What the hell, commander bone spurs?
So now, the country that used to be the most powerful in the world is launching unprovoked attacks against nations we don't like? Who does that? Well, the last place that did was Russia. Anyway, be that it may, Bombing people who haven't done anything to us is so wrong and evil. When this is all over, thousands of mothers and fathers will be mourning their children, and it will be our fault. On top of everything else, the attack was unconstitutional. Impeach the a****** and throw him in prison.

Review of David Crockett State Park, Tennessee
Last weekend we spent four nights at David Crockett State Park, near Lawrenceburg in South Central Tennessee. We enjoyed the place. The park is large, and is right in the middle of a forest. Walls of trees line all the roads in the park. We stayed in the sole accessible cabin. There are six other cabins, of which two are pet friendly. It's too bad that the accessible cabin is not pet friendly. We stayed in the park because it's about halfway between where we live and where my two sisters live. So it was a mini family reunion. The two of us, one of our daughters and her husband, and both of my sisters and their husbands. We could not get into the regular cabin and we couldn't get into the camper. But everybody could fit in our cabin. The problem is that there were three dogs as part of the party! The cabin was more nicely appointed than any apartment we ever lived in. It has a great room consisting of the kitchen, dining room, and living room, with a fireplace, ceiling fans, flat screen tv, and everything you would want in the kitchen. There are also two bedrooms, one of which is fully accessible. Many places claim to be accessible to wheelchairs. This one actually is.
Another good thing about the park is the wildlife. we saw dozens of deer, or at least we sighted dear a couple of dozen times. Some of them were probably the same critters. We also saw rabbits, a heron and armadillos, and a large lake where you can rent boats and fish has a flock of geese and a smaller flock of ducks. There is a walking trail through the woods that is paved, but when they told us over the phone that it was wheelchair accessible that was a gross exaggeration. It is at most 2 ft wide, not very level, and locally very steep. Good for walking. There is a tiny waterfall, and a small waterfall, as well as a tiny museum. And there was lots and lots of woods, with tall trees of a variety of species, both hardwood and conifers.
The cabins are expensive, but given how nice they are, not outrageously so. If you don't want to spend a lot of money and you don't have an RV, there may be tent camping. I didn't notice any.
As a pleasant place to visit in the woods I give this park an A. As an accessible park I give it a B+. The cabin is great, but there isn't a whole lot you can do. For us, that didn't matter much, as we had a lot of catching up to do.
