Before we begin the mash-up madness, here are some photos I promised.  Just a note, the leaves are from last fall.  This fall they weren't as vivid.  The cold weather followed by warm and then freezing really took it's toll and they never turned.  Most of the other pictures come from this summer.

OK so this is my side yard.  I put those windsocks up because I was having a squirrel and rabbit problem.  Apparently the motion will scare them away.  It was to no avail.  The rabbits burrowed into my yard but they were on the receiving end of my hose.


One of those trees is my neighbor's actually so I guess that doesn't count.

These are my delicious apples.  They don't look that delicious because we didn't have much rain this year so they never fully developed.

These are my Jonathon apples early in the season.  I demand your respect because I grow those organically.

Oh...Amish...notice how you can tell the Amish have been on the road...yes, it's fun seeing steaming piles of horse shit outside my house because they don't like to take their buggies through the main street in town.

They also hog the damn road.

This is a fun German restaurant located across the highway from an Air Force base.

This is my favorite.  It's a roadside produce stand.  Notice there is some produce sitting on the table but there isn't a worker.  Well it's operated on the honor system.  The people that run the stand are part of the German Baptist religion.  They are sort of like Amish but they believe in electricity and cars.  I like to call them the electric Amish.  Anyway they have the suggested price for the food and then you drop the money in the grey post next to that flower pot.  Stands like that are all over the place around here.  I am amazed by the honesty.

The Mash-Up Madness

This one has elements of three songs or at least I think I am picking up three songs.  "White Wedding" by Billy Idol, "Other Side" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and "Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas.  I am mixed on this one.

I think this could be the WTF mash-up of the week.  "Country Grammar" by Nelly mixed with "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Maybe I am over thinking that because "Sweet Home Alabama" has been sampled by so many bands, I'm pointing at you Kid Rock.

Remember when I said Eminem is commonlly mashed?  Well here is his song "Without Me" mashed up with Shakira's "Wherever". I can sort of get into this one.

Well that is all for this week.  I hope you enjoy.
