Me and a group of friends went here after hours, immediately before the bridge, there was a rock thrown at a trashcan out in the distance. While approaching the lock we saw lights out in the distance. After we arrived back at the bridge and we were walking to the car we heard a distant scream of a woman, and as soon as we started running all of the lights turned off. Really freaky would definitely check this out
Thank you Darlene for posting this picture. My husband is a descendent of Increase Rudd, Barak, Marvarick (Maverick), Mary Rudd Jones.
Have you learned any more about the people in this picture?

I currently own the house that was once owned by mary anne Rockefeller rudd and Willima Cullen Rudd. Both died in the house and their last son Frank rudd lived there until his death in 1966. It is located at 13204 Euclid Ave
I have been running at grings mill for years. I have not sensed anything, but there were times i thought i saw someone out in front of me. I would get closer and all of sudden i lost sight of the person. I thought it must of been my imagination, but now it makes me wonder. It was just recently that I heard this story. I still love going there and makes me feel sad that something like this happened.
Interesting stuff. Hadn't really thought much about this, but maybe I could put together something to 'mark the graves' of an older generation or two that I am familiar with for future generation. Especially if I can remember where their headstones can be located. Haven't been back there in 40 or so. Better make a few notes first.

PS cool test to see if I am human. wish I had though of it before as its always been a question in my mind.
What is the authoritative source for the statement, made above, that the Casino was intended as "an exclusive gentlemen's club for residents of St. James and Belgravia Courts"? Who knows this? Does Wm. Slaughter or the Victoria Land Company tell us the intended purpose of the Casino? Is this just speculation?
I have recently discovered a patch of small irises (about 13 cm tall) in my backyard (in Westlake area of Austin, Texas), which I never planted. I dug one up, and, to my surprise, it did not grow from a corm or rhizome, but from a bulb (The bulb measures around 2 cm long). It was in the process of blooming, but the flower hadn't opened yet, and all of the surrounding kin had already lost their petals. I did get a look at the unopened bud, though. It was about 3 cm long, color was mainly a periwinkle-blue with a central yellow stripe. I'm wondering if it is the species I. reticulata, and if so, if it's native to the Westlake area. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mr. Livingston,
Thank you for a very informative article with information that I have not seen elsewhere.
I wrote a song about Johnny and his dog that is posted on YouTube
and SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-482936990/johnny-morehouse
I appreciate knowing the date since I was striving for accuracy in attempting to fill in the missing details of what occurred. I stand corrected in describing the water as "cold."
If you are inclined to link to the song from your site that would be fine.

Great idea. I know another use of these briquettes; they would be great to take on camping trips. Many parks won't let you bring in firewood claiming that it transports insects. So instead of buying expensive firewood at the parks, just bring along these briquettes for the campfires. They would probably make great firestarters as well.
Iris giganticaerulea is not a native of Texas. According to the USDA plant list (http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=IRGI), this iris is only found in Louisiana.
Yes, the sweet fragrance of these blooms fills the air throughout the vicinity of the trees. I made jam year before last from the fruit from these trees. It was easy to do and the jam was delicious.
Plums are one of my favourite spring bloomers. The fragrance is so wonderful; not to mention the beauty of the flowers and the wonderful jam one can make with the fruit.
This is a great article, clear precise directions and the photos help to illustrate the steps needed to make the candied tangerine peels. I don't have tangerine trees here but I intend to purchase some tangerines so I can try this recipe. Thanks for sharing this.
Some of the cultivars of irises are done with the intent of increasing the bloom size. I have some breaded irises that are prone to bending and breaking; especially during rain storms. These wild irises prove that bigger is not always better as they are very pretty.
These are beautiful flowers; I like the diffences compared to bearded irises. I wonder if I could transplant these to my gardens? What sort of soil do they require?
That was interesting. In my family, black eyed peas were regular fare, but I never paid much attention to how they were cooked or even if they were cooked, as opposed to being poured from a can into a pan. In recent years, I've tried to cook them myself, with varying degrees of good and bad luck.
I wandered in from your link on Google+, but I think I already commented, plussed and liked on one of the other 92 sites. I suppose if we were younger the variety would be exciting, but sometimes it "plum" tuckers me out.
What a great article. Thank you so much for writing and sharing the history of black-eyed peas and how the tradition of eating them for good luck on New Year's Day got started.
Some one told me they like http://billiongraves.com/ better for posting but I have not figured out how to search and find things there yet. I haven't spent a lot of time there yet though.
Hi! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after going through a few of the articles I realized it's new to me. Anyhow, I'm certainly delighted I found it and I'll be book-marking it and checking back regularly!
if you don?t get at least 7-9 hours of sleep per night, any persistent feelings tiredness is most likely due to not getting enough sleep on a regular basis, rather than having too much REM. Although some people can ?get by? on less than 7 hours of sleep?or think that they can ?get by?? it?s not sustainable. The human body pays a heavy toll in the long-run, including higher risks for heart disease and diabetes and a decrease in cognitive abilities. If it?s work that?s keeping you up, strongly consider making sleep a higher priority, one way or another.
Yeah this has become totally normal now. Recently I saw some pieces on shows like CNN and the journal with Joan Lunden on PBS that were talking about issues and solutions for industrial recycling. This kind of thing takes it to the next level.
In my opinion too many people take sleep for granted. It is usually low on the priority list when there is a time crunch and something has to go. As hard as it is to believe some people are too lazy to go to bed at night. We should make sleep a higher priority because it helps us do more during the times we are awake.
Ron, I can't get to your Multiply page! Anyway, I read the article you linked to, and it seems as though it's not that soy products are processed with msg, but that msg is a by-product of hydrolysis of soy protein. I am guessing that glutamic acid is a component of soy proteins, and that when the protein is hydrolized, it breaks down into the glutamate salt. End effect is the same, but the process is different.
"I prefer the 'just the facts' treatment because all so often the facts themselves are what makes a subject so interesting"
Haha, I always think that facts can vary based on perspective. Best of luck on your new venture.
By the way, given that I had to give an Algebra lesson in an office skills course I taught, it is quite possible that some non-spammers won't be able to solve your anti-spam equation!
