#PharrPlantation house near #SocialCircle, #Georgia. This house was built in 1840 by slave labor. The bricks came from #England to #Savannah, thence by oxteam to the plantation. The plantation formerly had 150 slaves, is now abandoned by the one remaining member of the family, and the land rented out to small farmers

Eerily calm in #Savannah as the storm's fury is focused inland.

I guess I'll discover whether Progressive pays for more than TV ads. #idalia #savannah

These made a couple of nasty holes in the porch roof but the house is ok so far.

This #savannah #idalia #hurricane update has a fascinating discussion of wind measurement. It seems almost as if no two authorities use the same measurement standards. Scroll down for the good part.

The radio was airing an interview with a weather expert who cited a slight chance of tornadoes spilling off from the approaching hurricane. Just then a loud screech interrupted the broadcast with an automated report from the national weather service of a tornado in an adjacent county heading sort of our way. #idalia #savannah

"Out of an abundance of caution" I hooked the truck up to our camping trailer and hauled it toward the street so limbs are less likely to find it. Somehow I got my own wires crossed and left the driver's side door standing open and the truck running while the skies opened up and a downpour followed. Hate it when my wife discovers that sort of thing. I need coffee.

Good morning! Sharing a pic from Savannah... Under the brooding skies of the Savannah River at Savannah, Georgia, a large cargo vessel glides through waters. The river's surface is a mirror of stillness, reflecting the vessel's towering form.

#Discord also has unacceptable #ToS and is purposefully designed with neither #searchability, #indexability or #accessibility in mind.

Replacing #IssueTracker, #Support and/or (effectively non-existing) #Documentation with a shitty Discord instance is just blatant assholeism and everyone who does even consider doing so in lieu of #GitHub, #GitLab or god forbid even #Savannah and #SpurceForce should be banned from #FLOSS #Project and #CommunityManagment!

Good morning from Tybee Island. #savannah

It’s #WorldLionDay. This is an original first edition lino block print showing a lioness and a lion, sitting in the grass, watching. I was inspired by a photograph my mother took in the Ngorongoro conservation area in Tanzania. It is called, "The Watchers, Ngorongoro". The photo gives the strong impression the lions are watching the people back. ⁠

A broken bone in May didn't end Ty Murphy's dream of returning to the Sale of Champions. Murphy had his #goat's cast with him as he led Coe to the top prize at the Market Wether Goat contest Wednesday at the 121st #Missouri State Fair.

#Savannah's Payton Rodgers picked up reserve grand champion, securing her fourth trip to the annual sale, set for August 19th. #MSF121

Thanks to someone in Boston who got two #Georgia prints of the #Savannah river at #sunrise - if you happen to be here - thank you and please give me a yell!

@bkoehn @ProPublica I was there about 8 years ago and did several tours and I never felt like they shied away from the city's role in the #slave trade. I'm sure they could always do better, but I felt that #Charleston did a great job of representing their #history, both good and evil.

Now, #Savannah... we could talk about how they represent themselves.
