 One of the things I bragged to my friends back north about when we moved here was "the wave." I even proposed to some friends that you could make a great commercial promoting Floyd about this. A brochure about Floyd County once touted the county as having some of the highest elevations in the state (er..um..Commonwealth...gotta get used to that!) So picture this: a video of a drive around the backroads with people waving as you pass. Old people, young people, farmers on tractors, people in pickup trucks, people on a porch swing, kids in the front yard, just waving as you pass. And in the background is the Beach Boys' song playing. The narrator says, 'get away from the noise and the crowds and the traffic. Come back to a place that still remembers the old values, where people still matter." And then fade in the Beach Boys singing, "Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world..." |

We actually had tornado watches in the Blue Ridge Mountains last week. Over in Franklin and Henry Counties they had tornado WARNINGS, which are much worse. The National Weather Service visited Big Stone Gap (a bit south and west of here, but still in the mountains) and said that an EF-1 tornado did indeed touch down there, and did some minor damage. |

The wind is howling around outside tonight, which naturally brings to mind the proverb that March "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." Today was 60 degrees and sunny, and the first day of spring is just a couple of weeks away...if the calendar is to be believed any more than the weatherman lately! |
