I stayed for the re-enactment because I was curious to see them fire the cannons. The "throats" of the five the city has collected are different. I was curious about how they would sound. I guess that makes me a sort of gun geek. After the first cannon blast Kay turned her hearing aid off and still flinched every time one went off. I think she and Nadine just hung around for the roast corn, boiled peanuts and funnel cake.
Kay and I both spent most of yesterday in doctor's waiting rooms. Kay finally got in for her 9-o-clock appointment around 11. We just had time to grab lunch and make it to my 1-o-clock appointment in another city. Well, I guess doctor’s appointments are one way to catch up on your reading.
I've been reading “A Nation of Farmers: Defeating the food crisis on American soil" about the connection between the oil supply and the food supply. It made for good Halloween season reading. Scary stuff. The book helped me better understand why Kay is pushing things more into food production. I can support the new direction now that I know my daylilies are safe. Aside from attracting pollinators, you can eat daylilies if you are hungry enough. Lol.The author’s definition of farming is rather loose covering anyone involved in food production.
We were behind a truck hauling peanuts on our way home. I was teasing Kay that if we followed him we could catch enough peanuts blowing off the truck to make our Thanksgiving peanut pie. It is probably a crude winnowing process. The peanuts light enough to blow out of the back of the trucks probably aren't that good, but it does explain why there is the occasional peanut growing alongside the road. (Jim)

Picture#1 is the Cannon that has the loudest voice and you can fell its roar too the bone.
Picture#2 &3 has a deeper roar but wow I think they should name this cannon “Smokey”
Picture#4 here is a picture of a peanut huller wagon quite full huummm could I sneak up there LOL.
