OK, I'm bedded down for the night in Kingsport, TN--about 700 miles from New Haven and 500 from my destination of Starkville, MS. I ate at a Waffle House in Winchester, VA, a few hours ago, and all is well, except that it's fucking cold as feet.

Virginia is one big-ass, boring-to-drive-through state. It's about 330 miles the way I come through, and there's not a worthwhile thing in most of the state except a whole gang of Waffle Houses and cheap cigarettes.

Currently I'm freaking out because the fluorescent light over the mirror in this motel room makes it quite evident that I am totally fucking grey-headed. I swear, two more years and I'll be a complete greybeard, minus the beard.

When I was getting gas in Winchester, there was a towheaded woman wearing a beret at the pump next to me in a car with a "I think, therefore I vote Republican" bumper sticker, and I totally called her a honky motherfucker.

woah, I totally know those areas.
I grew up in Paris, VA, then moved about a mile away to Mount Weather. I went to high school in Berryville. yeeech. Berryville sucks. So does Winchester. Well...it's not like Warrenton is exactly a hip town either. haha. but I still think Winchester & Berryville are worse. : )

How funny! My dad works near there. We used to go to the Paris Diner all the time. A hurricane tore that town all up. Well, it wasn't really a "town", I guess. Neither is Hume.

Berryville! Hahahaha. That god-awful radio station, WINC.
