My friend from Virginia sent me this “Christmas tree”.
Christmas tree at University Club, Blacksburg, Virginia
I lived with him in that house among many others. The best place in Blacksbug to have learned some more about the small town. Its from here I used to walk towards Back Street Pizza in the evening sit around in the open near that Gas station (North/South Main) think about the setting sun and after sitting there for half an hour enough tears would run and I would come back walking picking a carrot and dip (and some times a monterey chicken from 7/11 sit in that place near the courthouse eat the stuff and get back to Club.) Its still running in my head do you see that? All you have to do is keep alive in the ferrocious attacks of a life that can be stormy to fatal.
