A short drive from Lancaster,Ohio to Newark,Ohio and some Quality Time on the TJ Evans bike trail.
(After my stroke I’ve found walking to be a great way to recover.)
“The TJ Evans Trail moves through woods, pastures and farmlands giving occasional glimpses of a creek that runs alongside and a river along the campus connector along Rt. 16.”
Trail End Points: West Newark to Johnstown Counties: Licking..Gotta go thru the “tunnel”
Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece. I’m sure this graffiti isn’t ancient. LOL. Out the other side
Trail Length: 14.2 miles Trail Category: Rail-Trail
Trail Surfaces: Asphalt
Trail Activities: Bike, Inline Skating, Fishing, Wheelchair Accessible, Walking, etc.
“This is a great ride on those scorching hot summer days. Most of the bikeway is lined with an abundance of foliage that gives the effect of riding through a long, green tunnel.” A great place to do some “reflecting.”
Back in 1994-95 when I lived in Newark,Ohio I would jog on this trail in the evenings after work. (no night access today) On summer evenings this field was filled with thousands of fireflies.A sight I will never forget. I’ve also “biked” this trail a couple times and found it an enjoyable experience.
Many sections also interact with Raccoon Creek, a small stream that runs east to feed the Licking River.
If you're unable to do the entire length, the most picturesque stretch appears just after passing the metal grain elevators of the Granville Milling Co.
In one spot, you've got pastures on your left and right sides, with cows giving you their blank trademark stare.(No cows today)
From the “Mill” in Granville it is just a short walk downtown where you will find some great places to eat. Linda and I met each other in Newark and we would often drive or walk to Granville and eat at:
And now a mystery photo. Do you have any idea what this is a photo of or what it is for? I didn’t till I asked another trail walker.
That’s all folks. Thanks for stopping by. Oh you want to know what the mystery photo is. Ok “Housing for feral cats” Feral cat colonies and homeless cats in the Licking County area of Central Ohio are cared for by Trapping, Neutering, and Returning (TNR) the ferals to their colonies or adopting them to caring homes when possible. That is what I was told.

COMING FROM LANCASTER,OHIO A MY QUALITY TIME POST.MISHMASH MONDAY AND ONE GREAT STOCK TIP. DON’T FORGET TO REINVEST THOSE DIVIDENDS.
I was in Starbucks recently for a coffee and carrot muffin, when I suddenly realized I had a desperate need to fart. There were a lot of people standing around and I didn't want to give up my seat. The music was really, really loud so I timed my farts with the beat of the music. After a couple of songs I started to feel better. I finished my coffee and noticed that everyone was staring at me! And suddenly I remembered ..................... I was listening to my iPod……….............. and how was your day?

“Defensive investors like high dividend yielding stocks and consider them as reliable options that can provide consistent returns year after year. Historically high dividend stocks outperformed the rest of the market despite being less volatile and risky than the rest of the market. Younger investors who aren't targeting 7%-plus dividend yields can especially invest in dividend stocks that are increasing earnings at higher rates. These stocks can potentially boost their dividend payments significantly as their earnings keep going up.” READ MORE My favorite is $NLY……”Annaly Capital Management Inc has a high dividend yield and high EPS growth rate. Its dividend yield is 13.56% and its EPS grew at 23.04% per year in the past five years. Annaly owns, manages, and finances a portfolio of real estate related investments.” Yes I do own $NLY and have for several years….If you are not interested in investments then::::

Senior’s No Best and News that May or May not be Seditious. A calculating My Quality Time Post from Lancaster,Ohio (WEEK IN REVIEW)
Be warned: AL-GEBRA MOVEMENT A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not i...dentify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y'
and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are three sides to every triangle'. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Barack Hussein Obama said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.' White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that another Nobel Prize will follow……………………………………………………………….
If the above is not enough to worry about then how about this: Facebook IPO Is US Intel Operation?
There is a group of impossibly wealthy families, in our view − a power elite initially based in the City of London − that controls central banking around the world. This handful of families uses trillions in cash flow to aid in the construction of what is popularly known as the New World Order. Facebook, from what we can tell, is a kind of false flag intended to gather huge numbers of users in an environment that will be – at least gently – pro-globalist. Or at least useful to the globalist agenda.READ THE WHOLE STORY……………………………

www.usdebt.kleptocracy.us The reported US debt was recorded as $15,170,600,000,000 as of 1/1/12. The entire Gross Domestic Product for the US as of 12/31/11 is $15,064,816,000,000 or in other words, we now owe more than an entire years GDP. But that is not the true national debt. If you add in unfunded Medicare, Prescription Drugs, Social Security, Military retirement and Civil Servant pensions, the true deficit is $114.5 trillion!!!!! Expect ever growing deficits regardless of who is in office. Further, when they start being forced to cut entitlements, the sh*t will hit the fan!!! That's why we need a blue ribbon bipartisan committee to come up with hard fixes that are binding!

The $2.99 Special “We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. 'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.' 'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,' the waitress warned her. 'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously. 'YES!' stated the waitress. 'I'll take the special then,' my wife said..'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake. DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!! WE'VE been around the block more than once! You Know there shouldn’t be any Seniors::According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint.We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors! We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing. You get the idea..”
