Sorry about the non-FJR content...so sue me.

Walked downtown Greenville SC with Louanne Saturday morning...

right past the memorial for Major Rudolph Anderson Jr...a Greenville, SC resident, he was one of the few known casualties of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

RIP Major Anderson, October 27, 1962.





Attended a Fall for Greenville Food Beverage and Music Fest...AWESOME!



After having a STAX breakfast this morning and a great ride into the mountains with Griff and 1911(See One Picture RR), I scurried home to a date with Louanne to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville...this was more for wifey, but I enjoyed it as well.

That place has to much class for you Mark. Good thing you had your bride with you.

You got that right.

But I would call the place fancy, more than classy. I'm sure the Vanderbilts had a lot of class, but money doesn't give you class. I know a good amount of normal people who, in my book, have a lot of class.

But I hear what yer sayin Ray, and agree wholeheartedly. I'm just a goober that has come home to roost.

Wow, the gardens look spectacular, especially for mid-October.

I've GOT to get a helmet cam. Following Mark down a stretch of 276 through broken sunlight, leaves falling like heavy wet snowflakes, and leaves being kicked up from the road, would have made one of my all-time favorite m/c pics/vids.

Saw this for October 27, 1962, the day that Major Anderson's U2 was shot down over Cuba.

I can only take pictures where I am when I take them. Shoeless Joe's place in the West End wasn't on the list. (I hear he was a pretty good textile mill ball player)

edit: I like MY downtown better-n-yers.

It's all a matter of taste, my friend.
