Crackers, "Bamas", And Peckerwoods

The above painting is by John James Audubon of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

Crackers are from Georgia and Florida but there is more to it than that. Much more. See the link below for the origins of the word and many more meanings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_cracker

"Bamas" are what blacks in Washington, D.C. call other blacks who have just moved up to D.C. from down South.

Peckerwood is another slang term for poor whites.

And here is something about the Ivory Billed Woodpecker.

Ace Of Hearts In The Snow And Ice In Chicago March 1965

I asked Rachel to take a picture of this Ace of Hearts card frozen in ice in Chicago in March of 1965 when we were going to the train station to leave for New Orleans. Chicago was bitterly cold but when we arrived in New Orleans it was very warm and the azaleas were in bloom. We had to take our coats off.

I had always wished this photo had been taken in color so as to show the Ace Of Hearts in Color contrasted with the white ice which is what caught my eye in the first place.
So this morning I printed a copy of the black and white photo and colored the card red and then scanned it. 
  Click on the above photos to enlarge them. Now I have the red card in the white ice.

And the picture above is what New Orleans looked like when we arrived in March of 1965. That is Jackson Square with azaleas in full bloom.

Various Meanings of Tally Ho

Tally Ho has many meanings besides being the name of the above movie theater in Leesburg, Virginia.
#1: It is what fox hunters yell when they see the fox.
#2: It is what Royal Air Force pilots used to yell when they saw a German plane in WW2.
#3: It is what we would say when we lived in East Texas in Kirbyville in 1952 to 1955 and we had a young filly named Tally. We would mount up and say Tally Ho! That is why this blog is named Tally Ho!
#4: For many more interesting meanings of Tally Ho click on the wikipedia link below.

The Tally Ho Movie Theater In Leesburg Virginia Has No Relation To This Blog

The above is a review of the new theater by The Washington Post.

I drove by this place today. I had never noticed it before. It has no relation to this blog.
It had closed in the year 2000. The marquee is new and the old one must have been much smaller.

Christmas Conflict At Loudon County Courthouse In Leesburg Virginia

http://ethicsalarms.com/2011/12/15/the-loudon-county-courthouse-christmas-display-fiasco-anatomy-of-an-ethics-train-wreck/

http://ethicsalarms.com/2011/12/15/the-loudon-county-courthouse-christmas-display-fiasco-anatomy-of-an-ethics-train-wreck/

I guess the good people of Leesburg, Va. in Loudon County Virginia have never heard of the separation of church and state. And if they have they don't understand what it means.
The simple answer to this nonsense is to ban all displays on the courthouse lawn. And tell these people to put their displays on their own property. Case closed.

This so stupid it boggles the mind and makes the pople of that county look dumb. I know many of the residents with brains must be very embarassed by this ongoing nonsense.

Those steps over the fence are called a stile.

When we lived in Kirbyville, Texas back in 1952 through 1955 I thought of Call, Texas as a ghost town. It had once been a thriving lumber mill town.
