Long Fall Shadows
I just thought that the evening shadows were delightful. Fall is here.
NC Telecom Update
Well, the judge in the NCT bankruptcy case ruled that our reorganization plan and auction should move forward as presented in our motion. He apparently did not buy the argument that the parent company or current management (moi) allowed our personal stakes in the results to influence our decisions regarding the plan of reorganization. We have an auction scheduled for November 21, 2008 at which time someone will become the new owner of NCT’s assets.
What does this mean from my perspective? Well, unless the operating portion of the company is shut down by the winning bidder, I will probably have a position with the new operator. I guess we’ll find out in November.
Round Bales This Time
After we cut there were several days of light rain and the hay was a bit heavy, It dried well but our neighbor thought it would be better if he used his big round baler rather than the small baler.
Little Baby Chick
This little guy (or girl) was hatched last week and gets around pretty well already! He never gets more than a few feet from mother hen, but he ranges all over the yard, arena and pasture. He was one of about 5 eggs in the nest but the only one that hatched for some reason.
Bonfire for Jeff’s birthday
Sandi and I invited Jeff and Leta for dinner for his birthday and lit up a huge pile of brush and other stuff we had gathered from around the property over the summer. It was quite a display! I snapped this great silhouette of Jeff while he was tending the fire.
Here is a photo of the bonfire itself. This is two photos stitched together using a free iPhone application. It leaves a slight line where the two photos meet and doesn’t do as good a job as my PC-based stitching software, but it gets the job done.
