This picture was taken at a bluegrass festival at Jack Wingate's Lunker Lodge
on Lake Seminole, near Bainbridge, Georgia.
I bought a copy of Spring Creek
Chronicles in the general store, next to the restaurant, a book about mullet-fishing
before the Net Ban put seine-fishermen out of business, destroying a way of life
that went back generations.
I am patriotic. I believe in principled dissent.
Patriotism
is the last refuge of a scoundrel. A chauvinist. If they call you names, start
at the pointing finger and trace it back.
