Regurgitation
When you have nothing in your fried brain it is nice to be able to regurgitate your brilliance that was dumped onto the Internet in prior posts by linking to it. The recent headlines about Nashville brought to mind a post of mine that I have linked to once before about a challenge I faced when I was younger and stronger. For some antique knowledge of that time go here. Some of you have been readers for a long time and I am thankful but this may be an old story for you.

Your account of that historic event was very well written and very sanely reported. I do not believe I could ever describe such a traumatic incident with such accuracy and calm. Surely you were not like that at the time. I certainly admire you and your spouse.
ReplyDeleteWow Tabor! What an awful experience and yet a thankful one that no one was injured or killed. But the months of restoration had to be so trying.

yes, I read it. Are you glad you no longer live there? But don't you live by another stream now?
ReplyDeleteMy, you have been a blogger for a long time and you still have things to say. I hope I can keep going like you.
Reading that was like watching a newsreel. Glad you were all safe but sorry you lost so much! You're proof that life does go on and sometimes happily.
ReplyDeleteEven though I read it before, it was great reading it again. What life can toss us, huh?
ReplyDeleteHoly Mackerel. What a tragedy! I can't imagine it, and only thank heavens that I have been so fortunate to not have such an experience. My heart goes out to everyone in the path of natural disaster - or otherwise, even! I am also thankful that you came through that experience with memories to share, and that you had the energy you needed when you were younger.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the regurgitation - It would likely have been quite some time before I found this story on your blog!
Wow, that's an amazing story. What an awful tragedy to have to live through, but maybe it's good too that you did go through that experience. You now can empathize with others who are going through the same thing and understand better than the rest of us what it's like.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your blog title I thought I might be reading about a mama bird feeding her young (plausible, coming from you)but instead it was an eye-popping revisit to one of the most traumatic visions of your life. Does your daughter still remember the fish swimming beneath the kitchen table? I think I will, and I wasn't even there.
ReplyDeleteTabor, I will follow the link.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comment on my blog. Just now I post some photos of my grandson Daniel.
Have a nice week ahead.
I'm so glad you are alive and well now. No fire ants either. Hugs.........
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh; having lived through that I guess you are able to face almost any catastrophe that might come along. I guess what doesn't kill you makes you strong.
ReplyDeleteYou are so interesting to read. "she's got a good head on her shoulders" as dad would say.
ReplyDeleteWow---I had no idea you had been through such tragedy, Tabor. SCARY!!!! And you are right... It's now that the Nashville area needs our help more than ever. People seem to help at first--and then forget about the flood when the going is even tougher.
ReplyDeleteTennessee is a good state though when it comes to neighbor-helping-neighbor. And with so many country music stars involved personally---their money is helping those who need the help.
Guess you have to experience this kind of tragedy to realize just how horribly difficult it is.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
