Vanishing Georgia

This landmark near the Savannah River has often been identified as Smith (Smith’s) Chapel, but further research indicates it was actually the Smith Chapel schoolhouse. Its architecture is typical for a rural schoolhouse of the early 1900s. A 1989 Georgia Historic Resources Survey notes that the church was torn down at some point and this […]

The things you see out there.

Nature never ceases to amaze and seems to always throw the unthinkable and unimaginable at you. It’s what makes it so great out there... everything is just doing what it can to survive.

Snapping turtle are some of the coolest creatures out there too. A turtle that has a strong enough bite to take your fingers off. These turtles have nearly 50-pound bite force that can easily break through small bones. Their sharp and hooked beak is made to rip through things with ease when paired with the force.

These beasts of the water reach just 35 pounds, but are nothing to mess with. Their primary diet includes fish, frogs and birds that they hunt and anything else they can find from plants to dead animals.

This snapper showed these folks just how wild of a turtle they can be when they caught one carrying something big in a stream. The people approach and the turtle gets scared off, letting go of its meal. It reveals a deer fawn that it was carrying around... with its face completely chewed off.

That is some wild stuff.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

A Golden Retriever was caught red handed sneaking into his neighbor's pool. We guess Zeppole really loves the water because he just couldn't wait for his owner to, ya' know, ask for permission to go in. So instead he did what he had to to cool down in the heat.  Zeppole is very cute, but ...Continue reading

While the historic Wish-Bone Restaurant of Kansas City, Missouri doesn't exist today, it's nice to know the success generated by the restaurant's owner put Kansas City on the food map in the 1940s.
