When Mark and Dave and I head down to GFM we're a couple of hours driving through West Virginia. It's beautiful-but-kind-of-sad country. Hard to imagine how such a place could be economically viable (coal and tourism seem to be about the only industries - and no one but the owners seem to be getting rich from those). The interstate goes by towns that you almost never see from the highway, except for 100-foot-high billboards for restaurants, gas stations and strip bars. My favourite sign was the Friends of Coal sign. http://www.friendsofcoal.org/ I don't know why, but I thought they were funny. Anachronistic but funny. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
