailer park behind me and with a bus line it's them and their now more mobile friends. Like the white guy I found standing in my back yard not so long ago who explained that was where he was going after he heard the hammer click. That's not about race, that's about socioeconomics. Before I'm called
  17. I've mentioned this before. Ladies and gentlemen, this includes you as Paulding residents. 5 years max before the push to join a renamed Marta begins, I'd bet sooner.

  18. real.....raw..... died grass green.......hidden where your least favorite neighbor uses the weed eater......heeheeheee...
  19. Worst I've read in a long time anyway: PAULDING COUNTY AUTHORITIES WORKING 'SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT' Details are still developing. Author: Adrianne Haney Published: 6:04 PM EDT March 28, 2018 Updated: 7:06 PM EDT March 28, 2018 PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. Authorities say they are working what they're calling a "suspicious incident" in Dallas, Georgia. According to Paulding County Sheriff Cpl. Ashley Henson, the Dallas Police Department, Paulding County Sheriff's Office and other agencies have responded to the situation on West Memorial Drive. Officials were working to gather
  20. Fine. Let's take the sex trade off the internet. It's proven that it's just to big an embarrassment and scourge on society there. No sir, the internet is just no place for that. 'Course in a decade or so when the social security checks aren't enough anymore to keep grandpa from having to eat the cat food. And you end up with a 67 year old man in daisy dukes and a belly shirt hanging on the corner behind Home Depot up in Hiram. Well, at least there won't be folks selling sex on the internet.
  21. Everybody with a rake and a truck is welcome to come on by and get all they want free. Matter of fact, I'll put out coffee and doughnuts, play whatever music you like to work to and shout aphorisms from the porch. Y'all come on down now, ya hear.
  22. Swing on by and step in one these here yellow jacket nests......you're gonna need both flip flops.
  23. Wasp spray is on my spring prep list every year. In stock before they raise their ugly little heads. It's me or them! We shan't let live nor appease those spawns of hell. In case ya can't tell, I hate those mistakes of nature.
  24. Todays the day everything that is even remotely portable or coverable goes back outside until near halloween. I have very limited window space on the south side of the house, so it looks kinda like a jungle during the winter around here. Living and reaching around all that for 5 months it feels like the house doubles in size when it all goes back out the door. Windows open, living space wide open, sunshine and the rose bush in the middle of the yard is looking better this year than ever before. Hard to feel like griping today. So kick the tumble weeds away from the door of the political foru
  25. Look, we got this, NASCAR, swimming and hockey still...... kinda. We ain't knockin' folks off one at a time enough to rate an honorable mention though.
