 | THE ADVENTURES OF SHARON AND JACKIE In this episode the demented duo try to survive the harsh summer of the Eastern Sierras! August'08 Camping at Rock Creek,Fishing and rafting on Convict Lake, Hiking Little Lakes Valley/The John Muir Trail |
 | The Devil made me hike it The rest of this week I plan to do one day hops from point to point as I head south along the Eastern Sierras. There are a bunch of cool little lakes and volcanic features on this scenic route. Tomorrow I plan to check out Convict Lake and nearby Hot Creek. Last night I crashed in the Mono Lake visitor center parking lot. Since I saved some cash on a camp sight I decided to treat myself to a hot meal. Got me a barbecued pork sandwich at Bodie Mike's in the nearby town of Lee Vining. Since I was sleeping in a parking lot there were no trees to shade me from the sun so I woke and hit the road early. I cruised into Mammoth Ski resort where I thought about riding the gondolas to the summit and doing a little mountain biking...until I found out the lift ticket was $40! Fun but not in the budget. Instead I went off the side of Mammoth mountain and down deep into the valley below. Procured a camp sight, washed some clothes and scored so big in the personal hygiene department I almost want to stay another night!

 | Porter Wagoner - I Relived My Life Today Porter Wagoner's - I relived My Life Today, from his 1967 RCA Victor album 'Soul of a Convict & Other Great Prison Songs'. His trademark public wardrobe contained over 60 handmade rhinestone suits. Porter was reported to have remarked, " Rhinestone suits are just beautiful under the lights," he said. "They've become a big part of my career. I get more compliments on my outfits than any other entertainer - except for Liberace." The music and the lyrics are provided for entertainment and educational purposes only. I Relived My Life Today Tonight my heart's as heavy as these cold gray walls of stone 'Cause I know I'll see my last sunrise with tomorrow's early dawn 'Cause an old gray haired judge said guilty for your crime you must pay So with the final curtain falling I relived my life today From the time my mama tucked me so gently in my bed And said, "son don't worry about tomorrow that's another dream ahead." To the sad eyed old barber that just shaved my head and slipped away These are the first and final chapters of my life I relived today I remember the prettiest girl I ever knew with big bue eyes and lips so sweet How every Saturday back on the farm we'd go swimmin' in the creek And the big tent revivals where all the neighbors would sing and pray That's another chapter of my life I relived today There's my old faithful dog that walked in every step I made Sometimes he'd follow me to school And just lay around there and wait in the shade When my final class was over and on the way home we'd run and play That's just another chapter of my life I relived today My brother Jim died in his cradle, some kind of fever they didn't know what Dad used to look at me and say, "son now you're the only little man I've got." But somewhere along life's pathway, fate took my hand and I went astray That's another chapter of my life I relived today Yes tonight my heart's as heavy as these cold gray walls of stone 'Cause I know I'll see my last sunrise with tomorrow's early dawn 'Cause the old gray haired judge said guilty for your crime you must pay So with the final curtain falling I relived my life today Video created on April 10/2008 by MisterCanning. |

 | Raid--Latter day Saints, San Angelo, Texas This is but one news footage of the incident that occurred near San Angelo, Texas. Who is backing this woman's book? A woman who sought medical help for one of her children she had by a man she was married to for 17 years? You decide. SubieSisters ------------------------------------------- Just before dawn on July 26, 1953, 102 Arizona state police officers and soldiers from the National Guard entered Short Creek. The community—which was composed of approximately 400 Mormon fundamentalists—had been tipped off about the planned raid and were found singing hymns in the schoolhouse while the children played outside. The entire community was taken into custody, with the exception of six individuals who were found not to be fundamentalist Mormons.[2] Among those taken into custody were 236 children. One hundred and fifty of the children who were taken into custody were not permitted to return to their parents for over two years, and some parents never did regain custody of their children.[3] Arizona Governor John Howard Pyle initially called the raid "a momentous police action against insurrection"[4] and described the Mormon fundamentalists as participating in "the foulest conspiracy you could possibly imagine" that was designed to produce "white slaves."[2] Over 100 reporters had been invited by Pyle to accompany the police to observe the raid. However, the raid and its tactics attracted mostly negative media reaction; one newspaper editorialized: By what stretch of the imagination could the actions of the Short Creek children be classified as insurrection? Were those teenagers playing volleyball in a school yard inspiring a rebellion? Insurrection? Well, if so, an insurrection with diapers and volleyballs![5] In the same week that the Korean War ceasefire was achieved, the raid achieved notoriety in media across the United States, including articles in Time[6] and Newsweek,[7] with many media outlets describing the raid as "odious" or "un-American".[8] One commentator has suggested that commentary of the raid was "probably the first time in history that American polygamists had received media coverage that was largely sympathetic."[9] Another has suggested that the raid's "only American parallel is the federal actions against Native Americans in the nineteenth century."[10] When Pyle lost his bid for re-election in 1954 to Democratic candidate Ernest McFarland, Pyle blamed the fallout from the raid as having destroyed his political career.[11] One of the few media outlets to applaud the raid was the Salt Lake City-based Deseret News, which was owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[12] The News applauded the action as a needed response to prevent the fundamentalists from becoming "a cancer of a sort that is beyond hope of human repair."[13] When the paper later editorialized its support for separating children from their polygamist parents, there was a backlash against the paper and the church by a number of Latter-day Saints, including Juanita Brooks, who complained that the church organ was approving of "such a basically cruel and wicked thing as the taking of little children from their mother."[8] The Short Creek raid was the last action against polygamous Mormon fundamentalists that has been actively supported by the LDS Church.[14] After the Short Creek raid, the Mormon polygamist colony at Short Creek eventually rejuvenated. Short Creek was renamed Colorado City in 1960. In 1991, the Mormon fundamentalists at Colorado City formally established the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The members of the sect did not face any prosecutions for its polygamous behavior until the late 1990s, when isolated individuals began to be prosecuted.[15] In 2006, FLDS Church leader Warren Jeffs was placed on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List; he was arrested and convicted in 2007 of being an accomplice to rape for performing a wedding between a 19-year-old man and his 14-year-old cousin. On 3 April 2008, following allegations of physical and sexual abuse of a 16-year-old girl, law enforcement officers raided a FLDS compound Jeffs had founded in Texas called the YFZ Ranch.[16] As of 8 April, a total of 416 children had been removed from the compound by authorities.[17] A noted former member of the FLDS church, Carolyn Jessop, arrived on-site 6 April and stated that the actions in Texas are unlike the Short Creek raid.[18] |
 | 597. Anderson's Coast (John Warner) Dave Ellis sings "Anderson's Coast" at the Hong Kong Folk Society at The Canny Man. John Warner is a folk historian and songwriter whose stock-in-trade is poignant and well-researched songs about Ausralian social history and heritage. Here are John's own comments about his song, Anderson's Coast: Anderson's Coast is one of a collection I wrote to be used at Coal Creek historical village, Korumburra, Victoria. I was looking at a number of stories about the development of that part of Gippsland. I was reading about the expedition conducted by Count Strzlecki, who was close to starvation and living on raw koala brought down from the trees by an aboriginal guide, Charlie Tarra. The four or so men of the expedition found a group of convicts from Van Diemen's land living in a deserted stockade. These convicts fed the explorers, and guided them to Anderson, a local squatter who laid claim to about 40 miles of the Gippsland coast. There is still a small settlement called Anderson and Anderson's inlet. Anderson reported the arrival of the explorers and looked after them. It is believed the convicts were pardoned for their assistance to the explorers I walked on one of those beaches when I was about 13 years old, on a cold, windy day with Bass strait looking as desolate as I had ever seen it, and that memory came forcibly back to me when I considered those marooned convicts, unable to travel further in any direction and eking out a miserable survival on feral cattle and bush tucker. The thought of one of them sitting on that very beach, looking out southward and chewing over hopeless memories precipitated the song. Anderson's Coast and a number of my other songs are on "Pithead In The Fern" which is a celebration in song of the development and history of the region I lived in during the 1960's. Lyrics: Now Bass Strait roars like some great millrace --And where are you, my Annie? And the same moon shines on this lonely place As shone one day on my Annie's face. Cho: But Annie dear, don't wait for me. I fear I shall not return to thee. There's naught to do but endure my fate, And watch the moon, the lonely moon, Light the breakers on wild Bass Strait. We stole a vessel and all her gear --And where are you, my Annie? And from Van Diemen's we north did steer Till Bass Strait's wild waves wrecked us here. And somewhere west Port Melbourne lies --And where are you, my Annie? Through swamps infested with snakes and flies. The fool who walks there, he surely dies. We hail no ships, though the time it drags. --And where are you, my Annie? Our chain-gang walk and our government rags. All mark us out as Van Diemen's lags. We fled the lash and the chafing chain. --And where are you, my Annie? We fled hard labour and brutal pain, And here we are and here remain. |
