charles mansion/slip there/probably more accurate than one really knows

The Charles Manson murders took place in Bel Air after Sharon Tate had done a spread overseas for a magazine that I think was titled 12+1. She grew up in a military family before moving into television. She had connections with Dean Martin and Paul Newman and did a part in the Beverly Hillbillies. Paul Newman,who recently died from cancer, was featured,a tribute, on Larry King last night. Larry King's trade mark is his suspenders. Bea/Kate flips Uncle Joe's suspenders as she comes out the door in the beginning of Petticoat Junction. Charles Mansion was born in Cincinnati,Ohio where my son's plane was detoured on the way to New Orleans when he was sent there for a meeting through his school. His name is the same as that of an extremely famous astronaut. There is a Bel Air street behind a local church where a Hawkinses, a RR family, were charter members; and there is a Sharon's BBQ near the old Meade (Weyerhauser) factory in town. Broad Street BBQ opened at the end of the WinnDixie parking lot where a Spa World recently opened. One of my pharmacy partners made it a point to tell me that he gave his wife a gift certificate to a day spa for a pedicure after she,his wife, counselled me on 2 inhalers at the mail area and then quit. They also wanted the entire department to go to Dixie BBQ on North Roan next to the trailer sales for BBQ before I left. Then they appeared at Lone Star one evening shortly after I arrived. The guy from the front and his wife from the back. The next time my daughter and I ate there she was reminded not to smoke and I was given 2 creams from the Golden Corral which had recently had issues with carbon monoxide poisoning. My thoughts exactly---The Dumb Butt section quickly turned into the prissy Smart Ass section. One cannot even go eat in this area without the "Clan" showing up "in my face." The owner of the pharmacy where they work lives on Forrest. (Nathan Bedford Forrest started the KKK.) My youngest daughter with s/sx fragile X was introduced to her friend Marcus in a trailer at the back entrance to the state park; he has since let his hair grow and has a Charles Manson look about him on some days; other days it resembles Bob Seger (Against the Wind). The friend who took her there tried to get her to jump off of the cliff in the park area into the lake. There was a guy who recently died doing that. The house behind her friend's house burned down the same day a state senator committed suicide for exposing himself twice to underage children. Marcus's last name reminds me of an OBGYN procedure, and he has a buffalo tatoo on his chest over a large heart one. Someone called from Gray yesterday wanting me to come to their church; the name of the church had something to do with a Buffalo. Marcus stays in our garage and a pharmacist whose last name is Rowe in the Gray area had a party for drug reps when my children were small; it was in his garage. A guy I know Steve Davidson has a new CD called the Boozy Creek String Band; the web site was done by www.portalgarden.com. There is a row boat coming from the right with the occupants in attack mode. Looks like I have landed at Port Al. (There was another DPh from Mississippi who arrived at HCA with the same name as Bob's friend from HS who goes to the Methodist Church. She immediately put her children into preschool there and bought a house in Hidden Valley behind the big white house in the big snake curve with a huge drop off next to it.)
The first day one of my children started to daycare, there was an Alice (husband Eastman) in the room whose daughter was Laura. The church pastor, son Forrest from my HS class, was standing there. He retired shortly and the new pastor split the church. Another night as I was leaving to go to Lone Star, a call came over the caller ID "Brian ..last name had something to do with Al". A lady wanted Alice but it was the wrong number. When I arrived at Lone Star, my daughter was sitting in the Alamo eating. The front page news was gas issues and RVs at the race track during race weekend. My son had a friend Brian whose dad worked at the local community college until he had a stroke very early in life and cannot talk. His father-in-law preached at the small church at the end of Robertson Street where my Uncle Henry lives and uses this same pharmacy whose owner lives on Forrest. His wife Emma worked at the day care that I used. Once again, it is a small world; it isn't that small. There are people in this town with a severe OCD problem that involves money,power, and control. On Wilcox Drive, there is a Top Shelf business, Moore's, and someone named Penny (connected to Eastman). It's the will, the Coxes, the money, and the power. They are OCD; all they can think about is more,more,more. I do try to keep in mind though that these are the same people who are all for the rights of the unborn. Quite OCD over that also. They just don't seem to have a problem with stalking or getting into the faces over others who don't have the same beliefs as them. It reminds me of the Jena White Tree segments on CNN one of which featured a Billy Fowler handing out food. A bad situation followed after a group of blacks sat under the "white tree" on school property. The tree should not have been there to begin with. It was and the officials ignored the situation, did absolutely nothing about it, and obviously are going to suffer no consequences or have to take any responsibility for the problems that followed and the people that were hurt.
The church in front of Bel Air has a member who was a friend of my exhusband growing up. They lived one semester in an apartment with the same name as a street near my Aunt Bea on Warpath (right down from Spa World and the BBQ place), and the friend married the daughter of a long time pediatrician who was partners with a pediatrician whose office is now on Clinchfield behind the hospital and another whose office is now off of Wilcox and who has an FNP named Cook. There was a Steve Cook killed in the area when a coal train backed into him that I am almost certain was related to this employee. (obituary matched). My exhusband's sister,related to the Hawkins family, married George,moved to the Washington area, and had 2 pom dogs. A black one named Dixie and a gold one named Honey Boy. Bill Frist was on CNN regarding border issues when Anderson Cooper did a special on the longest tunnel coming from Mexico into a warehouse in the US. It even had lights it was used so frequently. Walmart has been on the news several times in the last few years over their use of illegal aliens.
I read that Neil Armstrong met and later married his second wife when she was chopping down a tree. My first thought is who planted the tree and who had been fertilizing it? My cousin who moved here when her husband left the navy bought a house on Old Stage Coach Road; a branch of the Hawkins family lives near a Stage Coach Road in Washington County. We don't need people around here circling the wagons making things appear differently than they are now do we? There was a family who lived a house near us from Ohio, the Weyerhauser office, with kids Courtney,Jenna, and Matt. They stayed briefly in town and moved back to Ohio. A tree behind their house fell recently and smashed the fence in front of the neighboring property during a big wind. That was a monstrous tree that would have required a much bigger wind than anything we have seen in this town in years to bring it down. What did Manson write on the walls? Helter Skelter. We had the haze maze in the neighborhood that I grew up in. Seems like a much bigger version of essentially the same thing. (Sir Echo, Big Echo, and Little Echo---streets near the old Eagles Club in our neighborhood.)
I searched YouTube last night and found clips of Minnie Pearl; she is related to the Smoot family I was told, an attorney on Broad Street who was partners with another Hawkins. There was a Smoot on Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. (Hawkins and Pierce are names associated with Laura Bush; there was a Laura Bush on my daughter's HS dance team. Her father was G.Bush, a physician). There were 2 clips of her in the same red dress and yellow hat with a huge white petticoat underneath. One was on the Dean Martin show and the other was singing with Liberace playing the piano, 1969. When I went to Pals earlier today there was an old antique car in front of me that was yellow, and a blue hearst went past me right at Sonic where there cat was dead in the road that looked exactly like mine right before Disco Duck started in the Walmart parking lot. The Prime Minister of England also had a cat on the AP news that looked exactly the same; it lived at 9 Downing Street. I ran into the MD wife of an OBGYN who lives in Hemlock Park, a peninsula that looks like Florida walking behind me at Walmart. Her daughter was further in the back waiting for her return. Their house sits where the Kennedy Space Center would be. My exhusband's house sits where Disney would be in Florida. I asked her how he came to be living there since he told me he was trying to buy a house in another city. She said that it was a private sale; my exhusband and her husband have the same first names. There is a Hemlock Road in the neighboring city where he was originally looking for a house that is next to the Lone Star restaurant that closed down. A pharmacist with the same name as me works on the road into NC out of Greeneville, President Andrew Johnson's birthplace. She likes to sew. A sewing shop and the Electric Cowboy opened up in the Lone Star complex. What was the reason for the LA slaughterhouse shut down? Bad slaughterhouse conditions; using electricity to get the cows to slaughter even if they were too sick to go. Some of the beef was found in the Greeneville school system.
Another name associated with Laura Bush is Pierce. A local church has several members who moved into Copperfield; one has a son named David. Rather reminds me of a Vegas magic show. David Copperfield. "Old Copper" is a police related term. The Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church have several members connected by marriage. One of the Pierce family members passed away about the time the organization that his wife worked for acquired Pal Barger's old Skoby's restaurant, the big white restaurant near Eastman (George). It closed for a second and final time not too long after that. I recall being taken there twice to eat frog legs as a child during the big Kingsport strike. I still cannot figure what I would have been doing there. Hindsight is 20/20. There is a local politician whose wife, the daughter of a physician named Chance, grew up in Hemlock Park and later lived there. They have a daughter Maggie and go to church at the Presbyterian church with the county attorney who grew up in the Methodist church. Maybe it was my last meal before I was sacrificed over the cliff on Ghost Mountain in Maggie Valley to "the gods." One of the Charles Manson victims had acted in Valley of the Dolls.
