I've enjoyed them all

I came home from the metal scrapyard - $58 for aluminum cans, $495 for a junk car and some other metal - to no power.

My friends were glad for the haul. They are a young couple; she's pregnant. They are in the process of remodeling a trailer on 5 acres so they headed down to the Home Improvement store and I came home to a dark home and no heat.



(As we were headed off the mountain, passed a guy who is always out walking the highways picking up cans. He supplements his disability and keeps the roads clean...but I digress)

As to your post...That's why I live here. It's simple. You aren't killing yourself just to look like everybody else and be miserable, stuck in traffic all day.

If we could get a college up here, that would be awesome. Some of us have talked about a cooking school/restaurant/farm where we could get help from TN with agri-tourism programs.

Anyhoo, thanks for your input.
