Brief about Transylvania Colony Blog :)

Okay., trying this again with a different title to the postings.  Lol  I was thinking, why not post up just things I see or think about in general and not lock it down to just one area.  So whether you agree with what I am posting or not, at least there will be more variety.  J

What I want to do is talk about the area generally around me.  Cool things going on here and sometimes maybe not so cool things.  LOL Too, I have a great deal of interest in certain areas, like movies, books, cryptozoology (not to be confused with crypto-linguist, which I was at one time), Space Exploration, science, local foods, travel, etc.  So if you like what you read here, maybe you will also like future posting as well.  Comments too are welcome and helpful hints as to other things out there going on wouldn’t hurt either.  Too besides the traffic meter it lets me know who all is reading it and what they are thinking.  J

So why tile the postings “Transylvania Colony”?  Well, I like the whole spooky thing behind Transylvania, the deep valleys where things could go on for centuries and no one would know about them. Spooky.. scary things…kind of like Appalachia area, only the mountains have eroded in time, but it still leaves hollows and such where no one but the people living there go…and maybe other things.   Speaking of Appalachia, I worked with people who lived in the area, and also worked in the area for many years.  Don’t believe the junk they put out about the area.  There are a lot of hard working people who live in beautiful homes nestled in the trees along the mountains in the area.  Too, many are a proud people who don’t really feel the need to bend a knee just because someone says they need to do so. 

But back to the reasons, part of it was that it could have been the 14^th Colony.  That would have been really cool.  But it seems due to some misunderstandings about property rights and colonial territory it fell through.  This based on what I could figure out from my preliminary research.  I may delve into this more one day, but, anyhow; the colony would have stretched almost to Lexington and included a lot of Western Kentucky as well as a portion of Northern Tennessee.  So in looking at the map, it really covers the area I spend most of my time and will be mainly posting about, well, including Lexington area, just because I lived there for many years and love that City too.
