Medium Update, Week 17 of 2022

My week #23 on Medium

Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash

Yes, this is our Saturday update occurring on Sunday, the second week of our weekly tradition, because of a previously planned trip to Athens, Tn.

We ride-shared the journey, which, in addition to being great fun, took us past the scenic Clinch River breeder reactor, a place for a fun picnic that will make you absolutely tingle with excitement.

This view is about as close as they let the public get for safety reasons, but I know a back way right on up to the slag pits where the best and least crowded dining tables are.

Our day’s route took us through Crossville rather than Chattanooga, but I believe it is usually quicker when we do not have an emergency need for a sumptuous dining experience in Monterey, Tn. (Not the one with the Who, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, but the other one with the Burger King.)

At any rate, in the studio, we were still able this past week to crank out eleven high-quality stories designed to educate you and sometimes give you a chuckle. They are as follows:

We all agree that it's important for a well-rounded reader to keep up with these articles, even if you are not yet subscribed to the delivery service that gives you every one crammed into an electronic Uber and sent to your inbox while it's still steaming hot off the presses.

So if you feel intimidated by the envelope icon, just check these updates every week. Either way.

Our cute dogs and puppies department has still not offended anyone yet, as promised, and is growing quickly as a viable alternative to real news or these updates.

And one last note…

Since we had to take off work Saturday, we have fallen terribly behind on our stats page, so if you feel so led, I would like to encourage you to do one or more of these three items.

  1. Feel free to read any or all the stories twice.
  2. Feel free to tell a friend about us.
  3. Feel free to subscribe to the inbox delivery.

Also, if you are sending hate mail, please single out just one of my multiple personalities at a time. This is not the place for confusion.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. If you liked this story, you could go HERE, leave your name, and I’d be happy to send you ALL my Medium stories whenever I publish them. .
