I live in West Virginia. I once walked out onto the top of Seneca Rocks.

I crawled back. This video made me feel like I did that day. I had to turn it off.

Spain has 20% Unemployment.

All they have to do is make all the Unemployed people walk that path and presto, they will have 5% Unemployment.
