Deliverance Helped Make James Dickey, BA'49, MA'50, a Household Name. Forty Years Later It Casts a Long Shadow over Southern Appalachia.
By Bronwen Dickey
Thick strokes of early evening crimson smeared across the rolling mountains of Rabun County as I drove up Highway 23 from Atlanta toward Clayton. The whole world looked like it was burning up right behind the horizon line. It was the 9-degree, molar-rattling middle of January in North Georgia, and I was on my way to visit the Chattooga River, 57 miles of fierce backcountry water and etched stone where the film of my father's first novel, Deliverance, was shot in the summer of 1971.
When I read some months earlier that a lawsuit brought by a boating organization called American Whitewater had prompted the U.S. Forest Service to consider opening the river's headwaters to boaters, an unexpected sadness came over me. The Chattooga River is generally recognized to be the wildest, most unforgiving in Southern Appalachia; its headwaters flow through some of the toughest terrain in the region. It's a 21-mile stretch of swirling water where the battalions of rafters, kayakers and canoeists who float the rest of the river every year can't go, or at least not legally. According to American Whitewater, it's the only piece of river in the entire National Forest System, in fact, where boaters aren't allowed.
The outside world has been pressing in for more than a century—the devastating logging period after the Civil War, the TVA dams following the Great Depression, the ever-increasing numbers of vacation homes going up—but it started pressing a lot harder when Deliverance hit theaters in 1972, and with that fact comes, for me, a twinge of guilt.
I wasn't born until 10 years after Deliverance was filmed. What I knew of the river—and by extension, what I knew of Southern Appalachia—I knew only from the film and from memories of my father: the stories he told me and the bluegrass ballads he picked out on his guitar every morning before he worked on his writing. Both of my parents' families had at one point come down from the hills, from North Georgia on my father's side and East Tennessee on my mother's.
Ever since I was old enough to watch Deliverance, the river—called the Cahulawassee in the story—thundered through my imagination and, perhaps more important, pooled in a certain corner of my heart. It was where my father's work came alive for millions of people and lodged itself permanently in the American brain, for better and for worse. Every time I watch the film and see the Aintry sheriff, played by my father at a healthy 48 years old, standing on the banks of the river, I want to reach right through the screen. And when I hear some version of the old spiritual "Shall We Gather at the River," I remember him playing it on his 12-string, and I imagine the river in the song is the Chattooga.
I wanted to see the river while it remained, as it was called in the movie, "the last wild … river in the South." I wanted the place that lived for me only in film and photographs and secondhand stories to live for me in a real way, in the winter, after the tourists had gone.
The river begins near Cashiers, N.C., then stretches along to form a good bit of the Georgia–South Carolina border before it turns back into Georgia, joins with the Tallulah River, and surrenders to Lake Tugaloo about seven miles south of Clayton. Its boiling rapids say as much about the people who named them as they do about the treacherous topography of the river itself: Warwoman, Bull Sluice, Sock 'Em Dog, Rock Jumble, Raven Chute, Jawbone, Dead Man's Pool.
"It is," as Buzz Williams, one of the principal founders of the Chattooga Conservancy, kept reminding me when he took me up into the headwaters, "a killer river." He meant that 39 people have drowned in it since the Forest Service started keeping records on river fatalities in the '70s. Several rapids are considered "certain death" if you are unlucky enough to fall into them.
Before Deliverance was released, only a few hundred people traveled down the river every year; after, that number jumped into the thousands and then the tens of thousands, and when a drowning occurred, it was attributed to "Deliverance fever." Despite the river's dangers—or maybe because of them—the lower Chattooga quickly became one of the most popular whitewater destinations in the country; in the past two decades, more than a million people have floated it. The fever may be gone, but there's no question that the mystique of the Deliverance river endures.
Many of the locals were none too pleased with the flood of outsiders who arrived during the making of the film and for years after its release, especially when they began to see that the rest of America viewed them as violent, inbred rednecks. The sadistic mountain men in Deliverance were, of course, fictional, as were the town of Aintry and the Cahulawassee River, but the residents of Rabun County were left to contend with the peculiar legacy of the film long after the cameras stopped rolling. The theme from the movie, "Dueling Banjos," is used in commercials to sell everything from dish detergent to SUVs. PADDLE FASTER—I HEAR BANJO MUSIC is printed on T-shirts and bumper stickers all over the South.
Most of the paddlers who flocked to the river were from elsewhere, and they soon became the lightning rod for local resentment. People told me stories of boaters who left their cars in parking areas near river put-ins and came back to smashed windows and slashed tires. Even as late as the mid-'80s, they said, arson was a problem. So was theft. Backwoods roughnecks trying to scare off paddlers sometimes fired warning shots from the bank, strung barbed wire across the river to slash up rafts, or even hauled boats right out of the water.
Buzz drove me up to where the headwaters ended and the rest of the river began. I was in the South, certainly, but it was not the suburban South I grew up in or even a South I recognized. It was a place where people accepted the dictates of the land they were living on and understood its character, a place free—at least for now—of the gated communities and department stores, happy hours and hustle that make so many cities interchangeable.
On the way back to Clayton, we passed an old sign, so faded that I struggled to read it: AMUSEMENTS, PICNICS, COLD BEER, USED CARS. Buzz told me it was the sign for Burrell's Place, a small bar where everyone used to sit out on the front porch and drink beer while a guy named Junior Crowe played the banjo. Before it closed years ago, all kinds of people gathered at Burrell's: rich kids from Highlands, hippie river guides, old-timers and farmers from the mountains. It was the sort of place that doesn't exist in Chattooga country anymore.
Driving through the backcountry reminded me of the first scene in the novel Deliverance, where the four main characters, Atlanta suburbanites, are sitting in a bar planning a canoe trip in the mountains. Lewis, the hard-edged survivalist of the group who lacks the pure instinct for actual survival, points to the Cahulawassee on his map, set to be dammed up and turned into a lake for hydroelectric power (as so many rivers were back then), and explains to the others, "Right now it's wild. And I mean wild. It looks like something up in Alaska. We really ought to go up there before the real estate people get hold of it and make it over into one of their heavens." Famously, this is a trip that throws the men into a horrifying struggle for their lives: One is raped, another shatters his leg, another is killed on the river.
My father didn't talk much about wilderness; it was "wildness" he was interested in. Wilderness, to him, was just an idea, a romantic falsification of nature rather than the untamed, untamable thing itself. Wildness was a place where man risked everything; it wasn't a theme park or a toy you played around with or a place you ventured into for thrills. It could kill you. The characters in Deliverance were prepared only for wilderness, and they found wildness. Wildness bites back.
"I think a river is the most beautiful thing in nature," my father wrote in one of his journals, right before the novel was published in 1970. "Any river is more beautiful than anything else I know." He was drawn to writers who felt similarly inspired by water, like Melville and Conrad. Heraclitus' philosophy of universal flux and his famous dictum, "you cannot step into the same river twice," particularly moved him. But few things terrified my father as much as man's ever-growing intrusion into the natural world. "We're never going to be able to get out of the 'man world,'" he said in a documentary back in the '70s, "if we don't have any place to go to from the man world. That's why we need these rivers and streams and creeks and woods and mountains. You need to be in contact with nature, as it was made by something else than men." As much as Deliverance is a story of survival or, as so many define it, a story of "man against nature," it is a story about the commercial destruction of a rugged, primordial landscape and a part of the South that was slipping away, even back then.
Right across the river from Clayton, the Long Creek Bar is a plain, white box of a building that looks like it might have been converted from something else, like a warehouse for three-wheelers. On the night I stopped in with Buzz to grab a beer, leftover Christmas garland sagged off tables in the back, waves of cigarette smoke stung my eyes, and two guys in trucker caps shot pool while AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill" played feebly on the jukebox.
Buzz ordered a Budweiser and sat down at the bar next to a 60-something-year-old man with a bushy beard and camo cap whom he knew from the old days at Burrell's Place. The man had clearly had a few, and when the subject turned to the fight over the upper Chattooga, he took a long drag from his Winston and became agitated, like he couldn't stand to hear another word about it. "All I wanna know is," he said, "if they open up that upper river, who's gonna pay to get the bodies out?"
Buzz asked him what some of the old-timers from Burrell's might have thought about all the controversy, and the guy shook his head and rested his hands on his pack of cigarettes. "I don't know about that, but I do know that the worst thing that ever happened to this area was that …"—I knew what was coming—"that Deliverance."
I was silently grateful that he didn't know who I was. Half of me wanted to apologize to him for something, and half of me didn't feel there was anything to apologize for. That was a feeling I walked around with my entire time in Chattooga country: a shadow of guilt about the lasting legacy of Deliverance doing battle with the pride of my father's work.
On my last day in North Georgia, I drove over to Mountain Rest, S.C., to meet up with Butch Clay, who wrote a guidebook about the river and possesses an intimate knowledge of the headwaters area. He and I drove to a small parking area near the Chattooga River Trailhead, packed up two sets of hip waders and some lunch, and started our hike to the gorge, some of the most intractable wilderness on the entire river.
The gorge looked like a hulking rock coliseum, with the pine-covered mountains forming a steep V on either side that the noonday sun blanketed with light. The wind galloped through with as much purpose as the river did, chilling my skin under all the layers of sweat-soaked clothes. Once we picked our way down the river, we saw that there were thin sheets of ice all over it, looking like someone had encased the scene in glass. "Rime ice," Butch said, as he broke off some of it with his boot. Every so often a huge sheet of ice would break off a ledge somewhere in the gorge and crash into the water, and I would wheel around, thinking it was a bear or a wild hog.
Eventually, we climbed onto an imposing boulder and talked while we ate lunch about the people who wanted to bring boats to the upper river. The tide of tourism seemed inevitable: The three major cities nearby—Atlanta, Asheville, Chattanooga—are growing all the time, as are the popularity of whitewater sports and the technology with which those sports can be enjoyed.
The last time my father saw the river was in 1988, when he visited it on a snowy winter weekend to participate in a short film about his career. Buzz Williams showed him around, and some months later, after the documentary aired in Columbia, S.C., Buzz told me that my father shook his hand at the screening and said, "Say goodbye to the river for me." In a dark twist on that line from Heraclitus, he knew that he could never step into the same river twice, and the Chattooga that existed as a site for Deliverance tourism wasn't the same river he stepped into back in 1971.
Sitting in the Rock Gorge, I looked around at the ice-sheathed cliffs and fallen trees spanning the water and wanted everything I could see to stay right like it was, as my father had once seen it. In my heart, if not my head, I wanted the glittering, jade eyes of the last cougar in the South to study me from under a ledge. I wanted to feel that cold fear that sluices through your veins when you realize you're truly alone out in the wild—or that you aren't. Emerging from the woods at dark-thirty (the Appalachian term for half past sunset), looking rougher, as my dad used to say, than a night in jail, I wanted to drive back down out of the mountains knowing that the people who had been living there for generations weren't in any danger of being forced out, because I didn't want to walk around in 50 years and see flattened patches of grass where the farmers and moonshiners and hell-raisers used to live. And, before I arrived home, I wanted to stop at Burrell's Place and drink a beer out on the porch while Junior Crowe played songs that sounded familiar to me. "Shall We Gather at the River," maybe. That's one I know.

Mr Speaker
Honourable Ministers
Honourable Members
When Cross Border Municipalities were abolished, the area known as Moutse was transferred to the Limpopo Province.
The people of Moutse, or at least some of them, took to the streets to register their unhappiness and to protest against that decision. Property was damaged and schooling was disrupted.
On 27th and 28th September 2009, a referendum was held to test the views of the community on whether they wanted to belong to Limpopo or Mpumalanga.
They went in their numbers to all IEC Voting Stations in the Elias Motsoaledi and Ephraim Mogale Municipalities. The process was observed by the Demarcation Board and Political Party Agents. We are informed that there was a high Voter turnout, and the whole exercise went on smoothly and peacefully.
Fourteen months after that exercise, the Department of Corporate Governance and Traditional Affairs, which organized the poll, has not released the results. Our own agents inform us that 75 % of those who voted chose to go to Mpumalanga.
While we applaud the Department for seeking the views of the People, we are disappointed that the results have been withheld.
South Africa is a Democratic State, and we are informed that we have a Government based on the WILL OF THE PEOPLE, a Government of the People, by the People, for the People.
The saying "Vaux Populi, Vaux Dei", or "the voice of the People is the voice of God", should ring true, even in the case of Moutse.
The People have spoken. The Nation must be told what the People of Moutse have said, and what Government is going to do about it.
Thank you.

MURKY featuring ANUKA, "Heavy Hearted" (free DL)
After a brief tease of a start, "Heavy Hearted" by producer Murky featuring vocalist Anuka has liftoff big time thanks to the singer's spot-on high register delivery. And as the song continues, you may find yourself singing along… to another song. For if you didn't catch it, the initial melody instantly recalls the 90's dance floor classic "Free" by Ultra Naté. Regardless, it just lends to the charm of the song as by the halfway point it will have already secured your interest with its beautiful flow and understated, complementary backdrop. The song tends to end prematurely but that only makes you want to hear it more. Courtesy of Manifesto, check out "Heavy Hearted" at the link above and download it for free.

Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Charles Brown, celebrated Mass in Corpus Christi Church, Moyross, yesterday with Bishop Brendan Leahy and Bishop Donal Murray in honour of a new sculpture and painting dedicated to Our Lady Un-doer of Knots.
Limerick artist, Des Langford, painted the image of Our Lady on to an old piece of Irish Chestnut wood. The iron work that accompanies it was sculpted by local blacksmith, Eric O'Neill.
Speaking yesterday, Archbishop Brown talked about the great affection that Pope Francis has for Ireland, where he spent time studying English in the 1970s. 'I know he has a great love for the Irish people and a special appreciation for the Irish people's love for the mother of God, Mary, which is very, very close to his heart.'
He also expressed his hope that a visit to Ireland by Pope Francis would one day take place. 'It would be the biggest joy I would ever have as Apostolic Nuncio in Ireland to have the Pope visit Ireland. With God all things are possible, so we just have to see.'
Devotion to Our Lady Un-doer of Knots, who is said to help solve complicated problems, has grown in popularity since the beginning of Pope Francis's papacy. His own devotion goes back to when he was a student in Germany in the 1980s, when he viewed the famous painting by Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner which hangs in the church of St Peter am Barlach in Bavaria. He brought a postcard of the painting back to Argentina and later had the image engraved on a chalice that was presented to Pope Benedict XVI.
This is the first Irish shrine to honour Our Lady Un-doer of Knots and framed copies of the image can be ordered from the parish office.

I suspect a good number of Debian users are developers like myself. A multiarch system is IMHO fairly useless if you can only use it to develop software for the 'primary' subarch. This is especially true eg. on mips where preferred subarch depends on the application (n32 for speed vs. n64 for address space). Also, providing a multiarch gcc/libc is only of limited use if all the other -dev packages only support a single arch. Reinstalling the -dev package to compile for a different subarch really isn't practical. Paul

Eleven-year-old Madison Faith Wright, from Stockbridge near Sheffield is a miracle.
Born with severe complications, the doctors did not expect little Madison to survive. Her first surgery took place when she was just two days old. The Wright family belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).
Now Madison is cast in the role of Ellie Ashton in the upcoming Mormon British Pageant. Says Madison: "The reason I want to be in the British Pageant is I think it would be a good way to show other people how I feel about the Church. During the auditions, I got this warm feeling – like this is where I want to be." Her mother, Rachel Wright, adds, "Her middle name, Faith, is no coincidence. It is through the faith and prayers of so many people that love Madison that she is here with us today."
Rachel continues: "As surgery was about to begin, the doctor came to us and said that even if she lived through the surgery, life would change for all of us. The doctor told us she would live most of her life in a hospital, and maybe we should consider not doing the surgery." She adds, "The decision was not difficult for us. We knew we had to give her every fighting chance to live. Our faith made it possible for us to believe that God was in charge and whatever happened after the surgery, we would accept."
At seven months old, Madison's liver failed. She was put on the transplant list for a new bowel and a new liver with little hope of receiving them. A miracle happened at 13 months old when she received both. She did well after the transplant until her body rejected the bowel at four years old. The family feels that through the faith and prayers of many, Madison was healed once again. At eleven years old, Madison is a normal, happy 'miracle girl' who lives each day to the fullest despite a handful of pills she takes daily. She discovered a love of entertaining people when she spent so much time in hospital. "She would always want to sing a song or do something fun when visitors came, and it has carried her now to her love of drama" says Rachel. "It is wonderful to see her so happy."
The British Pageant is a theatrical musical performance depicting the early Mormon missionaries' arrival in the UK to preach a message of hope. It will take place on the grounds of the Preston Temple in Chorley, Lancashire, 1-5 and 8-12 August. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The title of filmmaker Werner Herzog's book A Guide For the Perplexed could also be the title of my autobiography, except I'm not brilliant and often quoted by the literati. I do, however, reside in the state of Confusion (CI because CO was taken by the state of Colorado) where all of the citizens feel perplexed all of the time. E.B. White called it "chronic perplexity". I love it here. We have both mountains of discombobulation and oceans of befuddlement. The view's always spectacular although often foggy. And when you come out of a store, into the parking lot and you can't find your car, no one else can either. Everyone's holding out their key fobs, pointing them in random directions and clicking. We're all smiling at each other's forgetfulness. We're not mad, only a little bit frustrated but we'll get over it.
During life's dynamic journey, you'll be holding hands with a big, frightening giant called The Unknown. Make him your best friend. It's all about failure and resilience. As you're creating and experimenting, anxiety is your fiercest enemy, your most formidable barrier, your highest wall to climb over, the treacherous rapids, the deepest, darkest, coldest part of the ocean. Don't let your worries win because then you've lost. Fall in love with fear.
Herzog calls his life and career "a never-ending educational experience, a way of discovering in which direction you need to take your own work and ideas". Vygotsky called it "the zone of proximal development". If your true state of mind is befuddlement, confusion and flabbergasted-ness, and you're excited to be there, in that state, then you've achieved the status of STUDENT. (I like all caps almost as much as e. e. cummings liked all lower case.) (I also like parentheses.) The learner, the studier, the STUDENT is a seeker who pursues not only knowledge but also truth. They are definitely related, if not the same. This seeker, this student-person, constantly strives to become a better thinker, an improved citizen of our planet.
If you're not confused, then you're not learning anything new. You're stagnating, merely showing off what you already know. Being the smartest person in the room is not only boring; it's impossible. Each human in that room possesses insights you've never thought of before. Your job is to find those insights. Root them out. Ask questions. Listen to the answers. Don't respond with a statement or a judgment. Respond with another question; a related question, one that proves you've been listening. Vygotsky believed that true learning was "socially co-constructed between people as they interact". Listen to the person next to you, observe, remember what you see and hear, process it and make it your own.
Although it's not a substitute for real-time real-life experience and face-to-face interaction, the internet is here to stay. Celebrate it and use it. Don't let it use you. Google has taught us that we don't know everything (And wouldn't life be boring if we did? It wouldn't be life at all; it would be death.), but all knowledge, all secrets, all esoteric facts and theories are accessible to us with the click of a mouse. Exciting but also frightening. If you're not scared, you're not living. You're not learning anything. Your journey isn't even a journey at all; it's a nice comfortable rest someplace boring. Get up and get going. Free fall into a state of confusion. Climb your way out. And then dive into a mystified state of befogged-ness. You won't be too scared if you've fallen in love with fear.

When real estate prices made a vertiginous ascent in the 1980s Japan the bullish refrain was that there wasn't enough land. However, Japanese real estate prices, and even those of crowded Tokyo, have glided downwards over the subsequent two decades, accompanied by rents – interrupted by the Karate-Kid-esque 'recovery-on; recovery-off' hope that we have also started to witness in the US. Very low economic growth and a demographic headwind, despite reasonably high employment, have led to a depressed real estate market. Is this a harbinger for the West? And what defines recovery – price, volume, net equity?
Via Goldman Sachs
The value chain for housing, as for so many industries, is broader than you might think (see the chart below), ranging from architects and mortgage providers before a house is built to utilities and insurance once it is completed. But even though the constituents of the chain all share something there are big differences in exposure. For example, some of these business benefit more from a rise in house prices (real estate agents) rather than housing volumes (cement). Similarly, some of them are exposed to basic, mass urban housing (elevators, cranes, lavatories) rather than the more expensive single family properties (landscaping). Some of them enjoy high barriers to entry (commodities), while other sectors are quite fragmented (furnishing).
And while some have to remain local by nature (developers), others find it easier to seek growth in foreign markets (chemicals). Looking at the value chain this way helps us to identify the few pockets of growth in the developing markets, and to broaden the universe we look at to include opportunities in the emerging markets, where the drivers are marginally different.

A touching joint memoir by a birth mother and her adopted daughter about their lives apart and the close bond they shared until Crumpacker's recent death.
Copywriter Picariello writes about how she succeeded in tracking down her birth mother in 1996 after a two-year search. As early as she can remember, she knew she had been "chosen" by her adoptive parents, and she was told how her birth parents had married during the Korean War after knowing each other for only one month and separated shortly thereafter. Her birth mother couldn't manage alone and did what seemed best for the baby by finding her loving adoptive parents. Raised by a controlling mother, she was socially maladjusted—as a child she was a bookish loner, and as a teenager she experimented with drugs and sexual liberation. Married at 19 to a lawyer 10 years her senior, her life became more stable, although initially she felt overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. Crumpacker (How to Slice an Onion: Cooking Basics and Beyond, 2009) describes her family background, in many ways similar to that of her daughter. Both of their mothers displaced their own insecurities onto their daughters. Crumpacker writes that her mother found her "different—and difficult. She felt it was her responsibility to mold me." Her failed marriage, also at the age of 19, was an attempt to establish her independence from her mother. The circumstances of her marriage were more complicated than the story that Picariello was told, but essentially similar. She, too, had attempted to find her daughter—unsuccessfully. When they finally met, they found a startling affinity and were drawn to each other immediately.
An absorbing story about adoption and much more.

That means nothing has been done on the machine and I'm still waiting for life to return to me.

Since you're putting me through Poor Man's Pinball update withdrawal symptoms, I've got a couple of questions for you about your Lightboard design. Please remember I know nothing about electronics or circuit board design, I'm just bouncing some ideas.ReplyDelete
- How come you aren't using all your matrix outputs? It looks like you could fit the full 12x8 matrix on that board. Even if you won't use the extra outputs you will have a few spare columns for troubleshooting or after blowing something up :)
- Do you really need so many diodes? I kind of understand the diodes on the outputs but are the separate diodes for the Shift Registers really required? Would one diode on your ground point to prevent reverse polarity suffice?
- Have you considered using an LED Driver with the Shift Register built-in? It might save you some soldering depending on your current requirements.
Sorry, I'm well and all, but haven't had time to do anything on the machine. Got my second child a few weeks ago! So it busy busy. :DReplyDelete
On top of that, my band is releasing a new album within a week.
But hopefully I'll be able to do some work on the pinball machine, at least replace the soundboard and quite possibly solder the lightboard. :)
For the questions:
1) I'm not using all matrix outputs simply because I won't need them. At most I used 96 "channels", but after various problems in the past and redesigns, many of them has been consolidated to a single channel. This means I have already a lot of extra channels in case something breaks, but if needed the board will be relatively easy to repair so I'm not overdoing things at the moment. The LED-modules were also bigger than I expected so they're already sticking out from the board… :)
2) I don't actually know… But I figure since current is running like water basically, it should at least try the different paths in it's way. Putting a diode would prevent the other components from having to block the current. This is especially important (I think) since the current will be quite high, much higher than a standard LED-lamp at 5mA etc.
3) The LED-drivers I've seen has not been able to provide enough current. I'm using real pinball bulbs rather than LED's, so the current is pretty large and I need to supply a hefty amount of it across the playfield. The old design worked well, until something didn't… And I'm guessing either a short circuit somewhere or lack of surge/spike protection that fried components.
Hopefully (my favourite word) the new lightboard, and soundboard, will be a lot more stable than the old! :)
Glad to know that you have fully recovered and is back to work again. Getting sick can be very frustrating. I'll look forward to your updates on your pinball machine projects,ReplyDelete

Sometimes it is hard to see progress
you go along and do but until you stop and
take count, it is easy to think nothing is getting done
For example: I stopped to think what did I do in Sept and Oct?
I made a ton of jelly and jam.............
made a baby bib (actually two and gave one away already)
made a dishcloth
made a table topper for sis in law
finished up a bag that would make a nice diaper bag
or tote
got the binding on this potholder
made this hat for baby
and couldnt stop at just one
and quilted a mug rug
I guess I DID accomplish something!
sometimes it pays to step back and see what you have accomplished
Now I have a newfound energy to continue on
Have you stopped to see what you have done?

Renter's Guide to Fontana
Just 50 miles east of Los Angeles, Fontana, California was primarily rural until after World War II when industrialist Henry Kaiser built a steel mill just outside the city limits. The city has grown considerably since then, and today it serves as an important regional truck hub. Given its location, a flight to Phoenix takes just over an hour, as does a flight to San Francisco. San Diego, 100 miles away, is a mere 2-hour drive. Weather in Fontana tends to be hot and dry due to the Santa Ana winds blowing through the nearby San Gabriel Mountains. Fontana temperatures in summer months average 90-95°F, while winter temperatures stay around 50°F. Despite a large population, the city was ranked as the 15th safest in America in 2013, according to Business Insider.

Living in Fontana, CA
Being a short drive from the entertainment capital of the world gives Fontana's residents the best of both worlds—lower cost of living in a mid-sized town and the attractions of a world-class city like Los Angeles. Interestingly, though, Fontana has an even more diverse population than its neighbor, with three quarters of the population being either Hispanic or African-American and over 6% claiming Asian heritage. Weather can be a bit uncomfortable in the summer but winter months can be quite pleasant. This is not a city to be without a car, though that profile fits most of southern California.
Things to do in Fontana
Aside from driving to Los Angeles for fun, there are many things to do in Fontana beginning in the city's extensive park system. There are over 40 parks in Fontana, as well as tot lots and sports facilities. One of these, Fontana Park, offers a wide range of amenities on its 38 acres, including a health and fitness center, aquatic center, skating and BMX park, sports pavilion, and dog park among other activities. If indoor activities are appealing, movie theaters in Fontana and the surrounding area are abundant, with the largest in the city being the Regency Theater Fontana 8. Of course, like any city its size, Fontana offers many great restaurants to choose from like Pancho Villa's Restaurant, billed as the home of the "World's Greatest Mariachi" and where one can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine alongside on-stage entertainment. With all the hotels in Fontana, one can make a night of it at Pancho's by staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Fontana only a few blocks away, and during the day take in NASCAR racing at the ever popular Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
Employment and Economy
Fontana's unemployment rate has dropped a full percentage since April of 2015—from 6.6% to 5.6% in May of 2016— and thus jobs in Fontana have become more available. The city of Fontana is also the original site of the Kaiser Permanente medical facility, built initially for the Kaiser steel workers' health needs and now the largest managed health care company in the country and one of Fontana's largest employers. Together with the Fontana Unified School District and the California Steel Industries, they employ over 10,000 people. Couple that with the fact that San Bernardino County has some of the largest employers in the state, together employing well over 100,000 residents, and you get the picture that this is indeed a healthy economy.

However, if you prefer engaging in art then The Art Depot not only offers a gallery but also classes for all ages, open studios, and special events. If you prefer engaging with nature, then in addition to the many city parks, the Mary Vagle Nature Center offers three miles of hiking trails, a one-acre pond and a variety of educational programs.

On Sunday, we went to see Wicked. It was fantastic! My favorite part was the costume design, followed closely by the staging, set design, and chemistry between the leads. Then the acting, and the dancing, and the flying monkeys. (I am not all that fond of the songs as such, although there are certainly some powerful emotions in context.)
We bought these tickets like six months ago, because it was pretty much sold out until now. I can see why!

Well crap, maybe Chris and I need to buy our tickets soon. It's hitting Austin in late August.

Fall Look #4: Sheer Top, Tribal Skirt, Thrifted Sweater
Hey ladies. I am back with another fall look. I love black, but I refuse to wear all black this Fall. I just need a splash of color, so I am wearing a very colorful outfit. I love this sweater, it is one of the best thrifted items I own. I paired it with this tribal skirt and kept it simple with some black tights, and brown booties. Hope you ladies enjoy this look as much as I did :)

Our stay in Danville, California (a wonderful small town just outside of San Francisco), was a trip highlight for me. I had so much to say about it that I broke it into Two blog posts.
See part 1 about the lovely town of Danville itself (you're missing out if you don't know about Danville yet!) and the beautiful property we stayed on there. See this second half for the best ever Chanson family photos in Napa and San Francisco, as well as details of a friend visit and a bonus "Breanna's life reflection" at the end.
Ever since we moved to California, I've wanted to see Napa. More for the beautiful scenery and unique experiences than for the wine even! It just felt like the Californian thing to do. Never in my visions though did I imagine taking an almost-two-year-old with me to these well bred wineries with their giant stacks of delicate wine glasses and dangerously high lookout spots. But there I found myself, googling "toddler in Napa".
We chose to do some of the more kitchy things in Napa in hopes they would entertain Celia more than just watching her parents drink wine, while yelling at her to not touch that $800 block of cheese.
So for our first stop, we chose a castle! We thought it would be lame and made out of foam painted to look like brick. But we found out it's actually a legit Tuscan-built castle that was moved over to California!
It was beautiful and Celia loved the grass (again with the grass… poor little city girl!), the flowers, the moat, and the farm animals out front! She also spent plenty of time exploring the special nooks and cranny's that only the magic of a castle can do justice.
When we approached for our wine tasting, someone stopped us to let us know they had a special room for people with kids, where we could taste in peace while our daughter colored and sampled grape juice to her heart's content!
Which worked out perfectly for all of us! Especially since the kids area looked like an awesome dragon dungeon!
We couldn't have been happier with our visit to Castello di Amorosa and highly recommend it to anyone crazy enough to bring a toddler to Napa.
Next we headed over to Sterling Vineyards where we rode the arial tram leading to the winery. Celia did NOT enjoy the tram at the start. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen these looks of fear on her face before!
But she soon relaxed and we enjoyed our view of the lovely lake, tree tops, and hundreds of sheep below us.
The chill vibe at Sterling and the progressive wine tasting stations with plenty of walking (or running if you're Celia) space, solidified that it was the great toddler in Napa place we'd heard it was.
Both the employees and the patrons alike seemed to actually enjoy having Celia there! As did I! She did her happy- toddler-bobblehead-run around in her tiny little sun dress and gold sandals, while carrying her water cup and cheers-ing us at our tasting stations.
She even made herself a new friend with the only other toddler in the building! Which resulted in us befriending her parents and gaining an offer for a place to park our RV when we stop in NYC!
It was late enough in the day that things were closing and we were ready to begrudgingly head home after just two stops on our entire "Napa experience". However, our new friends had said that the Francis Ford Coppola Winery was open late and worth the long drive to get there. This was another one I'd come across as highly recommended for toddlers, since it's complete with a swimming pool….
… teepee….
… open space tasting veranda….
…. and a movie memorabilia museum….
… and it did NOT disappoint!
Though our camera battery did, so we had to rely solely on iphone photos for this beautiful portion of our day!
It may have been the moment, the wonderful time of day, or the movie magic, but this was my favorite stop we made. The drive there was lovely, and the fact that we were there near closing time made it feel like we had the place to ourselves in some ways. Celia free roamed around the Godfather mock-up pavilion, as we soaked in the moment, thankful that we're able to bring our daughter to places we enjoy sometimes rather than being forced to live soley in playground land now that we have offspring.
Of course, it was the end of a long day so there were some of these moments too…
But overall, it was lovely. Our little trooper sucked it up and managed to charm waiters and diners alike as we had an enjoyable meal in the vineyard view restaurant.
It may be a cheesy to visit the kinds of places in Napa that cause people to say it's gotten way too commercialized, but since we were "those people" who brought our kid to wine tastings, it was perfect. No one shamed us about bringing our child along, and we could've spent several more days doing this in kid friendly spots like these! Plus it gave us an excuse to go the places we secretly wanted to go to anyways, since we actually are the lame tourists who want the Napa "experience", even more than the world class wine it has to offer.
San Francisco will always hold a special place in our hearts because it was our honeymoon spot, the location of our most spontaneous trip together, and was where Scottie took me for a surprise babymoon/ten year anniversary celebration trip. We love that city. But the only time we'd ever been there with Celia was when I was pregnant with her on the afore mentioned babymoon. So we didn't really know how to do San Francisco with a kid. We decided we'd just go with low expectations and wing it.
The only planning ahead we did was to find at least one spot that Celia would enjoy playing at. So we went to the Children's Creativity Museum, which turned out the be the highlight of our day in the city! It had some of the coolest kid activities I've ever seen!
I wished Celia was a little older so she could've enjoyed the animation lab where kids made their own animated videos using clay figures they built themselves! She did dabble in some of the big kid activities though like building topography maps with sand….
… and using the robot coding center where older kids created code telling robots to draw, complete a maze, or throw a ball. They had a person assigned especially to help younger kids like Celia, "build code" to play music on the robot! Seriously, where else but San Fransisco, would have a museum where toddlers learn to code?!
There was tons of stuff for kids Celia's age to do like paper crafts….
…dress up…
… put on puppet shows….
….enjoy the reading room….
… and construct things with Lincoln logs and other building supplies.
One of the coolest activities she did was color a car that was scanned in and projected onto the moving city filled with other items kids had colored.
But above all, our favorite feature there was the music video room. Where kids pick out costumes, a song, and a background before they put it all together in a karaoke style music video. So basically it's a room filled with mini Elsas belting out "Let it Go" like it's their life's purpose.
Celia picked out matching sequin gold and black costumes for us (it fit her a little differently than me!), and sang, not just her very favorite song in the whole world, but one of her very favorite things about life period… The Happy Birthday Song. She whispered through three verses before grabbing the mike, pushing me aside, and busting out her loudest "happy to" at the very last second.
After the museum we aimed for any part of the city that had a parking spot for our huge truck on this busy holiday weekend. Luckily, we found ourselves parked by the very hipster Ferry Building Market Place at Pier 1, so we had plenty to see and do there.
It was a fun day, but it just made me want more time there than we'd planned for. No matter how many days we had in San Francisco, I think I'd always want more.
People ask me all the time about what I'm most excited for on this trip. Hands down, my answer is the people we'll see along the way. Both the new and interesting people we love right away, like Mark and Diana (see Danville Part 1 about them), as well as old friends we miss a ton, like Mark's daughter Julia and her husband Gabe. We've been friends with Gabe and Julia for about 10 years and there's something so special about our relationship. Just an evening watching our kids play together in the backyard felt like a jolt of rejuvenation during this fast-paced season of life.
These are the kinds of reunions I was hoping to find on this trip and are what led me to say yes to Scottie's crazy cross-country idea in the first place.
We had the unexpected surprise of not only spending time with our old friends and meeting Julia's dad and Step-mom, but also of meeting both of their entire families who were all in town from different places! I always love getting to know a little more about the history behind the people I love by meeting those who've influenced them along the way.
Thank you Gabe and Julia, for giving us a reason to stay in such a great town that we grew to love, and for giving us the means to stay there by finding us a temporary home! We were so happy we got to spend so much time with you and we were grateful for every second of it! Love you guys!
When we were in Napa, Scottie noticed how many of the empty-nesters we encountered throughout the day, looked at us enviously. Like they were remembering the good old days with their own children at Celia's age. One older gentleman approached us at dinner to compliment Scottie on what a good dad he is and how sweet Celia is. The emotion he was trying to contain as he said it, reminded us that this is it… this is our life, the only one we have. And we need to find ways to feel it, remember it, and love it; whether we're having a wonderful dinner in Napa, or awake with a teething child in the middle of the night.
People with grown children tell us all the time to cherish these moments because they go so fast. It's so hard to fully comprehend how to do that, but I want to try. I hope it's good enough to just soak it in and do my best to be present and grateful, because even those few things are so hard for me to do in the midst of it all. But it's all I've got.
I think this quote from "This Is Us" (an incredible TV show you should be watching!), by a character who is asked what it feels like to be dying, perfectly sums up the way I want to live…
"What does it feel like to be dying?"
"It feels like all these beautiful pieces of life are flying around me
and I'm trying to catch them.
When my granddaughter falls asleep in my lap,
I try to catch the feeling of her breathing against me.
And when I make my son laugh,
I try to catch the sound of him laughing.
How it rolls up from his chest.
But the pieces are moving faster now, and I can't catch them all.
I can feel them slipping through my fingertips.
And soon where there used to be my granddaughter breathing and my son laughing,
there will be nothing.
I know it feels like you have all the time in the world.
But you don't.
So, stop playing it so cool.
Catch the moments of your life.
Catch them while you're young and quick.
Because sooner than you know it, you'll be old.
And slow.
And there'll be no more of them to catch."
So I think maybe it's like that. Like I need to "catch the pieces flying around me while I'm young and quick". But it means I need to be off my phone. I need to be out of distraction mode. I need to be in the moment. I need to be grateful. I need to get over myself and my self-pity. I need to focus on others around me and the big picture.
Even as I'm reading this, the thought of applying it sounds terrifying. Which is crazy, because it's probably the best thing I could ever do for myself, my family, and my life. But change is scary. Improvement is scary. And giving up things I've come to rely on, both physical things like technology, and emotional coping mechanisms like pity parties, is scary and painful. Because once that layer of protection is removed, there's bound to be other things underneath that have been covered up because they're even worse than the covering.
So here we go. Into real life. To face it and to feel it. To stop coping and start experiencing. To remember, retain, and know I did my best with what I was given in the present.
P.S. If you STILL don't know what the big deal about Danville, CA is, you're missing out! Read Part 1 to hear about our experience there.

Eve was Weak! Carrie Remake
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | May 25, 2011 |
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | May 25, 2011 |
It's Tuesday, which means that it's about time to announce another remake that nobody wants, that will suck raw oysters compared to the original, will probably get made in 3D, and just about is guaranteed to make $300 million and kick off a trilogy of crappy films, because the universe hates you that much. How much precisely?
Well, Carrie is the lucky remake this time, one of the great teen horror films of the seventies, and one of the few not built around psychos stabbing skinny girls, rinsing (or not) and repeating. It's also one of the few Stephen King adaptations, and there have been a lot of those, that manage to both be relatively faithful to the source material and a quality film in and of itself. King himself loved the film, which is significant since he loathed the other big adaptation of his work in the seventies, Kubrick's take on The Shining.
What does King say about the potential remake?
"I've heard rumblings about a Carrie remake, as I have about The Stand and It. ... Who knows if it will happen? The real question is why, when the original was so good? I mean, [it's] not Casablanca or anything, but a really good horror-suspense film, much better than the book. Piper Laurie really got her teeth into the bad-mom thing. Although Lindsay Lohan as Carrie White ... hmmm. It would certainly be fun to cast. I guess I could get behind it if they turned the project over to one of the Davids: Lynch or Cronenberg."
I'm not sure Lohan could stay sober for long enough to film one scene at this point. And the cocaine's adding enough mileage that she's going to have trouble plausibly playing someone her own age, let alone a high school kid at this point.
But they don't really need Lohan, since Megan Fox is rumored to be very interested in the role of Carrie. Sources close to Fox said this:
"Megan is 25 now but she's sure she could still do justice to teenage Carrie. She's told her people to make it happen. Megan is desperate to get away from her Transformers image and move on with her acting career. Theater really appeals to her. She has nothing lined up yet but she's open to any offers. She hopes to mix theater work with some smaller indie movies and only do big movies if they are right for her."
Being a cynical sort, I just assume that most anonymous sources are one of two categories. They're either the individual in question speaking directly through a mouth piece to spread rumors they've designed themselves, or they're pulled out of the ass of no one in particular. In this case, I'm just impressed that Fox had enough brain cells to rub together to remember to say all that in the third person as she pretended to be a source in order to beg for any work of any kind. It goes without saying that she would not be suited to play painfully naive and emotionally abused Carrie, but I doubt this rumor has the slightest basis in reality.
The last bit of news on the project is that they've brought in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa to write the screenplay. He wrote six episodes of "Big Love" and has been brought in to fix the "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark" script and to work on the next season of "Glee." It's hard to judge something like that. To date, he technically only has the "Big Love" credits, which is probably a pretty decent sign, and you can't fault a guy for taking work. But dude's going to have the Spiderman musical on his resume, and I don't know how you come back from that.

Libyan officials have been quick to condemn the violence in their country, but Egypt's politicians are staying silent. Marc Lynch believes Egyptian leaders are making a huge mistake:
Morsi and the Brotherhood do not seem to understand, or perhaps they simply do not care, how important their public stance is today in defining their image. The U.S. has taken real risks by engaging with the Brotherhood, pushing for democratic change despite their likely victory in fair elections, and insisting that the Egyptian military allow the completion of the transition after Morsi's victory. That was necessary to have any hope of genuine democratic change in Egypt, and the right position to take. But I suspect that many in Washington will feel that they have been repaid with Morsi's silence after the breach of the Embassy wall which could well have resulted in the same kind of tragedy as in Benghazi. And that will have enduring effects on the nature and extent of American support for Egypt's transition — how much harder is it going to be to get debt relief through Congress now? It is quite telling that Obama said nothing about Egypt in his remarks about the deaths in Benghazi.

Charles Edward Stuart tried to overthrow the UK government, that had turned to the Hanover family, in 1745. He marched into England and his army was chased back into Scotland and wiped out at Culloden Moor. Bonnie Prince Charlie had to escape and Flora MacDonald helped him to get out of the country, alluded to by the boat to left. She married Allan MacDonald in 1750. Ironically, she emigrated to the colony of North Carolina in 1774 and supported the Crown when the colonies rebelled. She returned to Scotland in 1779, when she was wounded when her ship was attacked by a privateer en route. She died on the Isle of Skye in 1790. Her Wikipedia article is here.
