Sponsored by the Oconee Democrats, our group meets the last Wednesday of each month (that's April 24th) at 7 at the Tlaloc Mexican restaurant in the Bell's shopping center in Watkinsville.

Another fine country acoustic song written by Greg "Redneck GReece" Reece about another view of our Savior on the day of His Resurrection.

GOP Fighting Kills Sweeping Gun Bill

You would think there would be texts or some kind of social media sharing amongst the more communicative of the shoplifting crowd that says something to the effect of "you do not want to stuff your pants full of merchandise at the Wally World on Epps Bridge because their private po-po going to throw you down and bust your brow" - and same for the other stores in that area. Hope the new mall does not have the similar problems, but sadly that is a normal course of economic success is those that try to elude normal channels of proper purchase.

My first encounter with Oconee County as a freshman was trying to date a young lady from Bogart named Jane Daniel in 1981. I fell in deep passionate puppy love over her smile and Southern charm as she sang in the band the Drastics (later to be Rum Jungle) with her brother John and his girlfriend Ellen Hendrix and Mike Dellinger. I think I was one of about a hundred and fifty young men in love with the fiery vixen. I stashed my stuff at her house in a shed when I went back to Iowa for my one and only college summer home in 1982.
