By the tilt of his head and the fact that about fifty antique tractors are passing by and he isn't looking that way, leads me to think that maybe he has dozed off; I wouldn't want to startle him nor wake him suddenly; he might think he's still in Saigon.

I don't see how these people who live here sleep at night; all the loud noisy traffic, semi-trucks rolling through one after the other, sirens, fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars flying past all night long; gang battles and gun-fire; TV News helicopters; all the neighbors lap-dogs constantly yapping; violent domestic disputes, what with all the dishes breaking against the walls; myself, I would seek somewhere with some solitude = a place where if someone was walking along the road in the middle of the night you kept your cross-hairs on him until he was clean out of sight while every hair on your Border Collie was bristling and she was begging you to turn her loose so as to bring back the seat of their pants and maybe a chunk of their A-double-$$.

I hauled a lot of, if not all, the rock that went into the development and construction of this place and the mobile home that is next door; in fact, the mobile home was there first by a couple years or so.

I can't say that I am very impressed with their choice of dog; a Border Collie that lives outside at the barn would have a much more positive impact.

Northbound on KY1675

South side of KY Hwy 80 in Pulaski County

KY1675 - Shopville - Pulaski County - Kentucky

Saturday_08-June-2024

KY1675 is what used to be KY Hwy 80

KY1675 being an odd-numbered road, is considered a North/South route; however, KY80 was and still is an East/West route; so, Northbound on KY1675 is what used to be Westbound on KY80.

The hard-luck gentleman is on the South/West shoulder of KY1675, about midway between Sandy Gap Road and Farmer Road, travelling North/Westbound.

Right here:

It looks like his two-dollar shoes are hurtin' his feet about right now.

I wonder where he is now; he can't be sleepin' under a table in a roadside park as the intelligent powers that be in our government offices have done away with all our roadside parks.

He is about three pedal strokes East of the Lower Line Creek Road junction.

He had better have good stout legs and very good brakes; as, he has thirteen-plus very steep and crooked miles ahead of him if he wants to eat his supper in London.

It is hard for me to believe myself that I used to run this road in a tri-axle R-Model Mack with a 4700-gallon milk tank.

Everybody knows Pipe Smokin' Butter Churnin' Ol' Granny

https://ibb.co/CqXH2vz" rel="nofollow">

As Seen at Renfro Valley Appalachian Harvest Festival__2006

Granny once confided in me that she smoked her own special blend of Kentucky Hemp buds and Burley Tobacco.

Granny is powered by a 1917 Model 850 32-Volt Delco Light Plant.

The Light Plant was removed from the home of https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/25027192/rachel-ware-bush" rel="nofollow - of Winchester in Clark County, Kentucky.

Rachel was temporarily married to wealthy Clay-Wachs Stockyard owner https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/103171126/floyd_greene-clay" rel="nofollow - whose background and history is well worth a read - check out his father and grandfather.

Floyd Greene Clay died childless.

I have not yet found out how Rachel came to be a Bush, nor whether she had any Bush children.

Restored by The https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249932690/billy-eugene-cooper" rel="nofollow - To those who have never seen Granny up close and personal, there is a drive belt underneath the trailer floor that is connected to a Pitman Arm reciprocating mechanism within the body of the churn that makes the churn dasher move up and down, taking Granny's hand and arm along for the ride, thus giving the impression that Granny is working the Churn Dasher; whereas, instead, the Churn Dasher is working Granny.

It is untelling how many pounds of Butter Ol' Granny has churned out in her long career.

I wonder if we will ever get to see Ol' Granny again.
