departing from this town set in the blue ridge and home of the gee haw whimmy diddling competition. headed south for lesser cultural stimulation and hotter weather. the hometel here has sucked and i’ve yet to get a good night’s sleep… it’s been weeks……nightmares…..restlessness. the desire to weep.

despite all this killjoy misery….. my week here has been a great experience. i am so glad i came and i love my job! i feel good about that. and hangin’ with my homegirl….
