Young Harris Wing House  Whether I am hiking or researching and showing property, when I am up in North Ga along the NC line, The Young Harris Wing House has become my favorite stop! The food is delicious and the people are great, and it is about a lot more than just wings!!!! On my last two stops I had a chicken philly and a burger. Both were absolutely outstanding. OOOOHHHH, and the spriral cut “sidewinder” fries are great! The restaurant is owned by the same folks that own Osborn Farms meat market and all of the beef is grown by them. The chicken is also locally and healthily grown at Springer Mountain Farms. They also have a small but full bar with a nice selection. There is also a cooler stocked with steaks and such from the meat market. Grab some great steaks to go. The next time ... 02/12/2024

Here’s Your Sign . . . .     Bill Engvall, a comedian and recent contestant on Dancing With The Stars, has a stand-up bit he does as part of his act with The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.  His act includes quips about really stupid things people do or say and ends each with the tagline “Here’s Your Sign”.   I had a real “Here’s Your Sign” moment today that totally overwhelmed me!  Bill and I are fighting a flu bug and so I ran into the local dollar store to grab some cough drops and other OTC medicine which, apparently, you have to be a certain age to purchase.       The conversation between the High School Age-Looking Cashier and I goes like this:     “I need your birth date”   “2-1-60”   (for those of you trying to do the math, I’ll be 54 soon)   “What month is that”     (Seriously) “Febru... 12/31/2013

Sewage Treatment and disposal on an individual lot is done with the combination of a septic tank and a drain field. the effectiveness of a sewage disposal system depends largely on the soil characteristics of the drain field. The soils at a particular site may be inadequate for absorbing and properly treating the septic tank effluent if the bedrock is at a shallow depth, the slope is excessive, the water table is high, there is subject to flooding, or the soils are too dense. A failing septic system is a direct health hazard to you and your neighbors. It can contaminate surrounding drinking water supplies, pollute creeks and rivers, and cause an unpleasant odor in your home. There have been cases of people drinking contaminated with E. coli (a bacteria from both human and animal feces.... 01/15/2009
