Asheville is a very nice city! A little hot in the Summer but otherwise quite comfortable. I hope you enjoyed it!

This is so true I'm a child of Mississippi, and I know hot and creatures very well!

Southern summer also has an admirable work ethic. It rarely takes breaks and doesn’t mind working the night shift. I will never forget in 1950s/1960s Eastern Virginia, lying in my sweat-drenched bed, window open in futile hope of a breeze, with a near-deafening chorus of crickets laughing a capella at my misery. Most oddly, I have a bit of nostalgia for that memory. When I read Faulkner, it was visceral.

That’s why hubby and I took our vacation to Ashville NC in June. Kansas in summer is bad enough! Lol

Doctor, please buy some EGO lawn battery powered electric tools. I bought an EGO lawn trimmer for a large lawn (about a third of a one third acre lot on rented land where my manufactured home sits) last summer. I am quite happy with it. I don't even need to use my Scotts push mower any more! EGO also sells a great leaf blower I bought last fall when the leaves started coming down. That "leaf" blower also works quite well to blow snow off a deck and/or a car's windshield. EGO tools are convenient and easy. You will never have to risk a heart attack from struggling to start your pollution spewing two cycle in high heat again. God Bless you, my brother in Christ.

That’s why WV is perfect - only partly lethal by nature. But, ATV’s plus beer goggles - priceless. Great job, Ed!
