The Bishop Shuffle

Each year around the end of summer, beginning of fall, there is a time of gathering for survival... Yep,yep,yep, I said "survival" and it has to do with warmth. We still have woodstoves and fire places that are some families only way for surviving the winter. It can actually be a very fun adventure because many of the places where you have to go "wooding" are high in the mountains or deep in the mountains where fallen trees need to be removed which make for excellent firewood. It is a cost effective way to provide heat throughout the winter which can become very cold. It is a time of family gathering and participating in an "historic" event. Yep, it is like going back in time to a degree, yet many have their trusty chain saws and power saws, but for our family it was a simple wood axe and a lot of man power. It is a wonderful place to live if you like adventures and the great outdoors. Some grow to hate it here but it isn't the place itself, they say it is the people, but not all the people only certain groups of people. What many do not realize is that those same type of people are every where, they are the ones that are miserable and seem to have an agenda of making everyone around them miserable as well.

Bishop is a great place compared to the cities across America because we still have the roots living that represent the truth of America and the dream of America. I am still proud to be an American and I pray for our country that we can get back on the right track to the great nation we used to be.
