It was snowing harder now. I drove back through the gas station and slowed to a stop to where the young man could see me between the parked cars. I rolled down my window and motioned him to my car. "Me?" he asked, pointing to his chest.











Accessible from shore, this old wreck is a must-see. At a stunning 300 feet in length, this steam ship is older than the Titanic. The only downside to diving this wreck is that it rests in a harbor entrance. You'll need a guide for this one and Tours are available on Sundays.

Interestingly, one of the fellows stopped by to tell me that his daughter had played a part in The Wizard of Oz on Broadway. We chatted for awhile and then he went on with his work. I picked up with Dorothy meeting Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Lion. I thought to myself, Brains, Heart and Courage. Consider a focus on those attributes to motivate you.




When we got hit twice within the last two weeks with a few inches of snow here in the Tennessee Valley there was a lot of dancing going on - unfortunately it was more like the electric slide mixed with line dancing when trying to stay out of harms way on Interstate 75. There was a 20 traffic pile up and a smaller 12 traffic pile in my area and hundreds of accidents on the slick mountain roads. You had to do a quick two-step to stay ahead of the mess. click here don't get extra points for a triple Axel unless it involves more than two vehicles.

The car wheels spun as I tried to get out of the snow. I kept thinking the storm would pass. I got back out of the car and started down the road, thinking I would see someone who could help me out. The wind roared through the trees and I thought of A Three Day Blow, then the road of pines the girl and the man walked down in Up In Michigan. I trudged on thinking of the lone camper in Big Two Hearted River and how he saw no one for days and the utter loneliness of the landscape. There were no houses anymore, just snow and the forest and I turned back and returned to the car.

The back nine is a much better challenge than the front. It starts with yet another great par five, and like the two long holes on the front, is virtually unreachable in two. Every step of the way, accuracy is required on this hole, first with a fairway metal or long iron through a window that stays short of a creek, then another long shot that avoids a watery grave that lines the entire right side of the fairway. We played this one like we knew what we were doing, with Hansard rolling a ten-footer for birdie while I wasn't disappointed with a par.

So if I don't use my team of spirit guides and angels to predict the future, what do I use them for? I use them to provide me guidance about the path I take. I take their words like I would take advice from a dear friend. I take their words into consideration; however, I still trust my gut as to what extent I will take their advice. I use them to keep me safe as I drive or travel. I use them to request healing. I use them to help me bring through stories about conflict resolution and bullying and other topics. My team of spirit guides and angels have helped me in numerous ways that have truly enhanced and blessed my life.

An hour later we saw signs for the Goldfield cemetery. Then a deathly dark and silent town. One lone patrol car stuck its head out of an alley and then turned the other way. We rounded the 20 mph 90 degree turn at 5 mph and headed out of Goldfield. Then we saw the multi-colored emergency lights ahead.
