Beautiful place!

Back a few years when I was general manager of a regional DHIA (Dairy Herd Improvement Association) One of our states was WV... My lab manager was from there (but our office was in Hagerstown, Maryland) One day in my typical joking manner, I told her that I could always tell when I was getting close to West Virginia. She asked ‘How’s that?’ I told her that whenever the only thing I could get on the car radio was Amazing Grace instrumental played on a Jews Harp and Fiddle I knew I was close. She turned and gave me that evil eye look and said ‘And what pray-tell is wrong with that?’. So, I just tucked my tail and mumbled something and found some busy work to do.

I really like West Virginia, however, they have gotten so much government money, that they are almost becoming an extension of Washington, DC..... Huge buildings for FBI and quite a few other government agencies were built there as a result of deals to get Senator Byrd’s votes...

That was my one concern with the state. That between Byrd's association as well as the fact that it is a pretty poor state, that the people would be a bunch of whiny victims with their hands out. Much like the illegals are here.

But, even if that were the case, with 100+ acres, I could disregard them all (unless I needed to go into town).
