Words of Wisdom from the Ole Raggedy Boy Himself



To say that I am excited about my upcoming travels is an understatement. Ole Neil's words sum it up:



Are you Ready for the Country?

Slipping and sliding and playing domino.
Lefting and then righting; it's not a crime you know.
You gotta' tell your story, boy, before it's time to go.
Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?
Are you ready for the country because it's time to go?

Everybody Knows this is Nowhere

I think I'd like to go
back home
And take it easy
There's a woman that
I'd like to get to know living there. Everybody seems to wonder What it's like down here
I gotta get away
from this day-to-day running around, Everybody knows this is nowhere.

Everybody, everybody knows.

Everybody knows.

Every time I think about back home
It's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there
right now
Just passing time.


Everybody seems to wonder What it's like down here
I gotta get away
from this day-to-day running around, Everybody knows this is nowhere.
Everybody, everybody knows
Everybody knows
.

Blacksburg, here I come!






Ah, yes...breakfast at Gillile's--Chappie's Choice, of course...

Barbecue at Mike's--real barbecue, not the vinegary mess they serve here and have the nerve to call barbecue...

Whatever movie is playing at the Lyric...

Dinner at Alexander's--Plugra butter, natch...

Garlic bread and soup at the Cellar...

AND

A nighttime drive around the drill field. Heck, I may circle it six or more times...
