My pleasure, Myra. The brief time I spent in WV was a lesson. It was an opportunity to drive past the Hawk's Nest and learn of its story, to drive past the place where the "rednecks" assembled to march to that battle, and to learn of the continued struggles of mines, miners, the land, and big companies (which continues today in the form of Massey Energy, the 'purchase' of judges, the Chamber of Commerce, mine accidents, mountaintop removal, and more).
