This weekend was a sad time for me.  My favorite forum in the whole world closed.  Although it is true that I still have contact with several of my friends from there it is still bittersweet.  I awoke Saturday to find that our internet service was out and it stayed that way until Sunday morning.  [...]

Today we visited Kingston, TN.  Here are some pictures and a little history that most Tennesseans do not know.  Kingston was once the capitol of TN for a day. 

We learned even more interesting facts once inside.  It’s amazing to think of all of the people who one walked through this building.
