This is a picture of a typical dogtrot cabin used in this area in the early 1800s. This cabin was built in 1837 and occupied continuously until a few years ago. It rests beside a plush golf course that is part of an upscale housing development. The second picture gives an idea of the size of the logs used to build the cabin. The third picture is of one of the front windows. Note how wavy the glass is.
The first part of the day after my morning walk was spent watching the conclusion of the last round of the US Open golf tournament. The unknown golfer who was leading yesterday folded today, while the relatively unknown Lucas Glover survived a very tough course and a strong challenge from Phil Mickelson to win by two shots. Tiger Woods never was able to get his putting going and finished four shots back.I had some chores that needed to be done in town, such as a trip to the library and a stop at the WalMart Mall. We use the library in Tuscaloosa a lot when visiting Terri. They have a good selection of new mystery novels, and I have found that their dvd selection has some good choices if I spend the time looking through them. Recently, I discovered the first three seasons of Boston Legal on dvd at the library, so we have enjoyed viewing a show that we had not watched before. William Shatner is a standout as Denny Crain. Before that, I found The Closer, starring Kyra Sedgewick. Another good one.
I also returned the defective digital thermostat to the WalMart Mall. They did not have another one to swap the defective one with, so we'll look elsewhere down the road. I still see the potential for the digital thermostat.
Terri's car needs to have the front brakes checked, so I'll be going to pick her up for an appointment at an automotive shop first thing in the morning. Looks like an early start tomorrow.
More later, be safe.
