The Vikings Peterson Decision - Take 3

I grew up a Vikings fan. Fran Tarkenton and Alan Page were my heroes growing up. But Adrian Peterson has been pretty reprehensible on all accounts.

Few more views of some favorite things around Watkinsville this week

Image
Enjoyed speaking with voters Sunday in Watkinsville, walking from the south end to the north. We have an incredibly close and diverse small town, where almost everyone at least knows of one and other, but for the most part we respect each other and leave each other alone. If we need help it is always good to know it is there, and that is beyond color of skin, church you attend, or what party you may or may not belong to. We take care of each other.  I want to give businesses a honest opportunity to be reckoned with on the merits of their application and not try to force my moral agenda on anyone ever. Bought some DeWitt Smith pottery coffee mugs at the OCAF sale, and enjoyed eating at the last day of the Watkinsville edition of Kumquat Mae.
