al-Saud a Risky Business for America: Woman Cries for Help, Scales 8-ft Wall to Escape Prince's Beverly Hills Harem Away from Harem

Tony Harrell photography commented on the engagement photos they took for Brent and Joelle:
As South Georgia Wedding Photographers, Lisa and I shoot a lot of engagements and weddings. We normally find the grooms-to-be somewhat reserved in their enthusiasm during the picture taking process. Until Brent. The man is an image producing beast. We couldn’t throw a shot idea at Brent that he didn’t like – nor did he have any problems coming up with stuff on his own. Joelle was right there with him though – in the tick infested overgrowth, the deserted buildings, the potential trespassing… We all had a great time.

Little Man
Now the court square's just a set of streets That the people go round but they seldom think Bout the little man that built this town Before the big money shut em down And killed the little man Oh the little man He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat The new stores came where you do it yourself You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf Forget the little man Forget about that little man He hung on there for a few more years But he couldn't sell slurpees And he wouldn't sell beer Now the bank rents the station To a man down the road And they sell velvet Elvis and Second-hand clothes There goes little man There goes another little man Now the court square's just a set of streets That the people go round but they seldom think Bout the little man that built this town Before the big money shut em down And killed the little man Oh the little man Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip You can buy the whole world in just one trip And save a penny cause it's jumbo size They don't even realize They'er killin' the little man Oh the little man It wasn't long ago when I was a child An old black man came with his mule and his plow He broke the ground where we grew our garden Back before we'd all forgoten about the little man The little man Long live the little man God bless the little man |

Truth be told, folks in South Georgia don't care much for North Georgia Yankees. Alan Jackson you're okay. Calhoun, we owe you. There are other artists who actually are from South Georgia, such as Mickey Thomas of Starship. Abe Lincoln? Grace Slick don't care! |

"We are not sure where Slais called home, probably California, but he came here by way of Moody AFB. He had played sax for Billy Preston's band The Shindogs forthe 60's TV show Shindig. The Jets were an extremely popular band based in Valdosta, GA, in the early and mid 1970s. They played all over Georgia and the Southeast. Their main venue was Doc Holiday's Long Branch Saloon in Five Points. They were the trend setteers of that era. Crowds packed the Long Branch to hear these talented guys." |

Bud Thomas went on to gain fame as Bud Thomas and still resides in Valdosta, Georgia. Many stories about Bud are still told around campfires. Bud is a legend in his own mind.

Pharmacist & Patient Safety Has Not Improved.
Mental Health in America Has Not Improved.

- Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan (for starting the War on Drugs and putting minor drug offenders and the mentally ill in prison). At least you fulfilled your dream of a small government by making the prisons private.
- FDA (For approving the #RxProblem)
- DEA (For making safer drugs such as cannabis and classic hallucinogens illegal)
- American Psychiatric Association (For eliminating non-drug therapies in America)
- Ronald Reagan, we'll also blame you for the mass shootings that happen today. Conservative politicians love blaming them on mental illness. (NRA, you're still on our list).
- When Reagan was elected President in 1980, he discarded a law proposed by his predecessor that would have continued funding federal community mental health centers. This basically eliminated services for people struggling with mental illness.

FADEAWAY, a movie
with a dude named Pavo
"Jamie wants to be a woman; his lover Pavo wants him to remain a man."
|
Set against the backdrop of the hyper machismo world of inner-city basketball and rarified environment of sport, bromance and romance.
Fadeaway intends to share it's heartbreaking intimacy and exuberant athleticism to tell a human story of a man in transition and the world evolving around him."

Enjoy select tunes from Postcards of Life, a family band known outside of the United States for their hit song, Children of the Sun.
