Jimmy B's Blog: In two places at one time!

Just how can a person be in two different at one time?

My left foot, left leg, left knee, left arm, and left hand, left trek pole, left cheek and a third ( I have almost no butt, another inheritance from D.O.D. In fact I should probly use a donut), left ear, left eye and left nostril (did u seriously read all those lefts)!!!??

Are in Georgia! And my right foot, right ankle, right patella, right thigh and right hip, my right thumb and right elbow are in????? North Carolina baby!

Now one would reasonably think, hmmmm north of Georgia wouldn't that be South Carolina?

Well the story has it thisaway; back in the early and mid 30's as the AT was a bein blazed. South Carolina was approached to help build it and be a part of one of America's truly great national treasures. Well it goes like this, it's at that time when that most endearing and enduring phrase very commonly used right up until this day was actually coined. "Say whaaaat, shoooot ain't nobody got time fa dat!" And so, low and behold the trail skips right past SC.

Now check this out yall:

This card was posted several times at a rest stop ON THE TRAIL! Pizza and Beer delivered! Whatayall think ole Jimmy did?

I ain't tellin no lie, I'm sittin in a common area at the famous Neels Gap Hostel the other night. There's about 6 or 8 of us sittin around watchin Gremlins and another 8 or so in the adjoining bunk room. First of all, with a name like Hostel I thought for sure it would be a mean ole nasty place with a lot of angry people but actually everyone was genuinely quite friendly. And then people, there's a knock on the door and a guy peeks in and says, "hey y'all I'm havin some trouble finishing off this here 30 pack of Coors Light, yall think Ya might help a guy out?" He is what's commonly referred to as a Trail Angel". Now whatayall think ole Jimmy did as the man plunked the beer down 2 feet from me?

Critters: I've seen a bunch but this little guy is definitely the most common or since he has at least 98 advantages over me and no pack on his back he may be just catching up to me every night when I'm sleepin. I've seen him every day since Springer Mtn. Anyway I call him a Pugapeed. Cuz just like the dog, unless he's movin forward one really can't tell which is the front or back end.

This is my last 1 for today. Marissa, I'm down to my second to last beef jerky, yummy yum yum. I especially like when there's a piece of gristle. It's like the longest lasting chewing gum u can ask for. U can also like nestle it on down between ur cheek n gum and then like an hour later bring it on back up n it's like fresh as a daisy!
