Kitten has a home! :-)

Toma, whom I know from elementary school, and who lives with her family near Augusta, GA, has adopted kitten! We met today in Swainsboro, GA, which is about halfway between our homes, and she took kitten home. I'm very happy knowing that kitten will be raised in a good home. Thank you, Toma!

And for everyone else, here are some videos of the adorable kitten that you missed the opportunity to adopt:





On my drive back to Waycross, I stopped several times along the way to take photographs. Just south of Swainsboro on US1, I found my dream house. I would LOVE to move this house to my mom's land. It is perfect... a foursquare front with four rooms and a central hallway, with an L addition off the back for the kitchen and bathroom. It has a front porch and a back porch off the L addition. It's structurally sound with no signs (or scents) of water damage. And it's EMPTY and could totally be moved. Although it has a new roof, which makes me suspect someone might be planning to do something with it. Also, moving a house that big roughly 100 miles would be really damn expensive. But still, look at it.... PERFECT!

I thought this was a pretty scenic spot:

Can you believe I'd never seen cotton au naturale before?

I also found a pretty neat old cemetery.

And lastly, I photographed this old church on DeVanderene Rd in Ware County.

And on a brief and completely different note: I've been watching the CNN/YouTube Republican debate while resizing photos and blogging. I always have a hard time objectively ranking and discussing all-Republican events, simply because I disagree with so much of what they say. For that reason, I'm not going to bother discussing their content. Regarding performance, I thought Huckabee and McCain performed the best. Giuliani needs to stop making every sentence about New York. And I would love to watch Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich debate each other, because they're such weird little gnomes, and that would be entertaining. Tactically, I think that it would be fabulous for the Democratic party for Mitt Romney to be the GOP nominee simply because I am convinced he can't win the Bible belt.

The candidates fighting it out for the GOP nomination are mostly a bunch of tools who I can't stand, and I'm a registered Republican. Giuliani had a great record on crime and improving New York before 9/11, but now he's just insane, Huckabee had a great debate, but is a pure politician beholden to special interests (nice record of accepting gifts in Arkansas), Romney is a Mormon whack-job who acted like every question was a surprise, McCain is too old to win, although he was my man 8 years ago, Paul I love, but he'll end up running third party, and everyone else has no chance.

Democrats will take the White House. I just pray that it's anyone but Clinton.
